Carnival Paradise

The best time of our lives!

It was Amazing! It was the first cruise for all of us and we had so much fun! We have always been terrified to go, but now will be our vacation every year! It was very affordable, and much cheaper than a normal vacation bc everything was right there on the boat. We didn’t have to drive a million places to get food and find things for the kids to do. The ride there was smooth. Coming back was a little ruff, but only bc there was a current storm, and 2 recent hurricanes the week before we went. It had EVERYTHING we needed to have a fantastic vacation! The food and entertainment was amazing . All the workers were wonderful! The kids loved Camp Ocean. They were begging to go Everyday. Camp Ocean and the Waterslides were their favorite. They stayed entertained the whole time. My husband and I loved the Casino and the shows! We already booked our next cruise the day we arrived back at port.

Microphone needed for yoga classes, speak up yoga

I enjoyed everything from the food to entertainment and the water slides, the only thing I would change is the yoga classes in the gym. The whole class couldn't hear the instructor he was whispering and had a heavy accent. I was afraid to take the Pilates class in fear I would run into the same issue. Maybe a microphone would help. Our servers at dinner were awesome, I'm allergic to shellfish and they made sure my menu was taken the day before. The casino was a blast, dress up night was fun for my whole family. I loved the towel animals my cabin attendant made every night. The all day buffet was great I especially loved the cookies, pizza, oatmeal strawberry ice cream. The burger joint was delicious. I did the scuba diving excursion it's beautiful under the water I strongly suggest trying it. Thanks carnival for another great cruise.

great time meeting new friends

Loved the people loved the entertainment I would definitely go on this ship again. There was a band that played every night that myself and the people I cruised with thought were awesome, I would come back just to watch the play. I can't remember their name but it was two women and two men. I wish I remember their name so I could follow them. Overall A great experience. I will definitely have to come back and invite more people to go with me I would also like to commend the wait staff they were very responsive in what we needed. We had a party of 10 and they were very accommodating,and i would like to thank the bar staff, as busy as they were they made sure to keep us happy, we really did not have to wait for drinks and if we had any questions we could go to guest services and they would give you an answer That you could be satisfied with. I will be back.

First time BLISS

We were thrilled by the first sight of the great old girl, the Paradise, a grand lady! For us, this was jaw-dropping decadence. Everything was so clean and well kept! Our cabin was small, but plenty roomy for us. The shower was hot and the water pressure was fantastic. Our Cabin Steward was Wahyu. He made us feel like we were the most important guests! Every little thing was paid attention to and we were asked repeatedly if there was more he could do. We had so much fun with Aaron from Zimbabwe! He made our safety talk interesting and later, joked with us every time he saw us. So kind and attentive! We also interacted with Innocent at the Guest Service desk. He treated us with respect, humor and a dazzling smile that just drew us in. Wonderful. Our food was some of the best in our lives and Guy's Burgers surely are the tastiest ever! We were just so impressed by the respect and care showed by the entire crew, including Uncle Johnny and OT. LOVED every minute of our days and nights onboard this ship. The linens in bed and bath were so fabulous, we came home to buy some. Thank you , Carnival Paradise Crew. This was our 1st cruise and our 1st vacation in over 30 years. I was so happy, I got chills and Happy tears! We were happy just to walk the ship and watch people and the Gulf. The port experiences were too much fun! Fish ate my feet, a must do again! The shopping was so much fun also. You people are just simply the best!
