Creator's Key Takeaways

This ship has a lot of kids on it. I can already see it's a lot of teenagers. It's a lot of children, little children.

If you don't want children, I can tell you now, don't come on the Carnival Paradise in the summer or where the kids first get out of school.

Carnival Paradise has all new slot machines in here. Some machines I've never seen or never played before.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Print your boarding passes at home or your hotel to avoid waiting in another line at the port.
Consider the timing of your cruise if you want to avoid a high concentration of children, especially during summer when school is out.
