Default Paradise Weekend Booze Cruise?

This will be my first cruise on Carnival. It will also be the first time that I am crusing by myself. My qustion is, is the Paradise just one big party/drunk fest for the weekend? Do they offer a large variety of things to do through out the day? I am thinking that there won't be a lot to do other than drinking. Thanks for the help.

Most of the activities seen on a longer cruise will be offered. That said, more of the pax will be in party 'til you drop mode than on a longer Carnival cruise. The same can be said for most "weekend cruises"...regardless of cruise line

Cool

On the weekend cruise, it is much more of a party hearty atmosphere than the weekday Paradise cruise.

But there is still plenty to do, regular activities and such...
It's also a ship where it's very easy to find a quiet spot and hang out on your own if you want...

You'll be able to do as much or as little as you desire.

Having cruised on the Paradise a few time for the weekend cruise, you can Party if you want, or you can just hang out.. Its a great weekend cruise. I like to Party, my sisters didn't. We both did our own things and then met up, we all had a good time.

I've always thought of all my travels on Paradise as being pretty mellow

Totally agree - we partied one of the nights, the next night we were just mellow and watched a movie - do what you want!
