It was very nice. The food was good and the wait staff was very friendly. We did my time dining and each waiter was excellent. We have been on the paradise before and it does need some updates. The Cruise director was excellent and all the entertainment was really good

My favorite place to go. It’s warm and beautiful. Took a jeep ride excursion around the island and stopped at the beach. Needed more time at the beach

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

We chose to carry off our own luggage and we stayed on deck 7 and that’s the deck we were to disembark from. We were told to go up to deck 9 and wait until self assist was called and then come back down to deck 7. At this point Self-assessed was already being called so along with lots of other people in the same situation we did not go to deck 9😕. That made no sense. We have been on lots of cruises and have always checked our bags but we needed to get off earlier is why we used self assist. The larger ships seem to get people off quicker and easier.
