Djptcp Posted February 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Wow - can't wait to cruise on her again. We have cruised on the Paradise 3 times in the past few months because we live 45 minutes from the Port of Tampa and in addition I get great casino rates, so very convenient. Will look forward to booking her again once she's out of dry dock and we return from our 7-day Miracle cruise out of Tampa at the end of March.

ray98 Posted February 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Looks promising for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted February 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2018 The best kept secret will be the size of the balconies in the new ocean/junior suite cabins they are adding (Grand deck 14 on Elation). And the new inside cabins on that deck will be larger and have a sofa. Fridges will be added to cabins and usb ports. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djptcp Posted February 27, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Just booked the Paradise for Jan. as surprise for DH's birthday. Booked one of the new Scenic Ocean View cabins on Deck 14 (Grand Deck). Had already booked a Junior Suite Obstructed, but decided to change it to the new SOV cabin and it was actually $180 cheaper and it looks to be a much larger cabin. No balcony, but the JSO cabins have tiny balconies anyway (have had them before), so I don't think we'll miss it since the SOV has a huge window that covers the entire side and no obstruction. There's only 1 left in this new category for the 1/24/19 sailing, so if you are interested I would grab it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark316 Posted February 28, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Refrigerators on deck 14 or all cabins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONYnDEB Posted February 28, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Sounds awesome! But too bad she's not getting Alchemy. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted February 28, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Refrigerators on deck 14 or all cabins? All cabins. We had a porthole cabin on the refurbished Elation. They removed the drawers under the desk and put the cabinet for the fridge there. Hairdryer in the drawer above the fridge. Hate losing those drawers.

Rare Essiesmom Posted February 28, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 28, 2018 USP ports in the cabins? That's fabulous! In our porthole cabin on elation there was a dual USB port at the desk, and another dual port on the wall on the porthole side of the bed. This cabin did not have any bedside lamps, still the lights on the wall at the head of the beds. In the new cabins on deck 14 the bedside lamps had USB ports (2) in each base, as well as the two at the desk. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
