Don't you want to get him enrolled in the kids club first thing?

 I’m confused. It seemed like we did that when we checked in online. Do we also have to do something in person?

Boarding in 2 weeks! Where would you head on Panorama after boarding and hitting up the muster station? Looking for a quieter, non chaotic place to grab a cool drink, grab a bite to eat and relax until our rooms are ready. Thinking about the Pig and Anchor or maybe the Seafood Shack. Does anyone have a favorite place to go besides the Lido deck? 

I should also mention I have a 9 yo with me, so Serenity is out. On many ships, I would head to Cucina del Capitano when I boarded as a place relax. Not sure if that’s an option

I boarded on the Panorama March 26th, made Platinium that cruise too, super excited …yippie !!!

 

However, even though my time said 10:3-11:00am (chose early), it was easily past 11:30am when I walked through those doors and up those ramps to the ship.  

NOTE:  Priority” boards before A01, A02 etc etc… I was A01 and didn’t know that bit of info, until a couple ah-hum “nicely”told me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

 

 So, I foolishly blocked those “Priority” cruisers from standing with the mass of people …  all of whom were impatiently waiting for those magic doors to openz!

 

Future cruising —- I will be still sitting in my seat (in the waiting area) till my number is announced on all future cruises. Let the people jostling begin with me watching on the sidelines. 🤣
 

BTW, When we cruised on the Panorama in the Fall of 2021, we also were late getting off the ship. Again, over an hour wait to be called to debark. We always do the self-debark too.  
 

And that is my experience with 2 recent Panorama cruises. Oh, on the March 26th cruise, the the luggage arrived about 2:30.  I had a Corner Aft Wrap Havana Balcony, Deck 7, if that matters.  
 

All this won’t matter one little bit once you are onboard ❣️
😁😁😁

I can’t wait to get onboard! It’s been a long, tough few years for us and I want to show them a great time. Off topic, but since you were aboard so recently, did you happen to check out the piano bar? I’m really hoping for some fun evenings there. 
 

I really wish we could have gotten a Havana room but we’ll have to wait until the 8 yo turns 12. They really look fantastic!

My experience has been good in this arena. I had a few family members first time cruisers that were able to board with us. No one said a thing.  

 Yay! I want to give them the best impression I can. They were a bit hesitant to book a Carnival cruise, but it was the right time, right place and right price. I think I can convert them 🙂

You will be able to sign up for check in time 16 days in advance, being platinum. Since your niece is rooming with you, she's included.  The parents will be able to sign up for check in time 14 days in advance, since they aren't platinum, diamond, or suite.  They will not be able to share your check in time, unless they are able to choose it.  Being linked doesn't matter for that.  If you aren't in a big hurry to be in an early group, just sign up when they do, choosing the same time slot.  The early slots go rather quickly, especially if many priority folks are on your cruise and able to access check in times 16 days out.

Thanks for the help! 

In just a few short weeks, I’ll be boarding Panorama with my 8yo niece, and her parents. My niece is booked in my room, which I think gives her the same platinum perks as I have. It’s her and her parents first time on Carnival. How do we board? I realize the priority boarding is paused currently, but I’m mostly interested in staying together as a group anyways. Our booking numbers are linked. Does that mean when I start filling out my boarding information and get a time, my niece’s parents will get the same time? 
 

Thanks for any help! 

I was on Victory last week on a 4 day cruise. I bought it on boarding day, but they had the signs out and it was in the Fun Times the following day too. All the signs were gone on the third day.

I skimmed through the posts and I apologize if this was posted before. My pump died in the salt water once. I had a few syringes, but I should have brought more. If you have to, the insulin can be drawn up from the cartridge. The worst part was needing to inject the insulin every few hours, on a solo cruise, with no one to help wake me up every few hours. But I did it. Take that Type 1 DM!
