Carnival First-Time Cruisers Cruise Reviews

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 ...

On Saturday January 20th my family and I boarded the Carnival Panorama in Long Beach for a Mexican Riviera cruise to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta. We joined a few other families that also have children like we do. In short the trip was AMAZING and I highly recommend it. If you are looking for a tiny intimate boat with a small amount of people, obviously the Carnival line is not ...

First review ever! I completed a 6 day Mexican Riviera cruise on the Carnival Panorama in early January. I was previously on the Panorama in June. I have been on 10 cruises and this was my first cruise going solo. The good, the bad, and the ugly... let's start with the ugly. Honestly, the worst thing is something the cruise really can't control. It was cold and windy. The whole ...

We haven't cruised with Carnival in awhile. We have been on a ship from about every major cruise line. Carnival has stepped up it's game!!! From the vegan/gluten free labeling in the buffet and excellent food, to the design of this ship and activities. The staff was incredibly friendly. Shout out to our cabin steward , Adi who works the 6th deck. The towel animals were a nice touch and they ...

This was my first cruise and it was a blast!! Everyone was so friendly and helpful, especially Wisnu our floor attendant he was very sweet!! The food was really good, loved JiJi restaurant our server Arthur was very friendly!! I would totally take another cruise in the future especially with Carnival Panorama there is so much to do from the entertainment and the pools, tons of different shops and ...

Port was a little busy but we were able to get on the ship fairly quick. Enjoyed getting to walk around the ship. Love the app and love the $5 for chat with family. Made it easy to plan your day and communicate. See photos and see what people in your party would like to do. With simple reminders. Our steward was great and very attentive. We had Spa Balcony room nestled back in the corner! ...

We are repeat Carnival customers and have also been on Celebrity and Disney. Because a good time on a 6-day Panorama Christmas cruise two years ago, we took new cruisers with us for this trip. Our two families had kids ages 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20. The Panorama has the happy atmosphere that Carnival intends with its "Fun" focus. Carnival is campy and over-the-top and proud of it. If you are a ...

We went to celebrate our anniversary and the panorama fit the dates and places we wanted to go. Fyi i would just bring luggage on board instead of checking it in next time cause it takes a long time for them to distribute the over 4000 bags. Me and my husband loved almost everything we ate. We got to meet chefs and regularly enjoy 8 different restaurants. Ji ji asian for dinner was our favorite! ...

We chose this cruise because we could sail on our wedding anniversary and because it sailed from a port pretty close to us (Long Beach, CA). We had an amazing time! Generally speaking, it was great and the service was spectacular!! Jaya was our room steward and he was fantastic! Yudi and Sigit served us in the dining room and they were so friendly and funny!! The drinks were always flowing. We ...

We are two female friends in our late 40s. We had a great time on this cruise to Mexico! SHIP The ship is so big we didn't discover some bars until halfway through the cruise. We tried one bar for the first time on the last day! There was plenty to do all the time during the day, from dance lessons to bingo to trivia. Or enjoying the spa/thermal suites. The steam rooms were super hot which ...
