Calnev1 Posted August 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) The Panorama is stationary off of Mazatlan waiting for Hilary to pass. No way the ship makes it back to Long Beach by August 19 for its next cruise. I wonder how much extra food the ship carries when a scheduled seven day cruise turns into a cruise of nine or ten days or more.

Rare BlerkOne Posted August 18, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Plenty of food and I'm seeing an ETA of 13:30 on the 19thh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way the Panorama makes it to Long Beach by the 19th. Unless they want to surf Hilary's eyewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LaRue1975 Posted August 18, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Someone from my NYE cruise Facebook page is on the Panorama now and has said nothing about a change in itinerary due to the hurricane. Everything seems fine, he posted pics from Mazatlan yesterday and mentioned Cabo this morning. I think they are on schedule, it is the cruise departing Saturday that may have issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the Whatsinport live map is showing an erroneous position for the Panorama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6uqqq Posted August 18, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Cruise mapper shows the Panorama north of Cabo traveling at 20.7 knots. I guess their propulsion issue has been temporarily solved. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is the last time I use the whatsinport live map. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted August 18, 2023 #9 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Carnival Miracle is headed in the opposite direction which could be interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted August 18, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I always use Cruisemapper first. It seems to usually be accurate. And my daughter in San Diego is definitely getting comments about this hurricane. Her name is Hilary. 😉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would suggest they will be sailing into it head on. It might mean missing a port Edited August 18, 2023 by FastShip24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobie Posted August 18, 2023 #12 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I'm on the 8/19 Panorama cruise. Just received text message and e-mail that although our itinerary MAY be impacted, that we will be boarding the ship as scheduled tomorrow on Saturday, 8/19. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panorama should be able to turn around in Long Beach tomorrow without issue, but the 8/19 sailing is an issue. It looks like Panorama will have to go further west than normal to get around the storm. Tendering at Cabo may be an issue if the sea is still churned up even after the storm passes. The 8/18 and 8/21 Radiance sailings will likely both be affected. The first sailing may be delayed coming back, the second one will likely be shortened - although the last update I saw from CBS news, the rain may be done in the LA area by Monday morning. Hopefully those currently on Radiance parked their car in a location with good drainage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only prediction is they won't ride the storm out in port. Without a waiver, they have to stop in a foreign port or violate PVSA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a waiver, they have to stop in a foreign port or violate PVSA. I think Victoria and Vancouver may be a bit too far - either that or it might wind up being the only port. Since this is a round trip cruise, they do have to come back to Long Beach unlike most coastal cruises which are one-way. Even at 20 knots you're looking at a little over 2 full days of sailing to get to Canada. Canada also has strict admissibility standards that may preclude some guests from disembarking even if they agree to admit the ship due to the circumstances. I would think Carnival could get the PVSA waiver due to the weather. If Panorama can get around the storm they should be able to go to Mexico after the storm passes so it may not be necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted August 19, 2023 #21 Share Posted August 19, 2023 They certainly could go north. In 2009 when the swine flu scare cancelled Mexico, Splendor went north with stops in Astoria, Victoria and Vancouver. Fares were so cheap I did a B2B.

CBP can grant "exemptions" for voyages that violate the PVSA, but where the cause of the violation is outside the cruise line's control (weather, mechanical issues, war). 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
