Paradise is a masterpiece of modern technology and a tribute to the past. Many of her impressive rooms were named to honor such legendary liners as The Normandie and The Ile de France. Paradise is a destination unto herself: a floating resort that will amaze you with her size and decor. The main lobby of this magnificent ship is a six-story glass-domed atrium with an impressive circular bar and decorative glass elevators. It's the perfect place to meet for drinks, listen to music and people-watch.
Outside, you can enjoy tier after tier of sunny deck space, landscaped terraces with shaded cafe tables, and the fun of three pools (including a children's wading pool), six whirlpools and a spiral waterslide. You can also stop in at Spa Carnival for a quick state-of-the-art workout or a fabulous salon treatment, relax in the Blue Riband Library, or visit the Internet Cafe. Don't worry about the kids. They'll be living it up at the Camp Carnival program which offers supervised activities for kids ages 2 to 15. If you want to take a break from the sun, you can browse the shops at the Galleria Shopping Mall.
Carnival's Total Choice Dining gives you more flexibility as to where and when you dine, and whether you dress up or dress down. But whichever option you choose, you can expect fresh, delicious, superbly prepared soups, salads, entrees and diet-postponing desserts. To accommodate early and late diners, there are four sittings for dinner (two in each of the main restaurants). Whichever sitting you choose, your attentive servers will satisfy your every request. If you can't decide between the sizzling sirloin and the tempting seafood creation, have both. Casual dining is available indoors and outdoors at every meal in the laid-back Paris Restaurant where the selections include carving stations, ice cream and a 24-hour Pizzeria.
