Carnival Paradise Review

Additional details
We chose this cruise because it was short, and only a 2 hour drive from our home. We had an easy commute. On Southern California freeways, this was a pleasant surprise.
We arrived early so we could get a parking space in the parking structure --$15.00 per day. We booked a verandah suite which allowed us VIP priviledges, so we waited in the VIP lounge. We didn't have to wait long and were actually the first to board, right after the two wedding parties.
Cabins were not ready, so we went to Lido (buffet) for lunch. Afterwards, we looked around and took pictures before the ship got crowded. AND IT WAS CROWDED !
Cabin Review
We were in cabin V21, which was unobstructed. However, the next one was obstructed by a small lifeboat, and the nose of it somewhat impeded our view. We would stay here again though. This was a good location as far as noise level.
This is a starboard side cabin. Docking in Ensenada is on the port side, so in the future we will book portside. That is where the view is.
Verandah cabins are fairly spacious. No tub, but adequately sized shower. Lots of storage.
