We have cruised out of Long Beach for about 35 years and been on just about every ship that goes out of there - can't think of one we haven't at the moment. Panorama is vastly different than the Radiance and the Miracle. I can't say we had bad times on the Radiance and Miracle, we knew the ships, no specialty restaurants, smaller, etc., the Panorama is a fairly new ship (we went on one of their first cruises) with lots of specialty restaurants, bars, outdoor spaces set up to enjoy the outdoors more. We are booked on the 9/3 cruise and I am looking forward to trying her again. Also, understand that no ship seems to be up to pre-pandemic level, mostly due to lower staffing, but that will be any ship, any line.
