CCL Paradise vs CCL Imagination which would you choose?

HI - we are new cruisers. Set to go on our First cruise this January on the Ecstasy. I am now planning the 2nd one (haven't been on the first and already I am hooked). Love this site! You are all so nice and helpful! Wanted to know if anyone out there had any info on which of the above cruises they would prefer? I am planning a trip out of Tampa next and both of these ships sail from there. Thanks for any info.

Sorry I meant to ask which ship between the Paradise and the Inspiration out of Tampa. my bad. :(

The Paradise hasn't had the Evolutions of Fun upgrades like the Inspiration has. This means the Paradise will not have the Carnival Waterworks (waterpark). Also, the Inspiration is moving to Long Beach, CA in December. The Paradise is replacing it in Tampa. I've been on the Inspiration and it is beautiful, but aren't they all! Have fun.

The above post says that the Inspiration is beautiful. I believe it. So that would be my choice. The Paradise is kinda old. I have sailed it about 3 times. I always had fun, but it is dated. Bon Voyage.
