I will start by saying the staff was nice. But... Our room smelled like sewage and arm pits. The food was disgusting every night. There were no activities. This ship is old and very out dated. We had a family of five. Our king bed was two twin beds unevenly put together. Our children beds were in the wall, it took over 2 hours for someone to come and assist with pulling them out. I have cruised ...

We took the nude cruise, and it was the first cruise of any kind we had ever taken. I’m very active in the nudist community, and meeting so many of the people I had previously spoken to only online was amazing. Bare Necessities Tour and Travel chartered the cruise and did an amazing job. We were going to do just this one cruise, but we wound up signing up for next year’s Big Nude Boat. As far as ...

We are Platinum status with Carnival, so we've sailed with them frequently. This cruise was the worst of any -- Carnival or other cruiselines -- that we've ever been on. The ship was SO CROWDED!! The two hot tubs on Lido deck were always completely full; I counted 17 people in one hot tub!! And the music on the Lido deck was so loud you could feel the vibrations. WHY do they think people want ...

Many reasons, primary serviced in general. Room smells like urine after they cleaning the third time they came and cleaned the ducts this should be done prior our arrival,since our room smells like feces after. only 2 elevators were working for 3,000 people ,had to wait over 20 minutes each times and always super pack.Kids club was a mess people was complaining too that so many kids and no ...

Me and my wife took this cruise to celebrate our anniversary and the dates worked out great for our schedules. This is our third trip on a Carnival ship and enjoyed our prior trips. We were actually a little disappointed on this one. Staff: The staff was kind and friendly with the both of us. Grace in the Red Frog Pub was friendly and met you with a smile. No issues with any of the staff ...

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 ...

Please don't get me wrong, I LOVE CARNIVAL CRUISES however, this was the worst one I was ever on.. Where do I begin? This is the smallest ship in the fleet and I brought 10 people on this cruise. We had What they called a junior suite. Junior was not the word for it.. Cabin is no more than a crew cabin with a balcony view. it was tight, tiny and I would never call this a suite of any sort. ...

Honestly, I chose this cruise for the price and convenience… Tampa is our favorite port to cruise from, close to home, covered parking garage across the street from the port. I booked an inside cabin on the 12th deck about five months ago, after I sent full payment, I read about 30 awful reviews about the ship… I was so disappointed that so many people had such a bad experience… and I was really ...

It is always good to be a sea. Here are a few things I wish I knew on this cruise. PARKING. Its been a few years (and maybe 40 cruises ago) we sailed out of Tampa. Thankfully we were close enough to drive. Frankly it is a bit confusing because the lots near the ship are not ship parking, they are for the aquarium. Do not attempt to park near the ship. The ship parking is a 4 story ...
