My girlfriend and I booked this cruise with 6 other couples. I have been on a few other cruises (Carnival Sensation and Celebrity Infinity), but this was the first for my girlfriend. The price was only about $300 pp, so I personally wasn't expecting much. Especially since the Paradise is not one of the newer ships out there.

Anyway, Embarkation was so fast! We got to the ship at about 3pm and we were parked and on the ship within about 30 minutes! I remember this process as a nightmare on my past cruises. We hand carried our bags onto the ship and went immediately to our room to drop them off. The room was clean and more spacious than I had expected. We didn't stick around too long because we were off to the Lido deck to meet our friends and start the party!

The safety briefing was easy as we didn't have to bring our life vests with us. We met in the Rex Disco, heard the briefing and then were led to the outside deck to see where our lifeboat was located. This only took about 30 minutes and then we were off to party again.

Spacious bathroom, comfortable bed, big window, slightly loud from being located near the elevators.
