One of my many highlights onboard Horizon was the guest Lip Sync Battle. But if theatre shows aren’t your thing, worry not, the Punchliner and other venues will have plenty on at the same time. Naturally, Carnival Panorama will feature a Playlist Productions theatre show each night, with music, singing, acrobatics and dance performances. Great routines – just stay clear of the front rows if you don’t want to be picked on. On our Horizon sailing we had various comedians onboard, changing at different ports. You can dress up, if that is your idea of fun.įor an evening fun & laughter, head to Carnival Panorama’s popular comedy club Punchliner for any of the shows, either early evening family-friendly comedy or the later, adult-only show with more linguistic freedom. And while Carnival sailings generally feature some formal nights in the same way that Royal Caribbean does – these formal nights are not enforced stuffy affairs. And once you switch, you may find yourself choosing Fun. If you usually enjoy young (at heart) informal cruising a la Royal Caribbean, MSC and NCL, I am convinced you will feel at home at Carnival too. In the same way, consider the Carnival ship/itinerary, the length of sailing and potential public holidays that might affect the sailing’s demographics. Many UK cruisers eschew Carnival for being ‘party boats’, not considering the fact that short P&O weekend sailings are a livelier than standard week-long cruises too. And they truly are, based on my cruises with them. So, no surprise that my first word is:Ĭarnival proudly call themselves Fun Ships. Just because to choose Carnival, is to Choose Fun. Let me share my love for the Vista-class with ten chosen F words, words featuring the letter F. sailing to the Mexican Riviera! Sounds like the perfect excuse to visit the West Coast and then sail away! Brand new Carnival ship on the US West Coast. But I am not excited over Panorama just for the ship but her new home too – Long Beach, California. I loved Panorama’s sister Horizon so I will l use my experience and photos of the ship to make my point on why YOU ought to keep Panorama in mind for the future. You’ll find out about those further in this piece. Those who have sailed on the two near-identical sisters (Vista and Horizon) will be very familiar with the new Panorama – although there are a few new changes. I was lucky to sail Horizon on the Mediterranean in spring 2018 – hence my excitement over the new Carnival Panorama. The earlier two Vista-class sisters spent some time cruising in Europe before sailing to their US homeports. Around the same size as MSC’s Fantasia class (Divina, Splendida etc). To give you a GT size comparison, she is a touch smaller than Royal Princess or P&O’s Britannia. Maximum passenger capacity is 4008 so she’s definitely not a megaship. At 133,000GT she is on the smaller end of modern cruise ships. She will be the 3rd and latest Vista-class vessel on Carnival’s fleet. The beauty that is Carnival Panorama recently passed her July sea trials with flying colours and is, at least right now, on schedule for the inaugural cruise in four months time. Who’s that girl? (Carnival Panorama and her class) August 11th, marked the start of the four-month countdown to the inaugural sailing of the brand new Carnival Panorama! A ship that is going to be firmly on my cruise wish-list, for all the fun onboard.
