Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Guys burgers🤌🏾 Mudnight Pizza🤌🏾. MDR not so great. We were seated with 2 other families that we later found out were on our floor. They were lovely and after breaking the ice we had a lot of fun. The staff were less than excellent. Our service was very slow. They did not pay attention to requests. There were several allergies at the table and I was not confident that the allergens wouldn't be served.

The Carnival Deli

Guy's Burger Joint

A staple for us. Like a back yard BBQ.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pools were crowded. Oh I had to give my spa appointment to my 17 year old because 1) they did not have the spa treatment I paid for nor could they tell me if the alternative treatment offered contained an ingredient I am allergic to. My 17 year old enjoyed her first cruise massage

Majestic Casino

5 out of 5

A lot of fun

Jogging Track

4 out of 5

Exactly what a jogging track should be

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We saw a comedian and he was ok. We played Bingo, which I was excited for but I don't know, the electronic component, meaning they know who is buying which bingo sheet, did not inspire confidence. We hit the casino also. That was fun but same concerns.

Children's Programs

No children traveled with us. But let's say we saw a lot of kids riding elevator as all day each day

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward, TOP NOTCH.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was older and the staff did every thing they could to to maintain a clean appearance. Really no signs of wear and tear.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was great size for and my 2 young adults. Ee were supposed to have an obstruted view, but we only had a rescue boat slightly below us. The was a walkeay below our balcony and it wwas great for people warching. The cabin steward was busy yet kept our room in great order.

Ship tip

Paradise is a older smaller ship. Relax and enjoy it. I could also invest in the specialty dining.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

4 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
We arrived AFTER our scheduled excursion because of the time difference. It was a speed boat to LaIsla Paradiso. They wound up putting us on the Cattmaran and offering a small refund. The Cattamaran was relaxing. The island it self was not my cup of tea. Pit toilets, terrible food, raccoons all over. I laid out on the beach for the most part. I see the broader appeal with the Mexican pharmacy, that's just not my thing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smoooooth.
