Creator's Key Takeaways

We cruised on one of Carnival's oldest cruise ships. Yeah, the Carnival Paradise.

It was a 5-day sailing out of Tampa with stops in Grand Cayman and in Cosml, Mexico.

The experience about getting on that ship was super easy.

They loved it from the live entertainment just to the you know different food venues from the whole cruise experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do the valet parking if the cost is right.
For first-time cruisers, consider a short cruise to avoid seasickness concerns.
