I tried the CHEAPEST Carnival Cruise I could find: Here's What Happened: Carnival Paradise

Editorial Summary

The creator reviews a five night cruise aboard the Carnival Paradise, one of the oldest ships in the Carnival Cruise Lines fleet. After paying less than 100 dollars per day, the creator evaluates the ship's condition, amenities, and overall value. While noting the vessel feels like a time capsule from the late 90s, the creator finds it well maintained despite some aging wood on the pool deck. The ship is described as a smaller, more navigable experience compared to mega ships, making it suitable for shorter cruises. The creator details various onboard features including the pool deck, waterworks area, serenity area, and casino. Dining experiences are covered, highlighting the inclusion of staples like Blue Iguana Cantina and the Lido Marketplace, though the creator notes a lack of variety for longer trips. The review also includes excursions to Cozumel and Mahogany Bay, offering tips on avoiding crowds at the private beach. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while the ship lacks modern amenities and specialty dining, it offers good value for budget conscious travelers seeking a quieter cruise experience.
