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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
We went to get out of winter for a week and a 60th birthday.
I don’t understand the small beds. Get rid of the stupid night table and at least 2 full sized beds. I put mine on the floor as I fell out. Improvement in comfort of beds. Room steward was lovely.
However the food is mediocre all the way. Except the steak house which cost over a $100.
Pasta tasted like it had been made with ...
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 ...
There are only 2 small pools in the carnival panorama and were NOT heated pools. My kids were really disappointed with the pools and none of us enjoyed the pools at all despite how small and dirty the pools were.
The foods were just average, MDR foods presentation were soso, but at least MDR was the only place I was willing to have dinner, not much choice. I didn't want to eat their buffet at ...
I can't speak for Carnival as a whole, so I'm going to base this review entirely Carnival Paranoma Route - Long Beach to Mexico on Dec 23-30th, 2023. This is the first time on Carnival cruise and it took our whole family by a surprise, and I mean not in a good way...I'm going to break down the reviews in different categories.
*Food & Services* 2/5
This is seriously the most disappointing ...
Horrible cruise! We call it the cruise from Hell. Broken propulsion system AGAIN on this ship!!! We had high anxiety and stress the entire week. They set sail knowing the ship couldn’t reach maximum speed and cancelled ports before we even left Long Beach. Crookedest stunt ever to not announce it before we boarded. Give us a choice to get our money back 100%!! Some of us flew from the midwest and ...
I will start with a quick summary of our cruise and then break it down into sections with more detail. First, a little about us, we are an easy going family of four including two kids aged 8 and 11. We have been on nine Carnival cruises as a family so we are pretty experienced cruisers.
Quick summary: Panorama is a very nice ship with lots of amenities, activities, and entertainment to keep ...
I don’t usually write reviews. So here goes. -
Look- we have been cruising with carnival almost 20 years. We have reached our breaking point. This cruise line has become masters of working every angle for a buck. A massive stomach bug took over the ship and there was near pandemic levels of diarrhea and vomiting. Every hand sanitizer station was empty of product except one, and despite the ...
