Review summary

Another fun and relaxing cruise on the Paradise. We'll be back later this month.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy Breezy. Late check-ins are the best.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Always a nice variety. Just wish they could somehow keep the food hotter. Oh and ditch the striploin steak. Love the Blue Iguana.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Seemed to be something going on all the time. The fitness center while small is nicely equipped,

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The stage shows were very good. The lounge bands were not to our liking but each to their own.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward and dining room staff were efficient and engaging. Requests were made promptly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
She's an older ship ship but kept clean. It doesn't have all amenities of the larger ships and if you want rock climbing, diving and the like, go somewhere else. If you want a clean ship, friendly staff and an easy to get around ship, give the Paradise a try.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an outside cabin on the upper deck starboard side. Rooms are smaller than the larger ships but it was kept clean.

Ship tip

Deck 8 doesn't go through because of the galley between the two dining rooms. Use 7 or 9. Get away from the crowds at the serenity area, deck 9 aft.

Ports of call

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Visited port shops only.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Visited many times before...stayed on ship.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Walked off with our bags and was in the car headed home by 7:40

Appreciate your detailed review. Glad you enjoyed your cruise. Good advice for those who don’t understand the difference between a smaller (and older) ship to the bigger ones!
