Review summary
This was an awesome trip for myself and my wife! We really enjoyed the Cozumel Twister excursion, and we rented a scooter in Key West for less than $60 for a full day. I had been on a cruise before, however, it was my wife's first. I had been apprehensive about the reviews for the Paradise before leaving. I feel a great deal of them are unjustified, as the Paradise is a fantastic ship with lots to do to keep you occupied. The food was excellent and plentiful. We thought the comedy shows were a little too much on the vulgar side, but nothing worth complaining about as others seemed to enjoy it. We did stay on the lowest deck, where they had a fan to air out the carpet, but I did not notice any bad odors at all. Being near the back of the ship was a little noisy, but that was understandable. Next time we just won't book the back of the ship! All in all a great time was had and I would definitely cruise on the Paradise again!

Don't be afraid to say no to pictures! That part of it was a little overbearing, thankfully we weren't pressured to purchase one every time our photo was taken.
