Review summary

Great trip, enjoyed the Mexican Riviera and the Panorama. We will probably return to the Caribbean for the next few cruises as it is closer for us but will visit the Riviera again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
A bit slow with the Panorama arriving to Long Beach a couple hours late. Didn’t hurt our mood any.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We enjoyed everything from the MDR, Deli, Guy’s, pizza, and Mexican. Traveled with family of 9 and everyone was happy with the food.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The family enjoyed the dodgeball and volleyball tournaments. We did the sky carts, once was plenty for me. Family also spent some time doing the trivia games.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Comedy shows were very good, went to 4 or 5 of them. Also watched a couple movies at the dive in theatre, also very enjoyable.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was friendly, room steward was excellent. Main dining room experience has changed a bit since my last cruise pre-Covid, not necessarily for the better.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was clean, always seemed to be someone cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

Be patient, give Guys’s barbecue a shot on sea days for lunch.

Ports of call

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
We had a lot of fun here. Went to stone island and spent the day on the beach. Rode horses and did the banana boat ride.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

4 out of 5
Arrived several hours late due to ship issues, did get off but it was already dark. Walked around for an hour and headed back to ship. Did see a sea lion up close at the marina.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
Nice port, went to beach and did some shopping.

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth and easy. We carried our luggage off and had an early muster so allowed us to disembark fairly early.
