OK Cruise but be aware of old ship, mediocre food and service

Additional details
Carnival Paradise is OK but it seriously needs some updating. Rust is visible from the balcony doors to hull of the boat. Pipes are bursting and causing leaks which makes you uneasy and keeps you wondering what may go wrong. The plumbing is loud, without ear plugs hard to sleep. The plastic around the windows is peeling off.
The balconies have a huge opening which could be life threatening for a toddler. When we asked for a safety net, no one returned our call.
The room service menu is simply made of sandwiches.
Cabin Review
Cabins were old, dated, and actually not spotless - contrary to what I had seen before in Holland America Noordam. But, our room and my parents room had connecting door. So, we had lots of space that made it a great accommodation considering that we had an extra suitcase of just in case medical supplies. Cabin was noisy. Plumbing and a constant rattling sound. Also peeling off the plastic in windows. No child safety locks on doors. No glass panel in the balcony - a gap is large enough for a toddler to easily fall off. Water extremely hot. It could cause burns. Be careful. Not very child friendly rooms. Many sharp edges.Beds, OK. Nothing extremely comfortable.Average - nothing that wows you. But practical, spacious.
