James4me Posted June 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2019 We are sailing on the Panorama next May in a Havana cabin. I’m getting super excited. Who’s excited about their upcoming cruise to the Mexican Rivera? What are your hopes and likes about this new ship? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Nightrythm Posted June 22, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'm definitely looking forward to it. Link to post Share on other sites
naxer Posted June 22, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2019 We're excited. We booked on the day it opened, lol. It was such a good deal, we booked a B2B. We're sailing in February with a Havana aft balcony. We like sea days and usually staked out a spot in the serenity areas before, so we're looking forward to the Havana area. We also really like the Alchemy bar, but on the other ships we were on, it was kind of a little more isolated than on the Panorama, but that might make it all the funner. I also want to do the sky ride, and my cruise buddy will want to try out the skymaxx. And we've never been to that side of Mexico, so we're looking forward to the ports.

Taking the west coast edition of our grandchildren. This will be our first cruise from West Coast. All the others have been from Galveston or NOLA. Link to post Share on other sites
fyree39 Posted June 22, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'm always excited to sail on a new (to us) ship and Panorama sure fits that bill. We'll be on her two Februarys in a row, with the 2021 sailing having us in a Havana Cabana. We live on the West Coast and usually have to settle for much older ships. Getting a brand new ship is exciting. Link to post Share on other sites
modes Posted June 22, 2019 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2019 We live close to LGB so it's great to have a new ship. Link to post Share on other sites
Szoyka Posted June 22, 2019 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Boarding the Panorama on January 18, 2020. We are very excited for the new ship. This will be my sixth Mexican Riviera and the third for my wife. Best excursion we have been on would be Rhythms of the Night in Puerto Vallarta, I recommend this one big time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ranyw Posted June 22, 2019 #10 Share Posted June 22, 2019 How do you guys feel about being on a larger ship? I think the Spirit class ships have the perfect balance of space. I’m sure the Fantasy class ships have a special place in everyone’s heart also... Link to post Share on other sites
Cushing985 Posted June 22, 2019 #11 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'm excited about the Panorama being on the West coast but has anyone heard if this ship will make a couple of Hawaii trips or will carnival just stick with the Spirit class ships for these cruises? Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyFan33579 Posted June 22, 2019 #12 Share Posted June 22, 2019 We live in Florida, so I am not excited about Panorama, although I think it’s a good idea for Carnival to put a new ship on the Wesr coast. However, I am excited and looking forward to Mardi Gras. Link to post Share on other sites

We have booked Rhythms for our 02/20 cruise. Have heard nothing but positive reviews. Always hoping to see more reviews of course. Fun to anticipate. Since we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary, we are hoping the dinner at the show will offer us a chance for a nice “perfect spot” table for 2. I’ll be in a panic about the return time to the ship...even though I realize the ship won’t leave without a Carnival excursion group. 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Joebucks Posted June 22, 2019 #14 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I think it got overshadowed a bit by the Mardi Gras, but I'm sure glad it's coming. It has definitely heightened my interest in a Mexican Riviera cruise. Can't wait! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Then once you walk past all the other fun and interesting things to get to the dining area, find a table that suits you. I don't recall any tables being set aside for a romantic feel. It isn't that kind of dining experience. It's a buffet. And you'll be there with 100 of your closest Carnival friends so the boat will get you back to the ship in plenty of time. No need to panic. 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites

I see the Panorama is in Puerto Vallarta from 8am - 8pm on my cruise. The web site says it's a 5 hour excursion, and starts at 4pm. Puerto Vallarta is 2 hours ahead of California, so I'm assuming the ship will be on Puerto Vallarta time. Link to post Share on other sites
glrounds Posted January 27, 2020 #17 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Just got off the PANORAMA yesterday. Had a great time. You won't be disappointed. 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites
