Carnival Paradise

Burgers, burritos and a chef’s table on Carnival Paradise

Most of the eating on Carnival Paradise is included in the fare, and her casual venues set the tone. Guy’s Burger Joint serves flame-grilled burgers crafted by celebrity chef Guy Fieri, and the BlueIguana Cantina brings Mexican food in a lively cantina setting, so two of her best-loved casual meals cost nothing extra.

For a special occasion, The Chef’s Table is an intimate dinner built around the chef’s own creations, charged separately and booked in advance, so it is worth reserving early on a five- or six-night sailing.

Tampa round-trips to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean

Carnival Paradise sails five- and six-night round-trips from Tampa, Florida, alternating between the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean. Wherever you start from in Australia, we put the flights to Tampa, a hotel either side and the transfers on one booking with the cruise.

Her Caribbean sailings head for the Bahamas, departing in January, from June to August (the Australian winter), and in October and November, from A$346pp*. Ports vary, but Nassau, Celebration Key and Half Moon Cay are among the calls you might see. Late-year departures are in our Caribbean cruises for 2026.

The Western Caribbean round-trips run from November to February, which is the Australian summer, with further departures in May, from A$482pp*. Stops change between departures; typical calls include Cozumel in Mexico, Mahogany Bay on Roatán in Honduras, and Belize City.

Carnival places her in its Fantasy Class, which includes Carnival Elation; the rest of the fleet is on our Carnival Cruise Line page.

Kids’ clubs, WaterWorks and adults-only Serenity

Families are well looked after on Carnival Paradise, with included clubs for every age from toddlers to teens. Camp Ocean is the heart of it: children aged 2–11 join supervised, age-based groups for ocean-themed activities, which gives parents real time to themselves on sea days.

WaterWorks gives everyone room to swim and cool off, and adults can slip away to Serenity, an adults-only pool retreat away from the busier decks, included in the fare. It is the quiet counterweight to decks this busy with children.

Carnival Paradise cabins and deck plans

Carnival Paradise tops her range with suites, and with this many children’s clubs aboard, where you sleep matters as much as the cabin type. Her cabins and deck plans show every grade deck by deck, so a family can settle near the action and a couple can look further away.
