Carnival Panorama Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Ship and cruise was overall great. A little disappointed in the food selection and they didn’t even have the Whole Foods selection area open. We were supposed to be able to stay in Cabo until three but when we got there then they said the last ferry to the ship was at 1:30 so that was extremely disappointing never said that in any of the brochures and that was my main purpose for taking the cruise. Staff was absolutely perfect couldn’t have been any better!!

After not being able to cruise for several years, we were greatly looking forward to getting back on board. The ship was outstanding and the ports would have been more appealing if my wife had been feeling better. We would highly recommend this cruise to anyone who would like to visit the Mexican Riviera.

Overall it was decent. Reconsider how people check in for their cruise. Figure out a better, more efficient, embarkation process. Have more people working the line to get people onto the ship quicker. Standing in line for well over TWO HOURS is unacceptable!

The cruise was wonderful great friendly staff comfortable bed great food! However my refrigerator in our room never worked and neither did the on demand movies. Getting on the boat as well as all the covid testing crap we had to go through just to get on the boat was very stressful and seemed pointless considering everyone was required to be vaccinated and tested prior to sailing and yet still I got covid on this cruise ship. Overall my cruise was fun it was a bummer that at the best stop we were only allowed off the boat until 1:30pm when we were supposed to be there until 8:30.

Changes made and something’s we didn’t know to do. We are platinum members and usually receive complementary bottles of water I didn’t realize that we had to go pick up our own until after 3 days.

This was my second cruise, first with Carnival. So many things went wrong such as the elevators breaking down on disembarkation day causing us to haul or heavy luggage multiple times down many flights of stairs. There were six fights that happened on the ship. A domestic violence attack outside of our stateroom. Completely unacceptable. The crew members acted like nothing happened. These people should be prosecuted and banned from Carnival. An announcement should have been informing all of the passengers regarding the events and consequences. Now, I fear for my personal safety. It was difficult to get my soda under the bubbles package. I had to ask many times in the MDR for my soda. I was never able to get soda in the buffet because everything is self serve and the only drinks available did not include soda. You have to leave the buffet and go out to the bar in the pool area for soda. Too much of a pain so I probably paid $8/glass of soda since I only had one glass a day in the MDR. My advice is to skip the Bubble package and just pay for each drink. Room service always got our morning coffee/creamer order wrong. So simple....three cups of coffee with creamer. We would get two cups. Or no creamer. No sugar/sweetener. etc. In spite of all of the unfortunate events, I still had a wonderful time with my family. I probably would not take a weeklong Carnival cruise again.

We enjoyed our cruise many choices for all ages and activity levels. Good for the young at heart . I was worried re making my flight home but it was very well organized and quick we made it with time to spare.

The ship was new and beautiful. Everyone worked real hard. Very organized, top notch food and more top notch entertainment.

We had a great time and made several new friends.

This was our first of many cruises!! We had a wonderful time

I was frustrated with the price you charge for the COVID test that was too expensive. It was the same test I took the night before ridiculous. Knowing the last minute most people are running around preparing, traveling to get too there destination. I happen to look at my email at when I was already heading there from Baltimore to LA. I work for the hospital the charge was outrageous I could of gotten it FREE. Even if you charge I could see $25 that's CRAZY. Also, disappointed with the late night shows it was like 20 minutes so much has change. Hopefully we will not have to go through this on the next one. Thanks

Awful shows, waited a long time for food to be served every night, all the time, shore excursion choices are all “blah” 😒. Staff service were great.

Overall, this cruise was very economical and packed full of fun. It was well worth it and we are now planning to cruise at least twice a year!!! Go Carnival!!!! By the way, it was our honeymoon and we plan to make cruising Carnival our annual anniversary celebration

Gold Stars to: Sutarjo - excellent stateroom attendant; Mirosipv Felix and everyone at the Stake House. I am not sure I got the name right but it was service I will never forget. Attentive, friendly, happy and I just cant give enough praise. Joannalie Housekeeping Attendant - she was busy doing her job but took time to help us and really listen and talk to us. She went out of her way to make sure we felt like VIP's and we were the most important people on the ship.

Ports were just OK, although excursion Rhythm of the Night was the best ever. I wouldn’t use the Main dining room, food was cold and below standard! Specialty dining was very good & Blue Iguana, Guy’s Burgers & pizza was great. Lido Marketplace was very good some days & fair depending on the day. Activities we’re entertaining & plentiful!

From our experience, I recommend using a different cruise line.

the cruise was relaxing. A little to loud on parts of the ship but we chose Carnival because of the kids activities. My 7 year old grandson had a great time but the literature was not clear that our 1 year old grandson would not be allowed to leave the ship. All of the activities for 2 and under were cancelled because of staff limitations so there was nothing for him to do. I know COVID is a issue but that could have been made clearer in the literature that all exempt restrictions would apply to 2 and under because they can not get vaccinated. There was no clear place to get instructions and details. We must have received 10 different instructions and when we called Customer Service to clarify it took 2 hours to get through to a person and then they did not have any information and just referred us back to the confusing policy information.

I just wanted to add that my 13 year old daughter contracted covid on this trip. We are very thankful that her symptoms didn't start until we were departing but she got very sick and she was fully vaccinated. None of her friends who she hung out with on the cruise ship got sick. 90% of passengers chose NOT to mask up. There was a false sense of security. We have been well for 3 years and she got sick just as USA lifted the mask mandate. I did see some people with sniffles and coughs boarding the ship...most were very young children who had exemptions from physicians. We also had a couple sitting directly behind us on our Cabo shore excursion coughing everywhere and parents not advising their children to cover their mouths when coughing. One little girl coughed all over the buffet. Please be mindful of others and mask up when indoors and in crowds. We had an amazing vacation but my daughter did get very sick and missed a full week of school coming back and the whole household had to wear masks in our own homes coming back.

Very disappointed. Left feeling taken advantage of. Too bad. We were loyal Carnival cruisers

This was our second cruise to mexico, the other one was on splendor so we wanted to try new ship and it was excellent great service and cleanest of ship and safe enviroment, buffet wasn't as good as splendor but this ship different variaty of free restaurants that compensiate for buffet
