Review summary

If I cruise carnival again it would have to be a bigger ship and I would do more research on activities and entertainment on board before booking again.

The paradise is near the bottom of carnivals ships overall. I actually took my ex on it for her first ever cruise and she loved it and is addicted now. There are plenty of much better ships you might enjoy more like the Breeze Horizon or Mardi Gras or even some others as well. Startling on a lower end ship then moving to better ones is better than starting on an awesome ship then going to a lesser one as you will be mote disappointed that way. Have fun on your next cruise!

Paradise. Of course it was pre-pandemic and things have changed. I prefer cruising on the smaller ships without all the bells & whistles.

Some lines have better shows, some have better food. What's the priority? Ncl has some nice shows. I think Oceania, smaller, has the good food. The happy medium is all opinion because it's what you like and that might not be the same to me. Look for newer ships. Good luck and happy sailing.
