Review summary

Besides the rocky rough waters rocking the boat overall I would not recommend this particular boat for comfort… the destinations were okay they take you to the bad areas first then make up for it taking you to the nicer destination last.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
A lot of walking for people to verify the sane info was very pointless

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The food was nasty. Unseasoned overcooked and mostly unedible

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Not many activities to keep you engaged or wanting to go back to do it again.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
I was not impressed not entertained by the comedians, the DJ’s was decent a little outdated with the music. I think there was only one song I enjoyed and that was Wobble

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
My room keeper was nice she did what she was supposed to do & made sure we was straight. Didn’t bother us too much which was good for us.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Definitely needs a facelift everything was broken or worn out. I guess overtime things get replaced if needed but very raggedy boat.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
It was decent could use more regular plugs since there was only two not everything people use is usb capable. I was unable to use the pillows because the synthetic mix has feathers and I’m highly allergic there were no other pillow options I was forced to roll up towels and sleep on them for 5 days.

Ship tip

Pack light, if you’re allergic to feathers bring your own pillow otherwise you will not get to enjoy yourself with a puffy face sore throat and a headache.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

3 out of 5
Some people were friendly some people weren’t.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
Wasn’t worth the money.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Very nice place to visit lots of things to explore.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Unorganized they place you in a blue riband room for early flights and they have you wait, but we could’ve waited on the floor we had to disembark on due to having to carry our own luggage would’ve made toting luggage around less tiresome.

Sailed The Paradise in June, we had a good time. Yes, the ship is older, but overall I think it's in great shape.

Interesting that you didn’t care for Mahogany Bay and said it wasn’t worth the money. The beach at the port is free and most love it. Food is obviously subjective, but I have been on 20+ cruises, and 4 this year, and have never found anything inedible. It’s not 5 star cuisine, but certainly not horrible and about the best you can expect when they are feeding thousands of people 3 meals a day.
