Review summary

Getting home and off the ship was ridiculous. Only 1 person in customs was insane. Elation restaurant food wasnt the greatest and some of the waiters didnt like if you ordered more than 1 appetizer. The cruise director Leon was absolutely amazing. For his first week he did a phenomenal job. We really enjoyed Gerry, one of the workers. He went above and beyond to make sure whatever event he was working everyone was happy!!

having 1 customs agent was not Carnival's fault. That was the fault of the US Custom's Department. Ordering more than 1 appetizer is allowed, however it slows down the whole dinner process. they don't mind 2 appetizers as much but when you start going beyond 2, then it slows everything down. jojominke - on the Paradise there are 2 restaurants, one is called Elation and the other is Destiny.

I didnt have a problem ordering two appetizers nightly. Side note, I thought Leon was an idiot and did a horrible job. By day 2, i tuned him out.

Why would they care if you ordered more than 1 appetizer? You can order as much you wish, we pay for that.
