We do an annual girls trip and have a great gal in our group that literally planned this whole trip for us! We have to do a trip where we are contained (important - trust me) and usually do all inclusive resorts. While I am not big on many aspects of "cruising" I absolutely 110% recommend the Carnival Paradise Cruise and Crew. Every crew member we encountered more than once remembered our names. The activities were incredibly fun and creative. The food and the service was phenomenal. From the charming maitre d (Mustafa) to our 3 servers, Roma, Karl and Chester (Boogie), dinner was top notch! Our cruise director Cam has so much energy and is extremely creative. He handles the unbelievable sized crowds that are usually drunk, with patience and just rolls with the punches.
We were in one of the newer cabins on deck 14 and it was a perfect size for 2 people. Rooms were always very clean - thank you Ipung!
There are only 2 things I could say would need improvement and one just is what it is and that's the pool. It is way too small to accommodate that many people. The second thing is iced tea. I know they need to keep the bar tab up but there needs to be a non alcoholic option like iced tea that you can be served on the pool deck. They do have tea in the dining area in tiny plastic cups but when you're being served a drink every 10-15 minutes it can't just be alcohol and soda. Tea and water should be a must on the deck.
Excellent use of small space. Did not feel crammed even with 2 women in one room and all of our "STUFF" plenty of drawers, closet space and hangers.
