Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything I had was incredible! Guy’s Burger Joint was great, Pig & Anchor was great, Pasta Bella was great, Pizzeria Del Capitano was great, and everything in the main dining room was fantastic. I loved the new Emiril menu. Papperdelle with braised lamb was my favorite main, and escargot was my favorite starter. I also enjoyed the linguini alfredo, fish cake, chicken parm, spaghetti carbonara, and lobster tail.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I really liked the Red Fun water slide. I also enjoyed pool while we were docked in Puerto Vallarta and Cabo. I wish there were more hot tubs. I also really enjoyed the trivia.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I like Celestial Strings and Soulbound. I’m not a fan of Rock Revolution. I really wish they’d bring Broadway Beats back. Broadway Beats was my favorite show last time I was on Carnival Panorama. I also really enjoyed watching Danielle at the piano bar, she was funny. I liked Family Feud and Love And Marriage. Deon is funny.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff is fantastic! Staff was very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I like the fact that there’s 2 promenades. Most Carnival ships only have one. The lanai is also great. I like elevator system. My only complaint is that I wish it would ask how many people are in your party before selecting your floor. Selecting it for each person is really awkward.

I did not get off at any of the ports so I can’t make a review for any of them.
