Just back from the Dec 30th sailing on the Panorama.
Well, no flawless embarkation. Weather did have a factor. We had a suite and should have been able to enjoy the lounge before boarding. No, it was full. Waited like cattle to board.
I do not give Carnival any glowing points. The shows were less than entertaining, the food was mediocre, Havana bar played the same very loud music every single night, the Havana pool was drained during one port day and part of a sea day, water in one hot tub in Havana area was so hot very few people got in, we all mentioned the temperature, nothing was done to lower the temperature. The Havana pool was cold, no one used it.
Disembarkation was just a cluster. The crew acted as if they had never done this before.
Our cabin person was very helpful and a bright spot in a cruise that was disappointing. Lesson learned, no more Carnival for us.
