They need to have more of a variety to choose from!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I looked at the football games and gamble a little. Other than that, that was it. One pool with a 100 people in it!

Entertainment

It was nothing that I wanted to see!

Children's Programs

Adults only trip!

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Larry the room steward was good and Laura in customer service was good as well.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

This ship needs to be in retirement or at least updated!

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

The cabin was to too small. The bathroom smell like sewage, whether it was clean or not. I killed a roach and other insects in our room. They did reimburse us some of our money back. And you could here our cursing neighbors as well. Security was called twice!

Ship tip

If you want to sail on a larger ship, this is not it. There is nothing Paradise about Carnival Paradise.

It is a Great Ship. 2nd newest in the Class, already had two upgrades... Future Cruisers, ignore the original Post. Great Ship for shorts cruise or people that cannot afford bigger Ships... We can, and do, but love this little Ship! A great ship to start with as well. We will be going on the Breeze and the Vista 2nd time, later this year, yes they have more to offer, but Paradise is a Great Ship. Carnival is Fantastic and be will become Platinum with our April cruise.... Enjoy, have fun and remember... 90% of bad comments, have more to do with the Cruiser than the Ship!

That's why you need to do your research before you book lots of cruise buddies like the smaller older ships !! If you want all the bells and whistles then book and pay it's your vacation and your choice no good coming back whinging about it 🤷‍♀️

It’s a smaller, older ship, so I’m not sure what you expected. For a better experience, try a newer, larger ship.
