Carnival Paradise Cruise Reviews - Reviews

ship was clean, staff friendly, dining menu was same every day, needs to make cahnges, shows were not great, better entertainment would be needed, bingo taken away.

It has been years since I have cruised Carnival. What a difference with this experience. Staff helpful, friendly and polite. Food vastly improved over earlier years. Crowd management excellent.

It's ok, I noticed that the balcolny rooms were actually inside (almost invisable), just not that modern

ship was big enough but still small enough it didnt take forever to get from one end to the other

The was literally the best thing I've ever experienced I wish I could live there haha.

The trip over all was good. We had bad weather on two of the days but that is obviously no fault of carnival. The truth is the only part that was bad was the food!! Maybe the cooks where having a bad week . I don't know but every time i turned around the food was under cooked or way over cooked.

Well kept for an older ship in the Carnival fleet

ok. Just ok

Good - very clean. Only problem was the box at the corner of the bed with the life jackets. This made it difficult to see out of the portholes and to get to the other side of the bed. You had to climb over the table or the bed.

The ship was large but very outdated. I was not impressed.

A group of 12 sailed on the Carnical Paradise. Living an hour from Tampa, it was so nice to just drive an hour to board ship. We loved the shows and music in the different lounges. Also, the cruise director planned many fun things. The ship was definitely very clean in all places. The service was excellent. They were very good about remembering our names. Amazed me that they could do this.

The Carnival Paradise to Grand Cayman and Cozumel was a relaxful and casual cruise. The common areas of the ship were very well kept. The staterooms, I'm afraid are showing their wear with a TV that was a small computer monitor with few station choices. The level of entertainment was fair with the cruise director and dancers as the best. This ship is a smaller class and doesn't provide the Promenade/Shops that bigger ships provide. The Pools were very small even though you could use them for a quick dip. The food itself was excellent in the main dining but lacked variety in the buffet. The deserts were fantastic though with many choices. Overall, if your OK with a smaller boat, a casual feel, for the money, this carnival option is a good one.

Overall I had a great experience. I was happy with the opportunity to choose my dinner hour, and with the activities offered.The crew members were friendly, and the room accommodations were comfortable.The food selections were good for the most part, but I was not blown away by anything in the formal dining rooms. Food selections in other areas made up for this. I would cruise this line and ship again.

This was the first cruise with my husband. Overall it was a great experience. There were always activities to engage in, which was important to me. We did not enjoy it as much as an all-inclusive resort as we have done in the past. I think the cruise experience met my expectations.

The ships decor is very outdated. We went with our small children not a good idea as there are no activities for them to do. the pools are small, the kids pool is tiny and over filled with people. The dining room has dimmed lighting and now we know why. My son was served raw chicken please look at your food well. We had food poisoning the second night. And suffered the rest of the trip, the waiter told us do not say anything they will lock you in your stateroom for 2 days...

Excellent value.........No Complaints.

Overall, it was an okay trip. I have heard much better things about other cruise lines. But our issue was money. We don't have the money for the more expensive lines, so we got what we paid for. I recommend it if you're on a budget.

Loved the staff all so friendly and worked hard...very clean and relaxing...food was wonderful!

This was my first cruise. My partner has severe arthritis and had great difficulty getting in and out of the pool using the ladder. Since it was our first, we weren't always sure what to do and this was awkward. By day 2, we felt more comfortable. The ship was very clean. A bit disappointed fine dining did not include better china or centerpieces. All workers were friendly and helpful. At the buffet, tables waited to be bussed for a very long time. Food averaged from good to excellent. Would have liked to see a sightseeing excursion offered at each port. My partner had difficulty walking a long way and a tour bus/van trip would have been interesting for us. We enjoyed shopping.

This was the first cruise for my wife and I, and all in all I am impressed. We wanted a chance to get away and just relax and this ship allowed us to do just that. When we wanted to party, we could hit up the dance club/bar with no challenges. It was truly the best of both worlds. If you are reading this and still not sure about booking don't think twice about it and do it NOW. In the end you'll be back here writing your own review just like mine :)
