Review summary

This was our 30th anniversary cruise and we had no complaints about the ship or staff. Unfortunately, some of the guests were disappointing. There is a dress code in the dining room and although there are other casual options, many guests dressed inappropriately even on formal night. This somewhat lessens this experience for the staff and other guests.

We had no children on board.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was excellent! In the dining room, our waiters took very good care of us and it was such a treat to be served. Our cabin stewardess went above and beyond and the staff as a whole was very friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Although the ship was older, it was very well maintained and was very accommodating to all of our needs. We would go again.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was spotless and very comfortable.

Ship tip

Take advantage of the dining room. It is fun to get to know your staff and table mates. And don’t let the age of the ship discourage you as Paradise was very well kept up.

Cozumel, Mexico

We rented a keep and drive around the island visiting a public beach. We have been there before but otherwise we would have taken an excursion.
