Entertainment

3 out of 5
There was 1 female performer I got a real kick out of. Her name was Jamie. She did a love and marriage show and a 80's trivia show. She freaking hilarious!! Please keep her and give her a raise!

Service and Staff

Very friendly from wait staff to housekeeping.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Although the ship is 30 years old it was kept fairly clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin was very outdated. Needs renovations. Didn't even have a USB charger in room. Bathroom looked like it was from the 70's.

Ship tip

Ship does not have stabilizers on it. So when there's 4ft swells u better hold on.

Paradise was built in 1998 - only @ 20 years old -- I thought lido breakfast is earlier than 7:30 -- we always order room service breakfast to nibble while we get ready(coffee, tea, bagel, fruit), then go eat real breakfast
