Carnival Paradise

The Carnival Paradise is the eighth and last vessel in Carnival Cruise Lines Fantasy class of cruise ships. She was built in 1998 by Kvaerner Masa-Yards Helsinki New Shipyard, Finland as MS Paradise. The ship was renamed with a "Carnival" prefix in 2007.

The Paradise was built to be the world's first completely non-smoking cruise ship. Every step of her construction was done by non-smoking personnel and she was entered into service supported by several anti-smoking and cancer-prevention groups. "No smoking" signs were placed prominently on both sides of the ship and on the stern under the name.

Due to poor revenue, Carnival decided to discontinue the smoke-free ship in December 2003 because non-smokers tend to not drink or gamble as much as those accustomed to smoke.

  • Drive to your port? Carnival should be proud - Year-round cruising from Baltimore on the Carnival Pride offers the 40 million people that live within a six-hour drive of the city to look beyond the traditional cruising seasons and sail throughout the year. What they will find is tremendous value for the money. View related photosI usually fly to a cruise vacation rather than driving. But my drive-to cruise phobia lifted the minute Carnival announced it was doing year-round cruises from Baltimore. I was truly looking forward to not having to go through the stressful security and baggage gauntlet at the airport. [...] - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33350286/ns/travel-cruising/
