The cruise was great!The Paradise is an older and smaller Fantasy class ship.But very clean and well maintained.So if you are used to the bigger ships,keep an open mind and just enjoy ☺️.She’s a nice Ship.I would definitely sail on her again.My wife likes the bigger ships and she enjoyed the Paradise.

As usual,Carnival has wonderful staff!Our foom steward I Kadek was Excellent!Johnny on the spot for anything we needed.All the staff went above and beyond.Our 3 year old is very friendly and loves to smile and wave at everbody.Every staff member he encountered waved back and greeted him. He made good friends with a few particular staff members.They made a point to greet and hug him everytime they saw him all around the ship.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The Paradise was well kept and clean in my opinion.
TampaBay was a very cool city.We flew in 2 days prior to Cruising and rented a car. Well worth the extra time and expense.The Buccaneers stadium was neat.Plenty of shopping and places to eat.The Skyway Bridge was Awesome!Especially sailing under it on the way in and out!If you Fancy a Beautiful Beach.Take a short drive over to Clearwater Beach.It was Gorgeous!we went at night and during the day.Parking aplenty if you are willing to walk a block or 2.
Cozumel is another favorite,4th time to this port.Always enjoy going.Plenty if shopping and things to see and do.Lots to eat.Mr Sanchos is Great!Highly Recommend!Food and drinks in Port are very pricey,Beware!And Cozumel being known for the Pier Runners,we had a few,nothing like a Ship Horn to get people to move their ass!😂
2nd to to Mahogany Bay.a definite favorite of ours.Its Beautiful and plenty to see and do right in port.we did an excursion with sloths.My wife adores them.It was kind of rushed due to rain.1 of the sloths was expecting,poor girl looked miserable.But overall not a bad experience.Ended up at a chocolate and liquor shop.Chocolate wasn’t bad.Didn’t try the liquor.
Thank you for sharing your cruising experience. Appreciate the heads up about Tampa, will be leaving from there next year. Glad you and your family enjoyed your cruise.
