We are heading on a cruise in a couple weeks on the Paradise. Can any recent cruisers give an update on how they find things on this ship. She is one of my favorites but I haven't been on her in 3 years. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.

Just curious, Tampa cruising has a height limitation for a cruise ship due to the Skyway Bridge. When the current Paradise and Pride eventually retire (they are over 20 years old), what will Carnival bring to Tampa? Has Carnival ever said anything? Tampa is one of my favorite ports. It will be sad if they stop cruising out of here.

So I booked a cruise that offered me $500 on board credit. I know that daily gratuities will come out of this but was wondering if I can use any of this in the casino and if so how? Anybody do this?

My vaccine card and drivers license name are the same. My passport is slightly different (John vs Johnnie).. Am I in trouble?

With all the restrictions lifted do you still use VeriFLY and why?

Going on the Paradise next month and have your time dining. In the past all we did was go up to the hostess stand to get seated. I think I've heard that this process has changed. Can someone that has done this recently explain.

I just found a cruise on the Paradise that offered me a "to be assigned ocean view handicap". I know for a fact that there are no fully accessible handicap ocean view cabins on this ship. I'm suspecting that I will be assigned at least a balcony as I do see some of those available. My wife is in a wheelchair so I need a fully accessible. I put a courtesy hold on it and will call my PVP tomorrow. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I'm sure this has been asked before but I didn't want to review so many messages....I have a cruise credit for an upcoming cruise. Can this be used to pay the gratuities or use in the casino, or is it only good for shopping and drinks?
