madera cruiser

I was sitting next to a lady on Panorama Thursday night who tried to cash out Promotional cash. A notice came up on the screen that said it wasn't allowed! I know this is different from what O.P. asked. Point is... the technology is there to block anything that wasn't played or won.

Only at your peril.

Can't stay ashore. Ship leaves and makes laps out in the ocean until the morning. What happens if it is too rough to tender the next day? Can you say "screwed the pooch"?

I get that. Supposedly the reason for the Cabo / PV itinerary swap was for the time to return. IIRC, we actually did PV last on our first Panorama sailing. Right before Covid. Just sayin'.

Sailed Panorama 3 times; have #4 booked. Pride, Splendor and Miracle had no problem sailing home from PV on time. Hopefully this downtime will fix it.

Pool deck or not... never seen buckets "on sale". For sale; yes. Buy some every cruise.

24 Carnival cruises and have never seen buckets o' beer on sale.

AND?

I sleep next to a woman who gets ticked off because there is so much Mexican food in Mexico! Go figure.

Excursion food is safe for everyone without a "snowflake" constitution. If people got sick on excursion food, that particular excursion would be out of business. Is the food on the ship safe to eat? Just sayin'.

If you cancel the sailing more than ONE YEAR before departure, there is no refund for the coverage. May be in the mouse print. I don't know.

Wifey and I will be on this same sailing! Milestone cruise for us and a retirement gift to me.

4 day Radiance. Trust me.

Ocean view on Panorama deck 8? Sure about that? https://www.carnival.com/cruise-ships/carnival-panorama.aspx?gclid=CjwKCAiA2fmdBhBpEiwA4CcHzbameXz6iS9CbMTwvjm7brFrOSdmnn2iQmVqpq3WkZarvdzlrcPnfxoCxbsQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#deck-plans

Never had Popeye's, but Shaq's is damn good. Gotta get the jalapeno slaw and some spicy bread and butter pickles.

Liked that ship as Victory... Love it as Radiance! Sailed in May and did the same Rosarito lobster excursion. Pedro is a great guide. did you stop and sample pulque?

It will be fine. We have done that cruise many times, but only once on Panorama. Pride once, Splendor twice and Miracle twice or thrice when they were here. My wife's birthday is in February, so... Heads up on weather. Since the port calls have been flipped, it is going to be chilly until mid dayish Sunday on the way down. Then the last seaday, after Cabo, probably going to be chilly. Nothing that a sweatshirt can't take care of. So sad that the Casino bar has been removed. Try JiJi's. Best food for the money anywhere!

Shaq's Chicken or anything from JiJi's Asian Kitchen.

Goat is very good. Somewhere between beef and lamb. We raised a few goats when I was a youngster. Unlike sheep, goats have a personality. It is hard to not make them a pet, when the animal is going to be harvested for food.

Curried goat and cumin rice on Panorama. Never have seen it before or since.

Why were they allowed in the first place?
