Review summary

You could not ask for a better staff on board the Paradise. Our cruise director Jamie was amazing, very enthusiastic and engaging. Our room steward, Dennis, was awesome. He was so great with interacting with the kids and did a top notch job. The only down side was really the ship, it is old and it looks and feels it. This ship could really use some love and moderization.

Ship tip

I would not select dine on your time dinning. It did add a level of inconvenience I wouldn't have thought about at the beginning.
