Carnival Paradise Review
Rating by category
Additional details
I will start off by saying Carnival is probably our least favorite cruise line. This being said, there always has to be a best and worst cruise. But the worst cruise is still better than being at work. I would have to rate this cruise as one of our two worst cruises. We are 48 & 43 and been on 15 plus cruises.
We have never left from the Tampa port and it is VERY different from Miami or Ft. Lauderdale.
Getting to the port and getting on the ship was typical. Lines were not bad and we were in our room in less than 30 minutes from reaching the Carnival port building.
Cabin Review
Ocean View
R57
Cabin size is nice, but horrible set up and such.
1. Suitcases won't fit under the bed
2. NO hairdryers (they don't mention this)
3. Life jackets not in upper closet as normal but in a big wooden box thing in the corner that blocks access to one side of the bed.
4. TV is still a tube and takes up LOTS of space with questionable service
5. Our room had a locker room smell to it.
6. Bathroom was nice and shower was great. Toilet did not flush the best though.
7. Only ONE electrical outlet for the whole room.
8. No thermostat in room. On and off dial in the ceiling for COLD air only and this ship was kept COLD.
