Review summary

The Paradise is an older ship, but was fun and relaxing for the price. Employees were great, service was great, but the food as most cruisers know was marginal at best. Need 5 nights away to refresh your batteries but on a budget or don't want to spend a fortune then this is a great cruise.

Rommel was our dining room server. He was really great. Pat was our cabin steward and she was awesome. Ina in guest services went above and beyond.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Not much to it. It was a porthole cabin. Not a lot of furniture so the room felt big.

Ship tip

This ship is small so you see the same people every day and there isn't a lot to do so relax and don't be afraid to make friends. It makes it a lot more enjoyable.

Wi-fi is awful. Go across the street to the high speed Internet cafe - $3 for 30 minutes and I think it was $4 for an hour. The port's stores were without wi-fi for 2 days.
