Is This Old Carnival Ship Actually Worth Booking?

After 26 cruises across 5 cruise lines, I finally sailed one of Carnival’s smallest (and most nostalgic) ships — Carnival Paradise — and I’m giving you my full, honest review. On this 5-day cruise from Tampa, we visited Nassau, Bahamas and Carnival’s brand new private destination Celebration Key, with plenty of relaxing sea days in between. I cover everything you need to know before booking: embarkation at Port Tampa Bay, ship layout, interior room tour, food options, shows, live music, and whether this classic Fantasy Class ship is still worth sailing in 2026. Is Carnival Paradise outdated… or secretly the perfect low-key cruise?
