The ship is familiar from the Carnival ships (who own Costa for those who don’t know), so them keeping a lot of the set up from Costa is awesome. Definitely an upgrade from what I have seen from the MAS Paradise. I refused to sail on it, but this one has changed my mind about MAS. They spent some money on this one.

We didn’t see them checking any IDs while we were back there. ;) With that said, after an injury on the next to last day of our sailing, the water slide was shut down.

They did an amazing job. It’s clear they had a lot more creative control bringing in a new ship (versus inheriting what Bahamas Paradise already had). The spaces are all very intentional, and it’s one of our favorite classes of ships (Spirit). Definitely think they’ve got a competitor with this one!! -m
