Long Beach…just sailed from there last month 

I have not done a b2b but would love to. I was on the Horizon last year and loved the ship. I would be happy to spend 2 weeks on it.

I was on the Panorama a month ago and had Marty. He and his entire fun squad staff were wonderful. Lots of energy and we saw him multiple times a day at various events or just walking around the ship. He was literally everywhere. We went to all the deck parties and everyone was dancing and having a great time. 
 

Definitely one of the better cruise directors I have had!

I was on Panorama a month ago and they started debarkation for self-assist at exactly 9:15. They called by muster station.  We had to wait a while before they called ours, debarkation was a bit of a mess. 
 

We were out of the building, through customs and in the parking garage area at 10:30.
 

I know that Platinum & Diamond got off earlier than 9:15.

I have never used Verifly- now that it says ready to sail how do I use it at cruise terminal - do they scan it, look at it? It has no QR code attached being in US. 

You show it to them when you’re checking in. About a month ago in Long Beach, the port agent asked me if we had done VeriFLY and then I pulled it up. 

I did the Tailgate Party class on the Panorama last month and I thought it was a lot of fun 

@Dwright826 I hope you were able to get this resolved and are having a wonderful cruise.

Is the shareholder credit the same whether you have 100 shares or 1000 shares? Or is there any kind of tiered credit?

It’s the same no matter how many shares you have

Hello,

Is there a minimum number of shares you need to have to qualify?

Thank you🙂

100

I just did the Panorama a few weeks ago and stopped in Cabo, PV & Mazatlan. I did not feel unsafe in any of those places.

Did you hear any noise from the galley? We are under it on the Panorama in August. Thanks!

we were not under the galley, we were under a corner of the dining room and never heard any noise from above.

Just got off the phone with carnival and they said that a temporary Id from the dmv will be excepted as long as it has a picture on it. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I don’t have any experience personally but I just found this on the Carnival website.  Good luck!
 

I just had a cove balcony on Panorama a few weeks ago and loved it! Be sure to check what is above you though as many of the rooms are under the galley. Also I heard that the coves at the front of the ship get a lot more spray from the water, ours was in the middle and never really got the spray. 

I am not sure about several bottles but I can tell you that I was on Panorama 2 weeks ago and purchased one bottle of wine at the 50% discount in the steakhouse on the first night. It didn’t even occur to me to ask for more than one.

How long did it last?  What was the highlight of the tour? Trying to find something for our cruise in November. 

 
It was about 3 hours. The whole thing was great, the guide was super friendly and informative. She provided some history about the area. There were 6 or 7 food stops. I think my favorite was the tamale, but honestly everything was delicious. We went to places that we would have never gone on our own because we don’t really speak Spanish. It was really interesting to go to where the locals go. I’m attaching a few pics.

Thanks for the quick reply! I can deal with anything but arrowhead springs! 

Have a great cruise on the Panorama!  Had a great time on her last week

Do you remember the water brand by chance? 

Crystal Geyser spring water…I remember it because that’s what I buy at home lol

Guys pig and anchor also has a complimentary bbq buffet on embarkation day and sea days

Was on the Panorama last week and our water was in the room at 1:30

I was just on the Panorama last week and the cruise director said there were between 4000 and 4100 guests and 1407 crew members. According to Wikipedia, maximum capacity at double occupancy is 4008.

I am currently waiting to get off the Panorama. It appears they started letting people off around 8:45 or so - I’m assuming priority guests. At 9:15 they started calling by muster station for people with their own luggage. Seems very disorganized. 

I just wanted to add that I was off the ship and in the parking garage at the terminal at 10:30…it took such a long time to get off. And I was carrying off my own bags.

I have a strange question… was your fundertots served cold? My husband’s on the MG came out cold- actually not hot. So he asked the waiter if he could have a hot one. The waiter took it back and brought him a hot one, but told him they are usually served cold.
 

Cold he thought they were disgusting, but hot he thought they were good. 

They were definitely hot. That is strange about them being cold.

I didn't see the tots on Miracle but tried the burger and it was enjoyable. I didn't ask for the tots at guys and didn't see a sign either so I'm not sure where to get them. On Panorama again next and will be sure to BOLO for the tots.  

the tots are available at the Guys Pig & Anchor Smokehouse/Brewhouse restaurant not the burger spot. They cost $5. 

Had the fundertots on Panorama last night…they were pretty good. 
 

also my boyfriend had the Funderstruck nacho burger from Guy’s and said it was pretty good but very heavy. I don’t have a picture of that item.
