It's interesting thing Jim. We love the activity in the main pool area (or Serenity when we want quiet), and do the MDR every night unless we hit a Specialty now and again. Good for all of us.

We were on that cruise on super bowl weekend. Our first time on Carnival loved the Panorama while we ate mostly in the uncharge restaurants when we did go to MDR I was impressed with the food quality. While we enjoyed all the ports Cabo was our favorite wish it wouldn't have been such a short time there. While we didn't spring for a Havana room we were in a spa cabin on deck 14 and loved going to the spa. It is funny we are from Washington also, we are from Whidbey Island and yes it was a great time to go to the Mexican Riviera. Keep up the good blogging.

We did one of the Mazatlan all inclusives but it was one where u could do the beach and also there were a couple of pools on the other side u could ferry over to and one of them was heated with a swim up bar. The other had some little rock caves to explore but was also freezing cold. We did after lunch hang out on the beach. It was actually a thing where the vendors were not supposed to cross the rope but a couple of them did come over but it wasn't a ton of them. I do think it was a bit annoying though but I did enjoy the heated swim up bar pool. Very relaxing time.

Hey Jim, you should try the newest ship from carnival, the Mardi Gras, it’s a XL class ship, it’s huge, it can hold up to 6500 guest and 1700 crew members, we love it….we stayed in the Havana area from the Mardi Gras, but I have to admit, it’s not the same like on horizon,vista or panorama, but still better then be on the crowded main pool area….greetings from Florida.

Hi Jim, I'm going on this ship in July with my husband, brother and sister in law. My brother has done multiple cruises, Princess and many Carnivals- I think he has been on Vista about 6 times. Does Las Caletas beach have umbrellas? I didn't see any in your footage. I enjoyed your video- thank you for sharing.

There are lots of places in the shade. We always pick a shady spot so that we don't get burned from a day in the sun. Down on the beach itself there aren't umbrellas... but just a few steps away are lots of shady spots under trees... 30 seconds from the water.

Yes, I'm fairly sure that you can fund your onboard spending account with cash. Most people just use a credit card, but I'm fairly sure that you could also just take cash to the guest services desk and deposit that in to your onboard spending account.

No, but it is very inexpensive. For example, the Trash Can Nachos are $4, Beef Brisket is $8, and Salmon is $8. "The Whole Smoker", which is a sampler of several different entrees and is enough to serve two people, is $16.

Do they give you enough time for excursions and get back to the ship?
@JimZim
Жыл бұрын
Of course. That's pretty much the point... to take you to some interesting place like Cabo San Lucas or Puerto Vallarta and then to give you the day to explore! Just make sure you wear a watch set to ship time, rather than using your phone to figure out what time it is. Your phone will show you local time, which may be an hour different than ship time in some ports. There have been people who have showed up to the pier at the end of the day, only to find the ship gone without them, because they were looking at local time on their phone and the ship's time was an hour ahead. A waterproof old-school wristwatch is invaluable on a cruise.

I really wanted to book a Havana suite but I was worried about the noise from the bar.
@JimZim
2 жыл бұрын
That's an interesting subject. The very first time I stayed in the Havana section of a Vista-class ship, the noise from the band playing at the Havana bar was horrendous. It made it very hard for me to sleep in the cabin until the band finally stopped playing at night. I believe this was on the Carnival Vista. However, I've now sailed on Carnival Panorama twice in the Havana section... once in a Havana suite and once in a Havana cabana... and neither time did I hear any noise from the band playing in the Havana bar. It was so odd. Perhaps Carnival did more soundproofing on the Havana cabins on Panorama than they did on Vista. Or maybe they have the band play at a lower volume now. In any case, on both of my cruises on Carnival Panorama, noise from the band at the Havana bar was not an issue at all.

How much is a room on a Havana pool area on Carnival Panorama cruise ship?
@JimZim
8 ай бұрын
It varies depending on the date you choose to sail. For example, during the summer it's more expensive than in the winter. Big holidays like Christmas and New Years are the most expensive times of the year. The cheapest times of the year are generally January or the first week of December. If you want to see exactly what it costs, you can go to Carnival's web site and price it out. We call this "doing a mock booking". In other words, you go through all the steps of selecting a ship and a date and picking a cabin... just as if you were going to book a cruise... and you do all the steps up until they tell you the final price. But you don't go any further than that. In other words, you don't give them your name or credit card number or anything like that. This way you can see the real price for a specific date on a specific ship in a particular kind of cabin.
