Rod...............thanks very much for posting the entire menus :) !

We like talking directly with our PVP at Carnival. I like to have control over our booking by speaking one on one with Carnival in case anything comes up.

You are welcome. I have the rest of the "Bar" and "Red Frog Pub" menus and can post them if there is interest.

Thanks............ if you could post them. Like to see what is available so this helps a bunch!

Anyone know when they are suppose to run cheaper deposit sale.. such as $50, $99 or half price deposits? Thanks in advance

Not sure about the future but Carnival just had a half price deposit sale the last week or so in June. Hopefully another will show up soon! Looking for free upgrades too like they had a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for sharing!

Another vote for the Radisson. Try to eat at Fishlips at Port Canaveral, we loved the food there!

Per John Healds FB page earlier this morning:

 

The sounds of the Caribbean are back and I thank the beards so much for listening to me and you and returning this live music to the Lido. We currently have brilliant Caribbean music on the:

Carnival Breeze

Carnival Conquest

Carnival Ecstasy

Carnival Pride

In August we will add the Carnival Liberty, in September the Carnival Dream and by early next year most of the ships will have a Caribbean duos playing the music that truly sets the scene.

We saw that this morning too. Live music is coming back!

We are happy that the live music is back!

Thanks for posting the beer menu!

We are still waiting for the excursions for Martinique and Tobago since nothing has shown up yet. Sunshine cruise is 7 months away so we still have plenty of time.

On cruise just now it changed from buy one get two to buy one get second one for 1$

Still a good deal. Of course preferred the BOGO deals.

BOGO It was a great way to stock the refrigerator with beer. :)

Totally agree..........exactly what we did :) .

Will be great to have a new Cruise Atlas.

The waitstaff will go as fast/slow as you want. :)

We have found that to be true :) .

We usually have to ask our cabin steward for our robes too.

On the Regal Princess our dinner took 45 minutes to 1 hour max for a table for two.

It's common to request a wait team if you have one you like. I usually find a team I like the second or third night and request that the remainder of our trip.

Same thing we do, once we find a wait team we like, we ask for that section/wait team each night. We may have to wait but that is ok with us to have a great wait team each night.

Will be nice if it goes on sale again, so we will keep checking the Fun Shops for any change in price.

Hopefully the live Caribbean music will return soon to all ships.

I would pick Valor since you have not visited any of the Ports plus being an eight day cruise. Another factor is the ship depending if you want the 2.0 upgrades or not. Whichever cruise you choose, have a great time!

I would say no thank you to that amount. Spend that money on other things.

Awesome pictures, thanks for sharing.

We always give extra cash. The crew cabins are smaller than what we cruisers stay in.

I hope everyone gets confirmation to this. I also drink Diet Mountain Dew and for our Sunshine 13 day cruise, a 12 pack won't be enough since the other 12 pack would be a different type for her. Even with rationing the Dew, 12 cans won't be enough for 13 days being I do at least 2 Dews a day.

Hope this gets sorted out either way so we all know :) .

Thanks for taking time for this excellent review! Enjoying it & your pictures too :) .

Thanks for taking the time to review the Paradise. We have cruised on her in 2013 & 2014. Had an awesome time during each cruise. Steve Cassel was our CD and he was very interactive/outgoing with everyone on board. Paradise will be our short cruise getaway when we want to cruise even though we prefer longer cruises.
