Paradise - First Cruise After Dry Dock

Looking at the Paradise itineraries on Carnival's website, it looks like the first post-dry dock cruise is March 31st. Is that correct? Just wondering when I can expect to start seeing feedback about the changes made in dry dock. Just booked Paradise for next April! Excited that she's getting Guy's/Blue Iguana/Red Frog Bar and waterpark. But ready to hear first hand feedback!

It's actually this coming Monday the 26th. We're booked on her leaving that day. We're staying with family for a week after the cruise so I'll try to post some information about it when we have down time. I've never been on her before or any Carnival cruise for that matter so my observations may be a little different than others. :)

Awesome! Hope you have a great time and I look forward to hearing about your observations and impressions! It's been a LONG time since I've been on a Fantasy class ship and I'm looking forward to it. It will definitely take me back to my earlier cruising days!

We are also on the March 26th cruise. Will try and upload pics!!

Awesome, thanks! Have FUN!

First cruise post dry dock is not a desirable cruise you want to be on... But any cruise is better than no cruise!

Looking forward to pictures and reviews. I hope to be on her next month.

Can't wait to hear some updates and see some pics! Hope everyone is having a fun time!!!!

Looking forward to being on her in a little more than two weeks. We were on the Elation right after her big dry dock and had a blast, so we expect more of the same! :D

We are sailing on her May 26th. We have a junior suite and a scenic ocean view booked on the new deck. Also excited to hearing about the upgrades!

I’m from Tampa but have only sailed out of Port Canaveral. June 9, 2012 on the Ecstacy, Feb 18, 2018 on the Sunshine.

Excited to sail the Paradise out of Tampa in October of 2019!

Ohhh yay that means another review!!

You can count on it! :D

Thinking of booking the 11/10 cruise on Paradise. Looking forward to seeing what you think. Have never been on a small ship like this. Excited to see the new upgrades.

Your Captains Club and you will have to figure out where because we are not allowed to mention here.

So excited.....first time in a Suite!

Nice! Did you get one of the newly added suites on the grand deck? I was looking at those, but the balcony was smaller than a standard.
