YouTube Video Description

Join me on the Carnival Paradise where the check in and boarding process didn't go as planned! Once we were through check in an onboard the ship we did some exploring as well as a cabin tour of our extended aft balcony! Check it out as I show you the amazing water works and the lido deck! The fun didn't stop there, we set sail for Cozumel Mexico, once we arrive we took a quick taxi ride over to Paradise Beach for some amazing views cold drinks and awesome food! This was a short 4 day cruise out of the port of Tampa and the perfect first cruise for my son who is already ready for his next one!
