Also a solo cruiser, I have been on Panorama several times out of Long Beach. Carnival Diamond status. Appreciate your professional quality of reviews. One small note, I never miss the Lido lunchtime gelato offering on the Lido. You really covered everything else I savor. I'm currently booked on next week's 18-day repositioning to Asia for Panorama's dry dock in, I think, Singapore. Then back to Long Beach. Thanks for adding to my list of faves.
That's an incredible price, even if you add in your extra spending. I go for a balcony because I have to take breaks in my cabin without all of the noise, color, and people, so I'm jealous! I'm really enjoying your channel. It's good to have someone specifically talking about solo cruises most of the time. You address things that those cruising with one or more people don't think about.
@@KarynHill thank you so much for taking time to watch and comment. I love the solo adventure and always try to have an eye for detail to help others. And yes, that price was one of the best I’ve ever paid.
I love the Panorama! I went a year ago last April with my son and had a blast! I usually get an interior cabin but on this Ship for a little more you can get a walkway view all the way forward on deck ten! I’m disabled and the cabins are huge and you have access to the secret deck! TY!💙💙💙
Great video! Been spending weeks deep diving into Carnival cruise deals and reviews on Reddit but those explanations couldn't match your video. Ended up getting a 6 day on the Panorama in Nov for my wife and 3 kids for $2500 with tax and tip! We're all pumped and made a list of things to do after watching this video.
@@eFiggidy nothing makes me happier than hearing feedback like this. I’m so glad you found value in the video. Appreciate you watching and happy cruising to you!!
@@SoloCruiseTravel Yep, back to back years for my birthdays. First was solo with me and my partner. Second was with a host of family and friends. They were both amazing trips.
Really great video! We have a family honeymoon cruise coming up soon on Panorama! This video is well done, this will be our first time going out of L.A. and on Panorama 😊
I have been on larger and smaller ships on Carnival, and find your review the best I have seen on this platform. I'm schedule for my cruise in Dec. and look forward to all of the items you covered. Thank you.
@@williamkent2684 it brings me great joy to hear that’s how you feel about my video, thank you so much. I appreciate the time you took to watch and provide your thoughts. Wishing you a fantastic December cruise!
im someone who has to be able to look out of a window at least but now im starting get over my fear of being close in cause of you videos thank you so much for sharing
@@shuyizhuang455 thanks for watching. JiJi’s does build your own Wok Bowls with a handful of options to choose from on a sheet that you mark and they will serve it to your table. Same format at Cucina put it’s a build your own pasta bowl. It’s first come first serve and JiJi’s is a smaller space so it fills up fast.
Enjoy your details about all the dining/eating places. Alas, it all seems so incredibly meat heavy. What’s a solo vegan to do? I didn’t see anything I would eat. Nothing but fruit. Do they have tofu and plant-base options? That scares me. I’d like to know if certain cruise lines will accommodate a vegan or if it’s a total hassle for them and me.
They cater to Vegan. Just let your server know or if you are at the buffet stop by the podium and ask what the options are, they are happy to show you around.
I’m not vegan but someone in our party was. They have options. The buffet and main dining have a number of meatless items also the Blue Iguana can make a killer vegan burrito.
Your video was very helpful. What month did you travel? I have an opportunity to travel Nov 11th-16th but want to avoid the storms and hurricane season.
@@BEConnection7 thanks so much! This ship is typically docked on the west coast and thus almost never faces any significant weather events as long as it’s going to the Mexican Riviera. I’ve been on the Panorama in April, August, November and January and they’ve all been great. August was just a lot more humid was all.
@@SoloCruiseTravel Yes, it was going to the Mexican Riviera. THANK YOU this helps me make my decision. Your videos is the best by far from all of the others I viewed. You Rock
@@BEConnection7 such a nice thing to say. Thanks again for taking time to watch and comment. If you know of any other cruiser out there who might find a benefit in this content, feel free to pass the channel along.
Thanks for your video. Is very well done. One thing it shows me is how carnival ships are all the same basically. The upsells are all the same. It’s time to switch cruise lines. I’ve been on carnival too many times.
@@FetchTheSled you definitely know what you’re going to get on most, that’s for sure. I think some people really like that consistency. Thanks for watching!
@@chris-jw4sx you’re welcome to your opinion but that doesn’t change the facts. It was a last minute deal and I got lucky. Haven’t seen similar pricing since, that’s for sure.
Have you ever taken a cruise on the Carnival Panorama before? OR have you ever been on a Vista Class ship??

@@azrich2463 sounds like an incredible cruise ahead, wishing you a safe and fun journey. Thanks for watching!
I have been on the Panorama twice. 2020 and 2022. Both on Halloween. Going on it next year in the middle of May. I am a solo cruiser.
@@SingleandFreeTillsomeone-mu6qm Have a fantastic Spring solo cruise!
Been on Panarama once, Vista twice and Horizon once. My favorite class of carnival ships!

@@cblack1964 what a great tip. Thanks!
Thanks for the video Have done 5 different cruise lines. Working on others. Looks like carnival has the best one to cabos on the panorama.

@@Lahst happy to hear that. Thanks for the feedback.
First solo cruise coming up on panorama in Nov! So excited. Thanks for a great video!
@@203Bernabei oh wow, you’re gonna love it! Wishing you the best cruise. Thanks for watching.
Thanks! Turn Gold on that one… Thought I would do it alone☺️
@@203Bernabei well done!
I love the Panorama. I’ve cruised on it twice and both experiences were great.
@@thatsgoodpie that’s fantastic to hear. Were both trips to Mexico?
@@SoloCruiseTravel Yep, back to back years for my birthdays. First was solo with me and my partner. Second was with a host of family and friends. They were both amazing trips.
@@thatsgoodpie how cool
That’s wild. Before any add ons, the same cruise for my family of four is $6k this winter between Christmas and New Year’s.
OUCH. Well, I am not totally shocked. After all, that's in the top three most in-demand weeks of the calendar year for cruising!
Really great video! We have a family honeymoon cruise coming up soon on Panorama! This video is well done, this will be our first time going out of L.A. and on Panorama 😊
@@QueenSuperJ oh how fun! She’s a great ship. And thank you for the kind words. Where are you coming from to board her?
@@SoloCruiseTravelwe are coming from Chicago! 😊

What kind of go pro accessories are required for the rope course and the sky ride ??
Thanks for the informative video! Could you share more about the free options during lunch at Giji and the Italian restaurant?

Is it easier as a solo traveler to obtain specialty dining reservations or more difficult?
@@jackcampbell4465 I’ve never had an issue obtaining specialty as a solo. Always smooth.
@@SoloCruiseTravel Thank you!
You mentioned birth cerificate, do you not use a passport to travel?
@@gambla1823 I don’t when it’s North America.
@SoloCruiseTravel oh ok. Great review!! You have the perfect voice for doing reviews .
@@gambla1823 why thank you!
What was the price for a Lobster roll, and was it any
good?
@@pasha21k at the time of filming the Lobster Roll was $12 and was pretty big. Definitely packed full of meat. I would get it again.
@@SoloCruiseTravel Thank you for answering, your videos are excellent. $12 is a cheap price, we pay $24 now.
@@pasha21k update for you. The lobster roll is now $18.
