About Carnival Cruise Lines

The Carnival Corporation is the largest cruise company in the world and operates several different brands. The cruise line ‘Carnival Cruise Lines’ has the largest fleet in the group with 24 vessels. The fleet sails almost exclusively in the seas of North America and the Caribbean. For Carnival Cruise Lines the guest's experience of the ships is at least as important as the visited destinations. The concept is comparable to a club holiday and convinces an active, mostly younger audience. The ships offer a colorful world of experience including high-quality food, award-winning entertainment and excellent child and youth care. On board you will find mostly Americans.

The Ship

The Carnival Paradise is sailing for Carnival Cruises since 1998 and is a Fantasy Class ship. It has been heavily refurbished in 2015 to meet Carnival's Fun Ship 2.0 standard. The ship has a length of almost 260 meters, accommodating up to 2,052 passengers. The Carnival Paradise usually sails short routes in the Caribbean.

Atmosphere on board

Carnival Cruise Lines calls their vessels fun ships and yes: it is very difficult not to be entertained on board. But this does not mean that passengers will feel disturbed by wildly partying people all day. There is enough room to relax and enjoy some quietness. The dress-code reflects this concept: casual attire is perfect for almost any situation. Only for dinner in the main restaurants a more elegant style is recommended. There are even one or two festive evenings, where evening dress is required, but you may easily escape this when not dining in the à la carte restaurants. Though guests come from all over the world, usually most people on board are US citizens.

Staterooms

The design of all staterooms is up to date and comfortable. You will find all amenities you would expect from a good hotel room. With about 17 m² all staterooms are very spacious. If you prefer even more private space Junior Suites provide about 20.5 m² and the Grand Suites even 30 m².

Food and Beverages

Explore the world's different cuisines in the numerous restaurants or enjoy the daily multi-course dinners in the main à la card restaurants. Here you may choose between early, late and open seating. If you prefer it more casually how about a pizza or a burger? Of course you might also try out the 24/7 room-service. Carnival Cruise Lines caters for every taste.

Entertainment, Sports and Relaxation

As Carnival Cruise Lines calls them fun ships you can be sure that you will be entertained very well. Take part at Hasbro, the Game Show, enjoy freshly mixed cocktails in one of the lounges, have a laugh in the Punchliner Comedy, or dance the night away to live music - Expect it all and get it all. Additionally exciting games, clubs and the water park offers some fun for kids and teens.

Of course the Carnival Paradise also offers many ways to relax, such as the spa area where a wide choice of treatments is offered. For those who feel the urge to move the fitness area and sporting facilities are great choices.

Our summary

The great cuisine, diversified entertainment options as well as the appealing and modern interior make the Carnival Paradise a destination in itself. This ship demonstrates impressively what is possible on cruise ships nowadays.
