We have bought some blue diamonds from Bliss Jewelers a couple of times. Super nice, non pushy people, and they will send you a Christmas card every year for the rest of your life! LOL I think I have gotten one about 20 years in a row!

Thank you! I was able to order the $100 cards, but it looks like they are still out of $500 cards.

I have searched the AARP website and cannot find where to order the cards, Can someone help?

I'm really enjoying your review. We are not on the Venezia until May, but I am already taking notes on where I want to have dinner. Teppanyaki looks great!

He really committed! Even his shoes match!

Following along! I would love to see Greenland.

Magic is on the list. The new menu starts on 10/22.

Last year on the Panorama they opened up one of those folding walls between the steakhouse and piano bar and let us listen to Geoffrey Mung who was playing there. He was outstanding! He plays classical covers of vintage rock songs along with a lot of original content. Hands down my favorite performer that I have seen on any ship.

Last March on the Panorama we did self-disembark so we could get off early and we still did not get off until almost 10:00. We got into port on time, but there was some delay with the ship being cleared by customs. It was incredibly annoying. I have no idea what time everyone else got off. but there were a whole lot of people still on the ship when we left.

Thanks for the balanced review! It's nice to hear that your waits for anytime dining were pretty short. Did you ever go later than 5:30, and if so, what was your wait time then?

Can you tell me which excursions you did? I am having a hard time choosing because of all the bad reviews.

I would love to see them as well. I am assuming the first 7 days are the same as the rest, but I am curious about that 8th day.

Hi all! My husband Steve and I just booked this cruise. It will be our first time leaving from New York, so we are excited about that. Now to find a hotel for the night before...

We just did Old Lahaina Luau last month and it was about $900 for the 4 of us.

Or will they just use the same additional menus they've always used on longer cruises? Thoughts?

Until then, you can make it yourself. https://www.food.com/recipe/carnival-cruise-strawberry-bisque-395838

Really enjoying your review! It brings back lots of fun memories of our trips! We hung out in he piano bar most nights--it was always entertaining.

I totally agree! We did this same cruise in March and October, and on both cruises those last sea days were cold and windy. We were not prepared at all for that.

We've been on Panorama twice and really enjoyed it. Hope you did as well!

Does anyone know which ones are close-ish to the cruise ship dock? I want to make sure we have plenty of time to spend there, including travel time to get there and back. I believe we dock at the pier in the downtown area.

Great start! Panorama is one of my favorite ships.

I do that, too. We like being on board as early as possible

Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to reading the rest.

Agreed. I would throw in the Tiramisu and the confetti cheesecake from the Lido as well.

Thanks for the review! It's so nice to read something positive about the Magic. We are sailing on it for the first time in November and really looking forward to it. We have a similar itinerary, although we are going to St. Thomas instead of St. Kitts, which is disappointing. What was your favorite dish at Cucina? We've only done the steakhouse so far, so we are going to try Cucina this time.
