I think this is what we are going to do.

I noticed that one of the perks for being platinum is "Priority dining reservations". What exactly does that mean? If a specialty restaurant is booked do they miraculously find you a spot? If you have late dining and would prefer early but it is closed do they let you change anyway? I guess I am just trying to understand what they mean by priority.

We are on this cruise as well! Hope to see you around! 😃

I love the Spicy chipotle pineapple martini from the Alchemy bar. Not too spicy, but so good!

Thanks for posting this! We are in our first cove balcony next weekend and I have been going back and forth as to whether or not we should have kept our deluxe ocean view. All of your reasons sound like things that would matter to me, so I am not officially excited!

We are staying at the Comfort Inn as well. Is it really only a 2-minute walk as well? We will have my mother with us who has a bad knee and cannot walk very far. We planned on using an Uber, but if it is that close walking may be doable, even with luggage.

This is very helpful. Thanks!

This looks nothing like the Beef Wellington we had on the Magic. Ours was perfectly cooked medium rare, and was our favorite meal of the cruise. Yours just looks nasty.

The inch of gold seemed like a decent deal, until I priced out a 20-inch paperclip chain necklace. It was $7.99 an inch, so the whole thing was $160 which was ridiculous for a costume jewelry piece. I can get the same thing on Amazon for $29.99.

Panorama is my favorite ship. Thanks for sharing.

And Matcha. It tastes like dirt as well.

I know of someone banned for life just for disputing a charge on their credit card. I would be careful of taking them to court if you want to sail on them again.

Thanks for the link to the magnets. This will be my first cruise with a CPAP and I was looking for some hooks to keep the extension cord off the floor. These should work just fine.

My all-time favorite movie!

I enjoyed reading your review. We really liked the Magic, other than the convoluted way you have to go to access the one and only elevator to the Serenity deck. It was not easy to find!

I agree. I received an upgrade offer from deluxe ocean view to cove balcony for $190 which I took. About a month later I received another upgrade offer from cove balcony to regular ocean view all the way forward for $392!! WHY would anyone take a crappier room and pay an upcharge for it?

Great review! Thanks for posting.

Not always, I gave up a deluxe ocean view with 2 bathrooms because I was offered a balcony for only $142 more. I looked on the deck plans and it seemed like it was under the MDR, but it turned out it was under the galley. We heard carts dragging above us starting at 3:00 am. Lesson learned. The ironic thing is that I got another upsell offer for a different cruise offering me an oceanview for $260 more when I already had a balcony. That didn't even make sense.

Great review! Panorama is our favorite ship so far, and I agree with all of your assessments.

Do you ask for Jenny? 🤣

Perhaps comprehension isn't your strong suit. If you go back and look you will see that I acknowledged that it was two different countries. Perhaps you are unaware that they are on the same island though, and it may not be that difficult to move from one end of the island to another. After all, they did manage to escape from prison. Also, it is not mandatory that you stay in Amber Cove, which I also addressed.

I totally agree. Funfetti cheesecake was my favorite.

Sadly, I would have to agree with you. We tried at least 2-3 different ones every day and only a couple were really good. All the chocolate ones, (and there were a lot!) tasted exactly the same to me. It was a little disappointing.

Bring Poo Pourri. It eliminates the need for air freshener and it is much smaller to carry on.

It's not just you. It's been hit or miss with us the last couple of cruises. If the line is short we just go to Guest Services and save ourselves the aggravation.
