Carnival Cruise Ship Resumes Cruises After Multi-Million Dollar Renovation

A Carnival cruise ship has resumed cruises out of Tampa, Florida after receiving a multi-million dollar renovation from the cruise line that included a new waterpark and restaurants.

Carnival Paradise will sail a five night cruise to the Western Caribbean this week, the ship’s first cruise since February.  While the cruise ship was in dry dock, Carnival Cruise Line added new balcony staterooms, a waterpark, and new food and beverage innovations.

38 new cabins were added to the cruise ship and 98 balconies were added to existing staterooms. In addition to the new cabins, the following was added to Carnival Paradise:

WaterWorks Aqua Park: Located on Verandah Deck, this expansive all-ages water park features an enclosed 300-foot-long Twister water slide full of exhilarating twists and turns, two 82-foot-long racing slides, and a splash zone for kids.

In addition to Carnival Paradise’s short cruise program, Carnival Cruise Line’s Tampa-based offerings include Carnival Miracle’s year-round six- and seven-day cruises visiting beautiful ports throughout the western Caribbean, as well as eight-day voyages that include a partial transit of the Panama Canal.
