Greetings,

 

I just wanted to share the link for my Paradise review with you all.

We had a really good time. I didn't write it immediately...I guess I felt that once I wrote it my vacation would officially be over:( ! Anyway, I went through a week of post cruise depression:o , however I am doing much better:D . I am currently focusing on my November anniversay cruise so that should keep me busy.

I hope you enjoy my FIRST review ever and I am more than happy to answer any questions.

Thank you so much for that wonderful review Cruise Beauty.

 

I was on the Paradise in 2001 and it was non-smoking then.

 

My Mother will be on in September, so I'll relay this info to her.

I hope you enjoy my FIRST review ever and I am more than happy to answer any questions.

I enjoyed reading your review...thanks for posting. I'll be on the Paradise in October and I've been trying to find any info I can before my cruise.

 

I have a few questions:

*Did you happen to keep the capers? If so will you be posting them?

*How was the live music onboard? Particularly the classical trio (which is usually in the lobby) and the lido band (I love sitting outside listening to live music).

*If you have your capers and are unable to post them, would you mind listing the names of the various musical entertainment (bands, DJ's, etc.)? Just curious as to whether or not some of the entertainment I've enjoyed in the past are on this ship.

 

Thanks again for posting your review.:)

Is the band Blood Power on the ship?

The timing of your review couldn't be better, since I'm leaving on Monday for my own adventure on the Paradise. I've never sailed with Carnival before so it's very reassuring to read of your positive experience with this cruise line. Thank you for taking the time to post! :)

[Cruise Beauty]

Moondawgie: You are more than welcome. I really didn't notice too many smokers. I hope your Mom has a good time. We went in with really positive attitudes and wonderful energy.

 

Letscruisegd: Yes I did keep the Capers, but somehow they've been ruined by some sort of spill:eek: . So, no I will not be posting them. The live music wasn't bad. I found myself very relaxed when listening to the music on deck.

Courtesy of the Carnival Capers:

Calypso Music with Innocence on the Lido deck

Classical music with the Classical trio

Beautiful Piano Music with Luigi

Fun Tunes with Lloyd

Fun Party music with Blood Power

The DJ in the Rex Dance Club wasn't good at all.

I hope this helps.

 

Billsrob: Yes, Blood Power is on the ship.

 

Luv2cruise777l: You are more than welcome;) !

 

Cruisetrio: You are more than welcome. NYE onboard Paradise sounds like fun:p !

 

PayD: Thanks for taking a moment to read it. You are more than welcome!

 

SeaMeSmile: I'm glad I could provide some reassurance for you. We really had a wonderful time. :D You are moe than welcome.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. Listening to music on deck is very relaxing for me too. I've heard so many positive things about Blood Power, hopefully they'll still be on there in when I board so I'll finally get the chance to hear them.

 

Thanks again:)

Thanks for replying to my question. I heard Blood Power on the Conquest last September and they were great.

Thanks! You wre off the ship in about 15 minutes? What time did you get in line? Did you do self assist? It's always taken us at least an hour to get off the Paradise so any tips would be great.

[Cruise Beauty]

We were in no rush due to the fact that we were driving back. We headed to the appropriate deck (self-assist)...I can't recall the time:o ...there was no line and we walked right off. There was one person in front of us ( where they check your passport and collect that blue slip of paper). It was a breeze.:D
