Carnival Panorama is a beautiful ship with lots to do and great shore tours. We use both Carnival's shore tours and shore tours. Both are top notch. Food is really good in regular dining room and they are the only cruise line that serves free lobster tail and prime rib on formal night. The shows now use Broadway people to do the Broadway shows and they are excellent. Love this itinerary!

Service and Staff
4 out of 5
wait staff was normal service, even in the specialty restaurants. Did not go beyond. Cabin steward went beyond with their service. Made a birthday cake out of towels with light that blinked. Happy Birthday note written on mirror covered the entire mirror. Kept room clean and new towel animal every day.
Ship Quality

The jogging track is on the top deck, outside, with 360 degree view of the ocean as you jog.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We have had larger cabins on other cruise lines with walk in closets, so I was worried we could not fit everything in the small closet. Tip: bring lots of extra wire hangers, instead of using their big bulky ones (shove those under the bed) and everything will fit in the closet!
Ship tip
JiJis restaurant is really unique with the way they serve their menu. Guys burgers for lunch, Mexican burritos/tacos for breakfast
Highly recommend Rhythms of the Night shore tour. Boat ride to private island, fancy dinner on beach, Cirque du Soleil type show in the jungle, boat ride back to ship. Done this 3 times so far and will do it again!
Loved Deer Island Kayaking tour. No people trying to get you to purchase anything. Soft sandy beach, water taxi, lunch on beach and all day guide included.
Loved the Electric bike tour. Best part was on the beach. Crashed 3 times but no one got hurt because you are provided with helmet, knee & elbow pads and goggles. It is a small group guided ride. Includes delicious lunch
used the carry your own bags off the ship for an early flight. Tons of people used this method so the line was really long. Tip: put your bags in line really early and then go have breakfast. Facial recognition to go through customs so it is really fast.
Great review! Really nice to see & hear all the compliments. We sail Panorama in 4 days and couldn't be more excited after originally booking this cruise in 2018.
