HP1568 Posted September 14, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Can anybody explain what is wrong with the Panorama? Apparently it can’t travel at its regular speed? Not sure I want to be on a ship that is having mechanical issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAllenTCY Posted September 14, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2021 We sailed at 19.8 kph......instead of 20.7 kph (listed as maximum). David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Beach Bum Posted September 15, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Not sure if issues are fixed but we’re are staying in time so far this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
def0715 Posted September 15, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I received an email from Carnival a little while ago regarding changes to my Sept. 25 sailing. Haven’t really pored over them. Update: Says port order has been changed and port times have been modified. This is for 9/18 and 9/25 sailings, according to the email.

tallnthensome Posted September 15, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I was on it the week after it started ....it's just fine. No problem from start to finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
def0715 Posted September 15, 2021 #6 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Not sure what gives, but Carnival says the Panorama “is experiencing an issue that is affecting the ship’s maximum cruising speed.” Maybe they’re being super proactive? I hadn’t paid much attention to the order of ports or time in them but can’t imagine the changes are substantive. Glad y’all who are currently cruising haven’t had issues. I can try to post the email if anyone cares to read it. Edited September 15, 2021 by def0715 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsSweetie Posted September 15, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The only real downside to the port order changing is that your visit to Cabo starts really early and back on board time is 1:00pm. We experienced no problems due to the announced propulsion issue. As noted above on post #2, we did seem to be moving pretty well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
def0715 Posted September 15, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Thanks. Guess I should pay more attention. I think I have an excursion on my Cabo day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going Oct 16 but I feel like it will still have the modified itinerary so want to figure port days out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your schedule is reversed like ours was, then you will have 2 sea days - PV - Mazatlan - Cabo - 1 sea day. Puerto Vallarta - arrival around 9:00am - departure 8:30pm/9:00pm. I know that we were still docked when we went to dinner at 8:15 and it was sometime after that when sailaway started. Mazatlan - I think we arrived around 8:00am/8:30am - we had to report to excursion meeting place at 9:15 and the all clear for debark was given between that time and 9:45. Back on board time was around 4:30 or 5:00. Cabo San Lucas arrival was around 6:30am and I believe back on board time was 1:00pm. If your schedule is reversed as ours was then this is also your 2nd elegant night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj59 Posted September 15, 2021 #11 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Sometimes port order is changed to avoid overcrowding in Mazatlan and PV, which have limited docking room and if you have 2-3 huge ships in on the same day, it makes it difficult to manage ground transportation and excursions. HAL, Princess, NCL, and Celebrity will all be doing 7-nt Mexico this fall, and Carnival and Princess will also have separate ships doing the 5-day trips to Cabo. This is also hurricane season, and Panorama had to skip stops twice so far because of direct hurricane hits around Cabo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
