We have cruised out of Long Beach for many years also as many have stated. We took the Panorama out in October in 2021. Beautiful ship, it seemed classy to us, something out of Vegas like Aria. A few months later we were on the Miricale in March of 2022. When we got onto the ship my wife almost cried. She was in shock between the 2 ships. The good news is that by the time we were done on the Miracle she loved it. This all goes back to what you want to make out of your vacation. I would be more than happy to be on a cruise ship than being at work any day!!!
