Carnival Paradise

There are two main dining rooms aboard Carnival Paradise: “Destiny” and “Elation”. For a casual place to eat, opt for the “Lido Café” – come evening time, it transforms into the “Seaview Bistro”, providing a casual option (dress down) when it comes to dinner. If you like Sushi, be sure to stop by at the “Sushi Bar” on the Promenade deck. You can find all the best Asian flavours at “Mongolian Wok” or you can even opt for an Italian pizza at the 24-hour “Pizzeria”.

No matter how many people are in your family and what your preferences may be, there is plenty of choice when it comes to selecting the right stateroom to suit your party. Whether it’s inside, outside, offering a sea view or it’s even got its very own balcony, the staterooms on-board this ship are no less than perfect. Just some of the features to be expected include single beds that can convert to doubles, spacious bathroom with shower, television and writing desks.

When it comes to fun in the sun you can go for a dip in one of the three swimming pools, one of which is a children’s pool, or simply unwind in one of her six whirlpools. Enjoy a game of golf at “Sports City Park” with 9-holes to putt around, or even go for a jog on the running track which circles around the golf course. Hit the gym for an invigorating work out as it offers free weights and fitness machines, and you can even take part in classes including Pilates and Yoga. If playing video games is more your thing, be sure to go to the ships video arcade, it’s equipped with the latest high tech video and arcade games. It’s a favourite feature with most ages. And for those who love to shop, head to the shops on Atlantic deck - you can purchase anything from fine jewellery to ‘fun ship’ souvenirs here.

Carnival Paradise´s “Normandie Show Lounge” seats 1,010 and is the place to go to see world-class production shows and cabaret acts. Featuring a revolving turntable, orchestra pit and a recessed speaker system, they put on quite a show here. As well as the main show lounge, you can have a sing-a-long in the “American Bar”; dance the night away in the “Leonardo Lounge”; or try your hand at poker, craps or roulette in the “Majestic Casino”. There’s something to suit all tastes on-board.

Why not treat yourself to a host of pampering in the “Cloud 9 Spa”? It is your holiday after all. Pick from massages and plenty of treatments, or simply head to the “Serenity Adults-Only Retreat” for a break away from all the youngsters on-board. The library is always on hand to offer plenty of books of all genres, in case you fancied a read whilst you are sailing.

The kids club doesn’t get any better than on a Carnival ship. Divided into different age groups, your little ones could be having as much fun as you are, with their new found friends. ‘Camp Carnival’ is for 2-11 year olds, ‘Circle C’ is for 12-14 year olds and ‘Club O2’ is for the 15-17 year olds to hang out. Tournaments, games, activities, arts and crafts and parties are just a few of the exciting things that they could be enjoying on-board this incredible ship.
