This was our 3rd cruise. 4th with Carnival. We booked it Christmas Day as a Xmas present for us after receiving our Green Cards Christmas Eve. My friend is TA in Canada and booked with her.

We arrived at the port just after 1030. We were told boarding would be around 1120. Which is fine with us we would rather arrive early and be one of the first onboard and start the Cruise experience early! Boarding started early and we were on the lido deck by 1120!! I sat down and wife went to get lunch right away. When we first boarded we were only 5th in line for the deli, but the deli team member seemed extremely overwhelmed and when the F&B manager walked over and asked if he needed help he said no. It still did not take more then 5 mins for our sandwiches which were wonderful.

Now we have sailed on the Legend and the Glory. My wife thought the Paradise was a little dated, I didnt think so. But also I knew after the next sailing she was going into Dry Dock. Read more
