Review summary

This was my first time back on the Paradise since COVID although I've been on two other Carnival ships within the past year. Living in Tampa, I'm thrilled to see the Paradise back in service. We had a great time! although it was crowded the staff worked very hard to make everyone happy. Can't wait to return!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Great view from the balcony. A little noisy with people yelling in the halls at all hours of the night and early morning. Shower was wonderful. Bed was very comfortable.

Ship tip

Be patient with the staff. They are working harder than ever before because there are labor shortages and ships are at full capacity again. If the bar is crowded, consider getting a simple drink that's not too hard for them to make.
