Review summary

The cruise was our first since the Pandemic. It was wonderful to get back on board. The beautiful Panorama was a wonderful experience. We wish all the crew the very best.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Long Beach is an excellent embarkation point. Very organized and efficient. My niece forgot her original vaccination card and boarding documents. They accepted the copy on her phone and the docs were no problem. Great service.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was better than we remember ever having on Carnival. Everything was delicious. Love the Iguana grill!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We rode the skyride and did the ropes course. So much fun! I am 66 with two artificial knees, The rope course was challenging, but I DID IT! Very proud of myself. We all enjoyed the skyride and rode it several times. We didn't find the SkyZone until the last day. It looked like a great place to hang out and have a blast. We will take our grandchildren there next time.

Entertainment

All I can say was AMAZING!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The dining team at table 131 consisted of Nazar, Robert and Floyd. They were unbelievable. They were attentative, efficient and fun. Our water and wine never went empty. The recommended dishes we had never tried. How they remember everyone's name and drink order amazes us. They were a fantastic team. It is obvious the Nazar is very experienced and enjoys his job. He is a great dancer too! Our room steward was Kormsri. Again, it is amazing that every time she saw us, she called us by name. The room was also perfect. She got us whatever we asked for quickly and willingly. We can't imagine the demands some guests put on her. She was always smiling, friendly and super efficient. Please convey our great admiration.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This ship is beautiful. The decor was understated, modern and comfortable. The lido buffet was different, with being closed in, but we finally managed to find our way around. The the design made the area not feel as crowded as on other ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was lovely and comfortable. We enjoyed the balcony. The bathroom size was great. It felt larger than on other ships. We did not get to use the thermal spa area. Every time we tried, it was too crowded. But the spa was very nice.

Ship tip

Check out the fun areas, like the Skyride, rope course. The Havanna bar was fantastic place to gather in the evening. Don't miss the shows!

Disembarkation

The ship arrived late due to a storm. The Cruise Director, Christian, kept everyone informed. It was great that the Lido kept food available during the longer wait.
