Aplmac Posted October 26, 2021 This new livery on Carnival Paradise has really dressed up the old girl - as I thought it would, these older ships! 1 Link to comment

St Pete Cruiser Posted October 28, 2021 The Paradise has survived, unlike several of her older sisters. Not sure the new paint job helps. Link to comment

That expression "Lipstick on a pig" comes to mind. That Fantasy class is so hideous, especially with those ugly glued-on balcony additions. They should all be on the beach in India. Link to comment

Really glad to see this - and it bodes well for the future of the final build in this iconic yet now dwindling class of ships. It's always seemed obvious Elation and Paradise will be the last two sailing but after losing half of the class last year, you have to wonder how much beach sand is left in their hourglasses. Thanks for posting. Link to comment

While I can't call them my favorites, I love that these ships that now have something of a time capsule quality about them - between the general design features and the wacky decor - are still with us. There are plenty of larger and newer ships - as well as other cruise brands entirely - for those who disagree. Live and let live. Link to comment

bgrmini Posted October 31, 2021 The lack of new balconies on the aft promenade deck is excellent! Link to comment

Carnival's newer ships are beautiful, though. This one needs to be beached and cut up. Link to comment
toad455 Posted November 1, 2021 her & the Elation are 21 years old. Carnival's gonna hold on to these two for quite some time. Link to comment
