I am so glad I found your post!!! We will be cruising on the Paradise in October!! So fun to see your pics!! This will be my husbands first cruise, and my second (my first was on the Carnivale 30 years ago!!!) we are going on a short cruise and hopefully my hubby will love it so we can go on many more!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

A little after 11am we were allowed to board the ship. There was no distinction between Diamond, Platinum, or Faster to the Fun. We are finally aboard the Carnival Paradise…..

So does this mean It makes no difference if I purchase Faster to the Fun???

At some embarkation ports they are good at keeping Diamonds, Platinums, and FTTF separated so that when boarding begins they board in that order. In Tampa all Priority passengers wait in the same area regardless of status, so that when boarding begins it is possible that someone with FTTF could board before someone who is Diamond even if they arrived at the same time. Hope that clears that up for you. :cool:

We are enjoying your review Jamman54. We are Sailing the Paradise Sep.10th, Our first Fantasy class ship. We are being crazy and sailing the Miracle Sep.16th the day after we get off Paradise. Our favorite ship is the Pride so I am sure we will enjoy Miracle.
