Dining options are centered around two large, elegant main dining rooms serving breakfast, lunch, dinner;  and Lido Deck restaurants serving buffets, 24-hour pizza, as well as lighter fare. 

The Carnival Paradise also offers Camp Carnival, Carnival's renowned kid's program, which keeps kids from 2-11 engaged in play activities as well as movies and pizza parties during the day and even into the evening (for a small fee) to give parents some time alone). Carnival's teen programs provide a fun and safe environment for teenagers to meet other kids their own age for video game tournaments, parties, and other activities. A large onboard arcade is also available separate from the kids club areas, and a mini-golf course on the sports deck adds to the fun.

 

Nightlife abounds in a variety of bars and lounges featuring different styles of live music, often including everything from rock to jazz to blues, to an old-fashioned sing-along piano bar and karaoke to a disco pumping out dance music into the wee hours. The grand, multi-tiered theater presents Broadway-style revues featuring the ship's talented cast of singers and dancers, and a large casino offers a variety of games when the ship is at sea.  Poker games and tournaments are also staged throughout each voyage.
