Paradise Guarantee

I am one of those displaced Norway cruisers and I've just booked a ocean view guarantee and I was just wondering if I could get some feedback. This our first cruise and we really liked the idea of a smoke-free ship, but I'm not sure if the guarantee thing was a good idea.

Why? Just about all outside cabins on the Paradise are identical. Having sailed on Fantasy Class ships 3 times, I haven't found that cabin location is very important, so not to worry. The Paradise is a fantastic ship, you will have a great time no matter the cabin location.

Most of the time we have booked guarantees and we have not been disappointed yet. Look at it this way, you say it is your first cruise, that means you will be so busy checking out the ship and so busy doing all the new cruise things that chances are you will not be in your room much.

Relax and enjoy your cruise on the Paradise. When are you sailing?

We're sailing Oct. 26th. Do you happen to know if we tip the same amount for children as we do for adults? Thanks.

In the Carnival brochure it does not mention that there is a difference in the tip rate for kids. Carnival does have an automatic tipping system. They will put tips on your Sign and Sail cards that equal $9.75 a day per person. You CAN go to the pursers desk and change this amount or eliminate it all together and than just tip what you feel comfortable tipping. The rates for tipping will be in your documents. The automatic tip takes care of your room steward and your wait staff. If you wish to tip the Maitre d' that is seperate from the automatic tip.

If you use room service generally you would tip whoever delivers the room service a buck or two when they deliver the order depending on how much you have ordered. A 15% tip will automatically be added to your drink bill. If you buy soda cards for anyone the tip IS included in the price of the soda card. Kids soda cards are cheaper than adults.

I hope this helps some. I will be on the Paradise August 31 and September 7 so I will try to keep it in good shape for you :grin
