Review summary
I enjoyed this 5 day cruise out of Tampa . Food and Dining was much better then 8 yrs ago. Definitely improved . Staff were Awesome too. Marian our waiter was excellent ( the best ) . The one thing I was not happy with was, on the last morning, I woke up to shower and get ready and we had no water in our room (M121) on this Carnival Paradise cruise. I managed to get a cup of water on the lido deck to brush my teeth and wash my face . They did not have the water back on as of when we got off the ship. ( it made it quite difficult for us ) . Getting off of the ship is a bit rough with so many people and only 2 guys working at getting us through customs, however, there were people getting on for the next cruise and 3000 getting off , so iIguess that should be expected. Overall, it was a good cruise and I would recommend it . The price was great and the ports and excursions were good . I do not personally like the idea of two different balances on one sign and sail card, ( casino is separate ) so after cashing out , i had to go back to do it again being it was on one card but two accounts.

Ship tip
If you do not want to wait on line or with a buzzer for dinner. Do not pick the ANYTIME dinner.. Better off with early or late seating so there is no wait.
