Paradise - Mussels
Mel L.

Don't let this ship determine your opinions of Carnival. Nearing retirement, the Paradise is one of Carnivals oldest fleets. Her last renovation was back in 2012 and it shows. The great thing about cruising is once you're sailing away, you're officially on vacation! Paradise resides in Tampa among other small cruise ships. My voyage went to Nassau and Bimini, and was about a week long. I wouldn't recommend any longer than 6 days on the smaller ships. Pros: Good sushi. Funny comedians. Great cocktails. Serenity deck is Aft, offers adult only refuge, hot tubs and great views. Carnival is amazing about food allergies - gluten free was clearly labeled. It's Carnival, so it's a fun ship! Cons: Only one pool, congested interior with some obstructed theater views, nowhere to walk along the exterior. Fewer amenities, only one restaurant besides the included ones. Out of style. Would I sail her again? Not likely but I have zero regrets and loved the trip overall!

Don't bother. One of the oldest and smallest ships in Carnival's fleet and it shows. You're definitely not getting the same level of amenities and options that you get on bigger and newer ships. Everything seemed outdated. Food options were limited and not that great except for maybe the main dining room. The staff tries and are helpful but I get the sense they all wish they were on the newer ships. Entertainment options were limited. I've been on other ships and bingo was never a main entertainment option. Here it is lol Clothing shops are very limited also. Not to much to choose from. A lot of locals from the Tampa area on the cruise. The whole vibe seemed lame. The worst part though? Just one pool. It was total chaos. I saw some kids playing in the outdoor shower by the pool for like half an hour because the pool was so packed. The serenity "adult" area is not on a top level of the ship like on other ships. It's right below the buffet area. Nothing but 19 yrs old making out in the hot tub. Never again on this cruise ship that's for sure. Oh, and we can do without all your hosts having a lame British accent

This is the best entertainment they have if you planning to have fun please don't do it is the worse

Very nice 2 night stay at Palihouse after 3 nights in St Pete…read more Funky hotel with nice sized room and furnishings including rain shower along with an on site bar and restaurant for breakfast. Fantastic location in upscale neighborhood by Hyde Park Village, lots of nearby shops and restaurants within easy walking distance, a short 5 minute Uber ride to Bern's Steakhouse, and convenient Uber rides to downtown Tampa, Ybor City and the airport. Would definitely stay here again.

The best thing about Palihouse is its Hyde Park, Tampa, location. It's close to al the good…read morerestaurants, bars and entertainment venues of the city. What is not so good about it is that it doesn't have a restaurant. It does have a very good looking bar with an extremely limited snack menu; nothing one would like to make a meal of. On Swan is a nearby restaurant that will, however, meals to your room after 5pm. The rooms are very nice but when I was there it was very cold outside and the heating in my room wasn't very good. The service is exceptionally good, as is the valet service. Bar drinks are of a rather miserly pour and the bar menu is nothing to speak of. And, of course, the television in my room didn't work, Ugh!! Oh, and their kitchen oven is broken down too, so bar bites are limited. LOL! Would I stay here again?? No, too many unpleasant surprises.
