The ship is old! I would not recommend this ship to a first time as it is an old ship and very dated. The ship is also small. The staff were amazing as usual, but the ship was not as clean as the newer ships. I hate negative reviews, but the water in my cabin was brown the last night. The food was usual menu in main dining room. There were a few temperature issues with food throughout the cruise. This was a past minute cruise and the price was really cheap so I felt like I got my money's worth. However, I don't think I will ever sail on the Paradise again. It was a good cruise, just not a big fan of the ship. If you have booked with this ship, you will still have a great time, just understand that this is an older ship so the experience will differ from the newer ships.
