Is the Carnival Paradise a good ship?

I'm going on the Carnival Paradise next week and I just want your thoughts on it






Answer :
It is a very nice ship for being older (1998) and the food is pretty good. It is no longer a non smoking ship although the smoking is limited to a few places. If you have time, check out www.cruisecritic.com They have a ship review, member reviews and there is a board where you can talk to people going on the same cruise as you. Enjoy!






Answer :
Yes, it is a great ship. We cruised from Miami to the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico on it a few years ago. The Paradise is the ONLY non-smoking cruise ship, and Carnival was told it would never work, but the Paradise is constantly full. We loved it, and you can tell the difference between this ship and ships that allow smoking.

Carnival goes out of its way to make sure their guests have a great time. Enjoy your cruise; I wish we were cruising again this summer.






Answer :
We were on this liner November last year and we had fun. The food was great. The service was excellent when we had dinner in the formal dining room. The staff is great. Don't hesitate to tip the persons who made your trip worthwhile. Still don't understand why the maitre'd gets a separate tip when all I saw him do was stand in front of the entrance and welcome the diners. I guess privilege really comes with rank. Anyhow, we made sure our regular waiters got something extra from us , more than what we gave the maitre'd. After all they were the ones who really made our trip enjoyable with their excellent service.






Answer :
Although an older ship, has alot to offer. Food is excellent and entertainment is unbeatable. You will have a great time, trust me.
