Review summary

This was our first cruise in four years. We had a wonderful time, we love all things about Mexico and love the convenience of the Port of Long Beach only being an hour from our home.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Using VeriFLY helped get us into the terminal faster (all COVID documents in one place), however once we passed the x-ray machines the line to actually check-in was extremely long. We were in line just over an hour, but there seemed to be a lot of glitches with their computer system so that day. Didn’t let it bother me though, I was only steps away from my first cruise in 4 years!!

Ship experiences

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The aft pool was the least crowded but we didn’t realize that until our 2nd to last sea day. We really enjoyed Miss Money and the Bingo crew!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The nightly shows were amazing, the DJ’s on the Lido were great. The rock band just passed Java Blue left a lot to be desired in my opinion.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
What can I say that hasn’t already been said?? The crew of the Panorama is amazing, hard working & friendly - from the bartenders, wait staff & room steward we were not disappointed at all!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Wow, Panorama is beautiful! Such calming colors, the decor is very soothing.

Ship tip

Book excursions & specialty restaurants early and be prepared for the weather to be a bit cooler and the water much rougher when returning to Long Beach.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy peasy! We opted for late debarkation, left our room around 8:45 and headed to Buffet for breakfast. We were off the boat & in our car by 10:30! The facial recognition process in Long Beach was amazing, didn’t have to pull out our passports!
