Our experience on the Carnival Paradise ship was great. We loved the staff, food and accomodations. Everything met our expectations. Very much enjoyed the schedule - having just enough time in port and at sea to relax and enjoy the sights. Can't wait to go again.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Terrific Four Day Cruise by June K from Detroit, MI Sailing date: Jan 2013 Pros: The ship is beautiful. The staff on the ship are terrific. The excursion was a blast. Cons: The staterooms need an upgrade. The Normandy has very poor seating design. There are many seats in which you cannot see the stage. The ship is beautifu. The staterooms need a make over. The seating in the Normandy is not very good. There are many seats that you cannot see the stage, Ship Details: Ship Quality The signage is good. It was easy to navigate on the ship, The ship was ver yclean. The staterooms need a makeover. They are as nice as on the newer ships, however that is reflective in the price of the cruise. Dining/Food The food was great. The Dining room staff was excellent. They entertained every night which was great fun. Stateroom Quality Our room was very clean and everything was fine with the stateroom. Ship Staff Quality THe staff was extremely friendly. Everyone on the ship said hello to us. Our cabin steward, our wait staff, and our drink waiter all learned our names ver yearly and always addressed us that way. Entertainment & Activities The shows were great. The dancers and tireless and gave off great energy. The comedy shows were great however ,the Queen Mary is not big enough and many guests stood and compleltely blocked our view of the stage. Other accomodations should be made for the guests that do not have seating. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food I was not impressed with the lobster or prime rib but it would be very hard to fix that meal for so many.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview Trip great food service bad by A Traveler from Lakeland florida Sailing date: Dec 2012 Pros: Being on the waters Cons: Food services around We recently took a cruise on the Parades ship. The room service was great. THe person that services us was great. The dining room experience was bad. The lines were long even through we had a seating assignment. It took a long time to get served. We decided to have brakfast, not seating requirement and the seating was horrible. The organization need to review the whole food situation. THis made our trip a very unhappy one. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food This was an overwhelming meal time. Thr crowds were large and the servers were slow. It tokk overtwo hours to get our completed meals Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Oceanview Not that impressed with Carnival by Jeri S from New Jersey Sailing date: Dec 2012 Pros: The ship was nice and not very crowded. Lked the ports, especially Cozumel. Cons: The food wasn't great, the entertainment could have been better. The cruise ship and Cabin were fine. However, the food is better on other ships I've been on, especially the dinners. The lobster tails were great but after that, the dinners went downhill. Also, the shows could have been better, one night was just 4 passengers entertaining us. And I didn't like the cruise director, he was very annoying. My 15 year old daughter enjoyed Club O2. We had a nice time in the two ports.

Plenty of Fun things to do, great comedy shows. Quiet time available on Serenity Deck. Very relaxing. Ship Details: Ship Quality very clean, everything worked properly. Beds & pillows super comfortable. Dining/Food we only ate at the "Buffet", as I don't care for the main dining room experience on Any ship. Seemed the buffet closed early for dinner. Very limited choices after 7:30 pm, pizza and ice cream. No burgers or fries Stateroom Quality room steward was Excellent! room always tidy, there was enough closet space and plenty of hangars. Ship Staff Quality Smiles everywhere! Entertainment & Activities Always something going on somewhere, comedy shows, etc. Fun!! Fun!! 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview Best way to celebrate anniversary! by Erma S. from Riverview, FL Sailing date: Sep 2012 Pros: Always something to do Cons: no acknowledgement of anniversary by staff/crew 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. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food The food was just okay. The presentation and variety of options was great. The quality of the food was just okay. Stateroom Quality A sign in the lavatory said if you want to reuse towels, please hang on rack. We NEVER left towels on the floor yet received fresh towels twice a day. What a waste! The bed was so comfortable and the room was very clean and perfectly located. Ship Staff Quality I'll give a high rating because the steward and one of the bartenders was excellent. We had a problem with our safe and got poor treatment from the staff on that issue. I did not appreciate their attitude with THEIR faulty safe. Entertainment & Activities Loved all the activities! 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?
