We were at Paradise Beach in Dec 2008 on a Carnival Imagination cruise...took a chance at Paradise Beach...it was AWESOME...the best part of the trip for my boyfriend.  We are coming back Dec 2009 and cannot wait...the new stuff looks GREAT!!!  LOVE PARADISE BEACH!!!  For the other islands we are going to, my 1st question on message boards & cruiecritic.com is :Is there a beach there like Paradise Beach in Cozumel?
