The wifey and I just got off of the Paradise today. I'm not a big poster, but let me see if I can figure this out.

We were at the terminal by 11 and on the ship by 12. There was a line for checking in, but they moved extrememly quickly. We had lunch on the Lido deck with no issues. Wifey got a sandwich and didn't wait very long at all. I had your regular buffet fair and found it to be good. The did have typical American food at the buffet by the pool as well as a Mongolian Grill that we never did try. The lines overall moved quickly for us throughout the entire cruise. Our cabin was ready by 1:30 and we went to R173. Starboard side oceanview with the square window and not a porthole. The two twin beds were pushed together to make a king. The bed was made up with a king sheet and comforter and I never really noticed it was two separate beds pushed together. We were off to our muster drill at the REX and after the safety briefing, were all lined up and taken outside to our lifeboat. We finally set sail and got our first drink of the day. It got very rocky once we passed the Skyway bridge, to the point where some people couldn't hold down their food. We made our nightly 20 donation to the casino and headed to the buffet for dinner. Since I wasn't feeling too well, the wifey ordered pizza and there were a couple people there, and we were told 7 minutes. The pizza came out great and we had no issues with waiting 7 minutes. Later on that night, I ordered room service and had pastrami, ceasar salad, and some good cheesecake. Read more
