La Lido Loca

Just stumbled upon this thread. We watched the Sea Cruisers and Mr. Traveler quite a bit prior to our first cruise. Looking forward to checking out the others here. Needless to say after that first cruise my wife and I are hooked. We have 5 more booked. Also, we started a vlog. Feel free to check it out. Would love some feedback as we don't really know what we are doing :).

Great review. We are on the Paradise in September. We will be second time cruisers. Our first ship was the Fantasy and they had Guy's Burgers and the Blue Iguana where the Grill and the Mongolia place is on the Paradise. What did grill offer? Was it just burgers?

We cruised on her last month (April 13 - April 17). I was our first cruise so we really didn't know what to expect. We stayed the night about 5 minutes from the terminal at the Quality Inn Downtown in Mobile. They had a park and stay package for $139 which included 1 nights stay, parking for our car, and shuttle service to an from the terminal. Rooms were nice and the shuttle aspect was super easy. We had a good time on the Fantasy. Like others mentioned it is a older ship, but it had all the things we wanted (food, drink, comedy, karaoke, casino, hot tub). There was an issue with the ships propulsion system and we unable to cruise to Cozumel as planned, however they fixed the issue during the cruise and we were able to port in Key West, Florida which was great. Carnival was very accommodating because of the issue and gave everyone onboard a 50% refund, on-board credit, and 50% discount on a future cruise. Overall a great first cruise experience.

We did capture video of the trip if you want to check it out.

Happy to answer any questions. Enjoy your cruise.
