Ship was confusing to navigate for a small ship

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

this was terrible, when we docked at port the room filled with cigarette smoke from the vents, we tracked this to deck 5 employee area, and we asked immediately to be moved

Ship tip

Dont get any forward rooms on deck 4 or 5 the engine noice was too loud, they were in dry dock to supposedly update things and it turned out it was the engine issue on a previos cruise and they really have not fixed this

We had a great time on the Paradise last May. Vacations are what you make of them. No complaints from the 7 in our group. Sorry you had a not so nice cruise.

Would have to disagree with you, but to each their own. We had a wonderful time on the paradise in September and sailing on the paradise again in February 2024. It would be very helpful to others looking to book if you would put a discussion of what issues you ran into and details of what you didn’t like. Was guest services able to offer you the room change that you requested because of the smoke? Hopefully you have better luck next time.

That's the one ship I agree with on. They really need to scrap that ship. Sailed the paradise 1 time and only ship I did not enjoy
