About the Carnival Paradise

Carnival Paradise


 

Carnival Paradise is proof that there's plenty of fun to be found long before you reach your dream destination.


While we’ve never stopped adding the latest and greatest features to the ship, this ship remains classic Carnival — fun-packed from bow to stern. With so much of it indoors, outdoors and everywhere in between, Carnival Paradise features great times in and near the water courtesy of hot tubs, pools and a WaterWorks waterpark featuring a giant spiraling slide and dual racing slides. For those who appreciate a good story, there’s Seuss at Sea with an interactive storytime and parade!


On the food front, aboard this ship there’s two of our top casual spots: Guy’s Burger Joint, featuring the goods from Guy Fieri, and BlueIguana Cantina, with authentic south-of-the-border taco/burrito goodness. Refreshments — and good times — abound with RedFrog Rum Bar and BlueIguana Tequila Bar. And a little closer to home (well, your vacation home), Carnival Paradise now features even more staterooms with a balcony. Feel that breeze!


Spend a vacation aboard Carnival Paradise, and you’ll find a little slice of cruise ship paradise at sea.

Before you Cruise to Cuba

What You Need to Know BEFORE Cruising to Cuba


Cruising to Cuba is a little different than visiting other island destinations on a cruise. Havana is unique, and the difference is about more than just the history or politics of the place. There are extra U.S. government requirements that need to be met when cruising to Cuba. The good news: Carnival has worked hard to make the process as easy for you as possible.


  • There are special requirements when visiting Cuba
  • You definitely need a passport to visit Cuba.  *Your U.S. passport must be valid thru April 2020.
  • You also need a Visa.  No worries.  *Busy Bee Travel Group will assist you with obtaining your visa.
  • "People to people" programs are a great way to see Cuba.  The easiest way to comply with this requirement is to participate in a Cuban activity or excursion.  *Options will be presented to the Group leader and Attendees
  • You can buy stuff in Cuba
  • Medical facilities are reputable and easily accessible
  • Prepare to use cash
  • Don’t count on cell phones or internet access
