Expereinced cruiser thoughts on this ship and Carnival as a whole - Just ok. Mostly b/c the value has gone down a ton.
"The art and spa stuff is so hard sell it is expensive annoying and I feel bad for everyone having to sell and touch us gross passengers.I know party pooper right :-) Also if you know anything about Carnival the company they are drowning in debt (literally) so none of this will be going away or changing any time soon...."Read More

We chose this cruise as it's only a 50 minute flight to Long Beach. The ship was very clean and I'm not sure how Carnival does it, but their staff is amazing. We took our 7 year old grandson and had a deluxe ocean view with to bathrooms. There was enty of room for the 3 of us. It was 2 hort flights to the Vista dining room. We always take my time dining as we enjoy the flexibility. The Food ...

Hello! We are in our 40s with a tween. We have cruised several times- 3 with Carnival, Royal, and Norweigan. Pros: The ship is beautiful! She is well maintained. Staff was fantastic. Room steward did an excellent job. She was always cheerful. Our waiter was fantastic. He was attentive. I loved the Italian restaurant and the pizza. All of the onboard activities was great. Slides, sky rider, and ...

Getting there Brian and I booked the Panorama to the Mexican Riviera last year for our Spring Break cruise. We took advantage of a very rare free Cheers promotion, and used it to the fullest! We took the chance of flying from Las Vegas to Long Beach the morning of the cruise. It was a little stressful, but we took the first flight in the morning, with plenty of flights throughout the day ...

First, I apologize for this novel but I do like to provide thorough information for others to reference! I have sailed twice on Disney Cruise Line (2018-2019) and five times on Royal Caribbean (2022-2023). I’m a travel agent and looking to expand my offerings and the best way to do that is to keep sailing! I live on the west coast and Carnival has a noticeable presence here year round, so I found ...

We chose because it was West Coast (easier for traveling for us from AK) and week before Spring Break. The food quality has gone down tremendously. The service was good and entertainment ok but if you aren’t a late owl be prepared to miss most deck or theme parties since they all started at 10:30 or 11pm. The 15-17 age group seemed like they didn’t do much to engage kids together and my ...

Prologue We sailed on the Panorama to the the Mexican Riviera with a small group celebrating our oldest son's 41st birthday. My wife and I are both Travel Agents and have sailed on many different cruises and cruise lines. We had been on the Panorama 3 times previously right after the cruise lines started sailing again after the pandemic, because the prices were very low to encourage people to ...

A very nice ship that is hampered by poor main dining food and a feeling of everything costing extra.

The ship layout is great and there seems to be plenty of rooms and seats all of which were quite comfortable. The cabin was clean enough (we did notice a layer of dust on a few surfaces in the room though). And everyone we talked to about their rooms thought they were nice and quiet. They have done well with the insulation in these rooms! The buffet and the MDR had amazing service but ...

Right off the top the ship’s layout is dated and confusing. Almost every level of the ship is dark and gloomy even on the brightest of days. Getting to our cabin we were met with the most putrid smell both in the cabin and throughout the hallway. To the very last day the smell was present. A dinner credit was allotted to my mother-in-law to help resolve the issue and this meal (had at the sushi ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Fourth time on this ship, and the last. Most things were the same, but some worse than in the past. Cabin was clean and service good. The shows as usual were very good. The cruse staff especially a lady maned Queen Mary was very good. Deon the CD very energetic, but not super friendly. Food was mediocre, not as good as in the psdt. Dinner service was very good. The worst was breakfast. ...

This was our 12th cruise and 5th one with Carnival. I'm definitely a fan of the FUN ships. Embarkation in Long Beach is pretty streamlined. We always fly in a day early and stay on the Queen Mary the night before. Just get up and walk across the parking lot and your off. It makes it so easy and the Queen Mary is such fun. The ship was in great shape. Not the traditional crazy colors that ...
