My friend always carries her full size suitcase on-board.  As long as it fits through the Carnival scanner and you can handle it you're fine.

Yes smoking is still allowed in the casino if you are playing.

Thank you for taking the time to post.  I always enjoy your reviews.

The * is explained on the bottom of that photo.

I could not find the * in the photo and I did not realize I could enlarge the photo until you posted this.  Thanks for the information.

Is there an extra charge for the flat iron steak and the grilled salmon?  I noticed an asterisk next to those items.  

Thanks

Have a great cruise. What’s crazy is you’re going to be on just the 3rd Panorama cruise since mine nearly 18 months ago.

I was on the February , 2020 sailing.  I am happy to be going back again.  Just wish we didn't need to test as we are all vaccinated but it goes with the territory.  

Candi

Love your reviews.  I won't be able to follow after August 28th, as I will be boarding the Panorama.  I will definitely come back after my cruise to see how it all went.  Have a great trip.

Candi

Yes you can still get soda, powerade, coffee, etc.

Cabo on my planner says we leave port at 3:00 pm.  Last tender is around 1:30.

I hate they changed it.  I like Cabo first for the longer port stop.

5:45 was under my Cabo but that is the time for my time dining.  Mazatlan is 6:00, PV is 8:00.  You have to look at every stop.  5:45 was on all of mine as that is the my time dining time.

I have never gotten an upsell call.  My friend and I were in our hotel room getting ready to head to port when his phone range.  They gave us a free upgrade from an inside to a balcony.  Best upgrade ever.  I think those days are gone forever.  That was in 2017.  Leaving August 28th in an inside with 3 of us.  Would love that call again.  Not holding my breathe.

I was checking for Bonsai Tepanyaki.  Not listed.  I wonder if they aren't doing this restaurant because of close contact.

Candi

I feel for the people who can't get a passport as the back log is 12-18 weeks expedited.  My daughter is having to use her Drivers license and Birth certificate.

Candi

I was on the Panorama for a week in February 2020 right before the pandemic shut everything down.  It was a beautiful ship.  I am sailing on her again on August 28th.  I am looking forward to hearing about this Mardi Gras sailing.  It will give me something to look forward to.

It's not terrible, but I tell you what... Aldi has a 3 buck bottle of pinot grigio that is better.  Their zinfadel isn't bad, either.  

 

Free IS a good marketing tool! It gets people into the steakhouse when it would otherwise be slow. Brilliant!

The pinot grigio at my Aldi is $2.00 a bottle it's the only reason I go there.

Check with your hotel if your staying overnight.  A lot of them have printers for their guests.

This happened to my daughter.  8 cruises missing.  I stayed on hold forever and talked to some who gave me an email address.  I am fortunate that I have my information so I have most of the booking numbers for her cruises as we were together the email is ----pastcruises@carnival.com.  The person I spoke to said to use the new VFIP number I gave her and reference mine as they will be able to find hers with my information.  Hope this helps someone.

If you two are in the same cabin - then all the luggage going to that cabin will have equal priority - same for check-in.

I just used this link.  My friend who booked the cruise has tags that say Platinum.  Mine do not even though I am and my daughter who is also in the cabin with us is not Platinum and hers are plain like mine.  I thought everyone in the cabin got the Platinum tags.  I am still trying to figure out why mine don't say Platinum.  If it isn't right before we sail I guess I will just use my friends tags for all the luggage.

Are you seeing the crazy good VIFP prices for this cruise as well with your booking? $200 for insides and like $360 for balconies as well? 

Yes my friend booked us 200 each and 169 for my daughter as the 3rd person.  She is so excited.

Candi

We are going.  My two friends and my daughter.  We are on the August 28th sailing.  Couldn't believe the prices.  

Candi

Thank you for all your great information.  I am sailing August 28th.  I will also be following along.

Candi

Just thought I would come back and update.  I called Carnival and was told they carry Heineken zero.  Thanks for the replies.

Candi

Does anyone know if Carnival offers Heineken or Bud zero beer?

Thanks in advance

Candi

Here is the link to where I got this information.

For those of you booked for spring of 2021, I just heard on the news that Carnival is cancelling all cruises through spring of 2021.

Candi

Thank you for posting that great review.  I was on the Panorama on February 1, 2020.  I had a great time and it was fun to read this during my lock down.  (I found it late).  So glad you are well.  Sorry about all your unexpected trip issues.  I really hope you get to take your August cruise.  At this point I am not holding my breath to sail in November on Princess.
