Sailing primarily out of its homeport in Tampa, Florida, the Carnival Paradise offers sun-soaked, four- to six-day Western Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries that whisk passengers away to popular tropical destinations like Cozumel and Nassau. While it is one of Carnival's classic Fantasy-class ships, it has been continuously updated to feature some of the fleet's most popular modern amenities. Onboard, guests can cool off and race down the thrilling, spiraling slides at the Carnival WaterWorks waterpark, grab a mouthwatering poolside meal at Guy’s Burger Joint, or escape the lively crowds for some peaceful, kid-free relaxation at the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat. When the sun goes down, the Punchliner Comedy Club serves up both family-friendly and adults-only stand-up sets, making it a perfect highlight to round out an action-packed day at sea.
