Review summary

I wouldn't be sad/mad if I were to go on this cruise again!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and not overly crowded with people pushing and shoving!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet food was so-so. Never did eat in dining room. Guy's Burgers and Blue Iguana food was excellent.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The on deck parties were great.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the shows. However the 80's rock show was marred by a group of kids that were not supervised and were extremely rude sitting behind us. Sadly one of the ships crew never did anything when I complained. Guessing I was the "Karen" that night!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward Michael was great! Very friendly and willing to do whatever was needed. Nyara, a busser at the late night buffet, was extremely nice and a pleasure to speak to. You could hear the joy in her voice when talking about her home country of Zimbabwe!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was very clean and crew members were always around cleaning something. One flaw I seen were the public restroom doors. They are opened via a wave of the hand in front of a sensor. Once the door is opened it takes 15 to 20 seconds for the door to shut. A bit of an annoyance if really really needing to go...

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was the perfect size as we didn't spend much time in there. Shower and sleep!

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Our group really enjoyed the port. We didn't book an excursion visa the ship but we did get an open air horseless carriage driven by David. Took us through the city to see some sights ammendment to a wonderful tequila tasting.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
This is where the crowded pushing and shoving was found. Not real sure what the answer is to alleviate this problem. Everyone thinks they need to be the first one off the ship

The Paradise is a great ship!! The smaller and more personal feel is freaking awesome! It wasn’t too people-ly 😆😎
