Carnival Paradise Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great a awesome experience and the people we met on the cruise and during dinner we're great made new friends

Want to go again! Very enjoyable and very relaxing cruise. It was great!

My cruise was very exciting lots of things to do liked all the shows hankering the veterans was awesome it moved me great job

Our journey cruise dec. 4 to 14 was a real journey. Had winds of 75 mph with high seas. Woke up one morning and feet got wet as soon as I stepped out of bed. Apparently the shower drain was stopped up in next room. Next room got another room and we did also. Food was not as good as in past. Wife ordered lobster from steak house and It was dry. We went to guest services and got 20 dollars back. The paradise needs up graded. The casino was extremely Smokey. We are platinum status and this was close to worst cruise to date. May try ncl next time we cruise. The Panama Canal was something special to See.

If you can do small, older ships, it's a good cruise. Tons of alcohol drank. Honestly, I was more disappointed in the other passengers. Other than the room problems, it' a decent deal.

It was an Amazing experience and we are planning our next cruise. So much fun!!! The staff made the experience memorable. Definitely booking a longer cruise next time!

I went on Carnival Paradise last Thanksgiving it was my 2nd cruise my first was on Carnival Fascination. My 3rd will be December 2 on Royal Caribbean Oasis of The Seas! My last cruise the first day was ruined! My cabin was not ready until 10pm that night! There was a pipe that broke and effected 5 cabins, mine was #5! I was so upset. I could not enjoy myself, but my family had no problem partying without me! LOL Anyway, I was constantly in touch with the manager. Finally, I seen men removing carpet in every cabin except for mine! Until I approached them and they replied, “This is your lucky day we have one new carpet left!” I replied “LUCKY??!! My first day is ruined!” I was able to get a good night sleep without those nasty fumes from earlier. The cabin next to me the lady took her mom and left the ship!! She was so angry!! I was able to forget the incident and enjoy the rest of my vacation. However, to my surprise my sons best friend (the daughter I always wanted) was debating with the manager about some form of reimbursement. I received a call from the manager two days later and they refunded me $150 voucher which I cashed in. I cannot wait for December RC The Oasis of The Seas!!!

We went Thanksgiving week and had a wonderful time and experience. Everyone we came in contact with were polite and so very nice. Already wanting to make this an annual event cruise 😊⚓️

This ship is older and in need of updating. We knew that going in. That being said, the hard working crew is what makes the Paradise such an enjoyable experience. The cruise director Jamie and her team really went above and beyond to make the cruise fun and enjoyable. The ship was very clean and our cabin attendant Ida was great. The shows were great, and Scotty K. the comedian was hillarious. The food was very good in the dining rooms, but the buffet was just so so. We felt that the buffet dining area was a little crowded and under staffed, as it was hard to find a clean table a couple of times. Cozumel was fun, and embarking and dis-embarking in Tampa were easy. I definitely recommend the faster to the fun upgrade! My only real complaint about this cruise is the smoking. It's hard to get away from cigarette smoke on this ship. A lot of the trivia contests and games are held directly across from a smoking bar which makes them hard to enjoy if you don't enjoy sucking down second hand smoke. You have to walk through the smoke filled casino to get to most venues. Also, we had a balcony room and the people in the room ahead of us kept smoking on their balcony, which kept blowing smoke and ashes back on us. We complained to the service desk several times, but they failed to do anything to stop it. All in all, it was a nice cruise and we had a fun time!

It was a great cruise ..7 more months until the next one..cant wait ..ready ! Excited!! The cabin state room was very nice ocean view , food , entertainment was all great .

my first cruise ever the experience was amazing friendly staff great food great entertainment just being able to relax and enjoy meeting new people

Food was mediocre, service good at times. Should have a more variety at shops and more hours. Possibly include more wait staff at larger tables. Weather was great. During the safety briefing, it could've been a shorter time.

We had a wonderful, relaxing cruise. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and accommodating. There was plenty to do on the boat to keep us entertained.

I have sailed on this ship now 3 times and I enjoyed it everytime. It is one Carnivals older and smaller ships so there is not all the new restaurants and activities like the newer ships but there is still plenty to do and have fun. The Paradise sails out of Tampa FL with great itineraries.

The Paradise is an older and smaller ship but I still love it! It is so close to home at the Port of Tampa so I have cruised on her multiple times. Great food, pretty decor and plenty to keep my boyfriend and I entertained for sure!

Love the Carnival Paradise ship everything is wonderful the staff and food and entertainment so great , love the 24 hour pizza and sitting on the back of the ship . Going under the skyway was so cool

was very dissatisfied, been on many carnival cruises, this is the only one I was dissatisfied with. The service desk staff on the paradise wasn't very nice. They need to go for training on how to talk to guests.

She's an older ship so please do your research before booking then complaining she needs TLC. She's going for overhaul in 2018. Had a great time. It's all about what you make of it.

Great ship. Awesome shows and activities. Employees were all super nice and outgoing. The food was delicious. The pool was a little small. Overall, i love the ship.
