Carnival Paradise
About Carnival Paradise
The popular 70,367-ton, 2,052-guest Carnival Paradise was aptly named because that is what you will find on this Fantasy Class ship. She offers something for all age groups, making her a perfect choice for a fabulous multigenerational cruise vacation.
Greatly enhanced with a multi-million-dollar upgrade in 2015, she now features a variety of new dining, bar and entertainment options. You now can enjoy a Mexican eatery with delicious just-made burritos, tacos and tortillas, a full-service sushi restaurant with Asian-inspired favorites and a poolside venue with a California vibe for melt-in-your-mouth handcrafted burgers and fries.
A variety of bars with diverse themes include one with a Mexican theme serving frozen drinks, as well as beers, another with mixologists preparing unique cocktails and delicious Caribbean rums served at a different choice. Have a sweet at the onboard candy store that was also added to the ship.
The ship’s stunning centerpiece is a seven-deck-high atrium with a nautical décor. Stroll along the promenade and enjoy the many amenities offered, including two pools and whirlpools. Exhilarating turns will thrill you at the 214-foot twister waterslide — the fastest and steepest at sea — where you will also get sprayed. Carnival Paradise boasts 12 chic bars and lounges, a casino, disco, Internet café, library and a game room. Serenity awaits you at a peaceful adults-only retreat. The large spa offers an array of treatments that will make you feel like a million bucks. Take a yoga or Pilates class and work-out at the state-of-the-art fitness center. Shop for duty-free items and have a treat at the coffee bar. Play mini-golf and shoot some hoops at the large sports park. Be as active or inactive as you like — this is paradise after all.
Kids will love the summer camp feel at supervised youth activities that were designed according to age. Tweens and teens also have their own area where they can hang-out with friends, listen to music, dance and eat pizza. A video arcade is another popular place to go.
Take your tastebuds on an exciting culinary journey at a myriad of fabulous eateries offering plenty of dining options. Mouthwatering continental cuisine is served at the two main dining rooms, as well as healthy spa fare and delicious vegetarian dishes. A kids menu offers all their favorites, from spaghetti and meatballs to mac and cheese. A special multi-course dinner is a favorite experience for foodies and also includes a special galley tour.
Casual eateries include a buffet with food from all around the world, a venue for wok specialties, a rotisserie, a 24-hour pizzeria with delicious piping hot pizza, a rotisserie, a cafeteria-style café, coffee bar, a grill, a sushi bar and a New York-style deli. Complimentary room service is also available 24/7.
A range of accommodations include a high percentage of oceanview staterooms and those with private balconies. Some also boast floor-to-ceiling windows, providing incredible views. Feel like you are sleeping on a cloud on Carnival’s exclusive comfortable bed system. Relax and watch first-run movies on the flat-screen TV — You will never want to go home.
Entertainment includes Vegas-like productions at the two-story theater, as well as magicians, comedians, talent shows and more. Take part in a game show, try your luck at the casino, join in a sing-along at the piano bar, and dance the night away at the disco and chill-out at the relaxing jazz club.
Whether a first-time cruiser or just looking for a delightful fun ship, Carnival Paradise is for you.

Blue Iguana Cantina
Deck: 10 Lido
Nobody knows Mexican dining like a blue iguana. Well, our blue iguana, at least. That’s why it should come as no surprise that the BlueIguana Cantina features freshly made tacos and burritos stuffed specially for your enjoyment. Throw our homemade tortillas and salsa into the mix, and you have a casual dining experience that will make you say “mmmm” (which is actually Iguanese for “more, please”).
Guy's Joint Burger
Deck: 10 Lido
We went looking for someone to help us grill up the best burgers at sea, and we found just the guy. Carnival has teamed up with best-selling author, restaurateur and Food Network personality Guy Fieri to bring all the authentic appeal of a roadside burger shack to Guy’s Burger Joint, the cool poolside spot for hot burgers and hand-cut fries. Try a fresh-off-the-grill burger Guy’s way, or take it off-road to our toppings bar and truly make it your own.

Ah, imagine a perfect day out on the links, the golfer's zen of the ball, the hole and nothing in between but well-manicured fairway... plus one cactus, a treasure chest... and wait, is that a windmill in the way? Just who designed this course anyway? Whoever it was, they had one thing in mind — maximum fun for mini-golfers, big and small! That's precisely why you'll find a course on every Carnival ship, where you can hit the holes and take in everything you’d expect, like the sights and the sounds... plus the seagulls.

Beauty Salon
Deck: 12 Sports
A trip to the salon is an opportunity to relax, to chat with others, to focus on yourself. It’s about more than just getting your hair or nails done… but it’s definitely about getting your hair or nails done! Even though you’re on vacation, you won’t have to settle for anything less than the salon style you’re used to back on land. And these good looks go beyond the usual — we even offer services like teeth whitening… great for taking those ‘I’m on vacation and I’m looking great!’ smiles to the next level.
Fitness Center
Deck: 12 Sports
We have some bad news for you — your ship has a gym. In other words, there’s no excuse for leaving your fitness routine back on land. That’s great news, however, for your body, which will definitely benefit from all the extra energy that vacationing pumps directly into you. And let’s not forget the extra time you’ll have, since you won’t be waking up and spending most of the day at the office or anything like that. If those were some of your go-to excuses, we’re sorry, but we all know this is important. Why not treat yourself to some of our fitness classes — you might even have a little fun while you do something great for yourself!
Massage Rooms
Deck: 12 Sports
Cruising always feels good, but it doesn’t usually — ooh, right there. Right where? Sorry, we’re at the onboard spa, where they do these amazing massages by hand. But they don’t just stop there — they’ve got tools to enhance the benefits too. Select from different hands-on experiences featuring seaweed for detox, herbal poultice for energy, bamboo for deep tissue penetration and hot stones for — ahhh — for perfection. We know you’re all about feeling good, and so are these massages.

When it comes to complete relaxation from the inside out, nothing beats a trip to the spa. From the minute you step inside, the soothing ambiance begins to work its magic. Renew yourself with premium beauty and wellness therapies, like hot stone massages, aromatherapy or full-body wraps. This is your time to be spoiled, indulged and even beautified. Lie back, close your eyes, and feel the stress sail away as your body and mind experience total tranquility. (Oh yeah, and this feel-good stuff isn’t just for the ladies — dudes, there are plenty of treatments on our menu for you too.)
Camp Ocean
Deck: 12 Sports
The little ones can enjoy the best parts of summer camp, year-round aboard their Carnival cruise. At Camp Ocean kids will have a blast in supervised, age-based groups and give each a cool marine-life label: Penguins (2 to 5 years), Stingrays (6 to 8 years) and Sharks (9 to 11 years). Together with their group they’ll enjoy tons of fun-filled, age-appropriate activities like arts and crafts, songs, games, toys, dancing, movies and video games.

There’s a lineup of frozen concoctions, cocktails and margaritas served by the glass or by the pitcher, and even a special Mexican beer cocktail (yes, really). Where can you find this little slice of Mexican paradise? Next to the pool, of course. So stay cool and take in the bar’s vacation vibe while you kick back on your cruise – that’s what official bar mascot Blue the Iguana would tell you.
