I just read that AnnaMaria is at Alchemy. If she is going to be there a while, I will definitely book a cruise soon. I love that Panorama is on the Westcoast.

Have fun!

[luvcruzing]

Looking forward to this.  Thanks.

[itchintocruise]

Okay, lets get started.

 

We hope to make this a fun filled review of our adventure. Nothing to serious. Hopefully entertaining and mildly sarcastic. Anything we post should be viewed with a high degree of skepticism and fact checked on your own time. We will certainly try to answer as many questions as possible, time permitting and WIFI cooperating.

 

Quick Background: 

Party of 4 adults of questionable sanity. Mom, Dad and 2 daughters (55,51,26,22)

We cruise approximately once per year and primarily on Carnival. This is not our first rodeo. 

Third time on Vista class ship, so no big surprises expected. I'm guessing more cosmetic differences. We are anticipating some growing pain as this is only the third revenue generating cruise, but hopefully she still has that new car smell.

Anna Maria is our favorite bartender and it is one of the reasons we picked this sailing.

Let's just hope we don't end up with all five cats and the dog in the suitcase when we arrive in LA.

Hey Itchin!  I saw you were up for questions :)  I started thinking about booking the Panorama when I read about the Havana area.  My understanding is it would be a Cuban themed area with Cuban drinks, Cuban music at night and Cuban snacks/food available.  I'm wondering if they are doing that - I haven't read anyone say they are on reviews of other ships with a Havana area.  I did book a long time ago and was curious if they've abandoned the concept and it's just another bar area with a decorative theme, but not much else Cuban.

 

Thanks in advance and have a great cruise - we'll be on her Valentine's week.

First time with Priority Boarding as we turn Platinum on this cruise.
