This is our 3rd Cruise. Did 4 day RC 12/97, Carnival Paradise, 7/03. We had 17 family in 5 cabins, inside-decks 6 and 7. Wonderful cruise for all the family, youngest is 8, oldest is 75. Carnival knows how to serve all ages, they are all about wonderful service from the 1st moment you step into the terminal. The staff makes you feel they are there to take care of your every need.

Rooms: Inside cabins with 2 adults/2 children. Yes, you are really there to only sleep but they are too too small. Try to get ready for dinner at the same time! Recommend get an outside cabin- more space and natural light!

Dining: Food always fresh and beautifully presented at the Mermaid Grill and Normandie. Really enjoyed the Mermaids dining options for buffet, such as salads, fruit, dessert, deli, &. Traffic is never bad and much variety. (Paradise had LONG buffet lines!) Normandie was exceptional, Highly recommend any of the beef and fish dishes, delicious. Desserts, especially soufflEs were prepared first rate. Brought are own wine on board,each adult hand-carried 2-3 wine bottles,never questioned. However, were charged each night a $10 corkage fee per bottle. Read more
