Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Guy's Burgers were amazing!!!! The buffet did not disappoint either.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Carnival Paradise is a smaller ship and had only one rather small pool. It was always packed and we didn't see anyone getting out to use the restroom. 🤮 We got in one time on a port day when there were only a hand full of people in the pool.

Entertainment

Did not go to any shows.

Children's Programs

Only myself and my husband cruising.

Mr Sancho's was so beautiful and their staff go above and beyond to make sure you're time there is one you'll never forget. Mr Sancho's gets 5+ stars 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Disembarkation

Smooth and easy, we carried our own luggage versus having the staff take care of it for us. Highly recommend!!!!
