Review summary
This is our 3rd time on the Paradise, and quite honestly, we were expecting a little more than we got. While certain parts of the ship seemed to have been given attention, troubling ventilation in the room and in the Casino areas were a few of the disappointments. The over crowding at the main pool was by nature of only having one pool, but there just didn't seem that much to do. We will return to Carnival mainly because of the food and service. The Paradise is a good starter ship for those never having gone on a cruise, but we will be seeking out other ships in the fleet next time.Embarkation

Ship tip
Do not expect to have muchof a pool experience, as there is still only one main pool. Don't expect much out of the Serenity deck either, as there are 2 hot tubs filled with revelers who have typically had too much to drink. Not very Serene.
