The final Fantasy class ship ever created, Carnival Paradise is proof that not only is there something in a name, but there's also fun to be found in the ship itself.
This ship is classic Carnival — fun packed from bow to stern, featuring spaces that amaze, amuse and entertain. Fun indoors, outdoors and everywhere in between, Carnival Paradise features great times in and near the water courtesy of hot tubs, pools and a Twister Waterslide. There’s even tasty fare from the sea, compliments of The Taste Bar. And for those who appreciate a good story, there’s Seuss at Sea. They know you’ll love the interactive storytime and a parade — both featuring Dr. Seuss characters you know and love.
Spend a vacation aboard Carnival Paradise, and you’ll find a little slice of paradise at sea.
