Returning with coffee and changing up, we were off by 9 am. The ship sails five-night voyages that offer overnights in Cabo San Lucas. Carnival Cruise Line's west coast Mexico cruises sail from the port of Long Beach, which is a fun destination in its own right, with beaches, water sports and the Aquarium of the Pacific. Cozumel is proof that Mexico can do ‘island flavor’ with the best of the Caribbean. It may not be the biggest island in the sea, but Cozumel offers a huge variety of things to do, see, taste and explore. This island just happens to be perched atop a coral reef, which promises hours of snorkeling or scuba diving fun.
Long Beach (Los Angeles)
In fact, the only time we saw a crowd here was during football as there are several large screen televisions to watch the game. So, we each tried one of the signature cocktails on the menu. While we did not join the main dance floor, we certainly rocked out to the 80’s tunes along with some drinks from the BlueIguana tequila bar. With two sea days in a row, we had plenty of items we wanted to accomplish over the next 48 hours. Our ferry back actually took us right to the ship like a tender, as we were among the last cruisers to board the ship.

Three Carnival ships—the Carnival Miracle, Carnival Panorama, and Carnival Residence— cruise to Mexico from Los Angeles and San Francisco. Norwegian Cruise Line sails to Mexico from California, Florida, and New Orleans. Between the varied itinerary offerings and ship amenities, time and again I have found that Panorama has something for everyone.

Tomorrow was our first port of call in Cabo San Lucas, and we needed to be prepared for an action packed day. As luck would have it, all three pieces of our luggage had already been delivered. That meant that after we finished our cabin tour, we were able to unpack and get the room situated for our 7-night voyage.
A mix of common cruise songs and pop music, the deck party lasted until about 11 pm. Once the party dispersed, we returned to our room to prepare for our next port of call, Mazatlan. We grabbed another round of cocktails at the Panorama Bar on Deck 3 and took our drinks with us to find some better seats in the main theater for tonight’s show. Tonight’s performance was Soulbound, a mischievous and enchanting tale of voodoo. While the Princess enjoyed this show, I did not like it at all. Finishing up my adventures, we caught the very end of the Lip Sync Battle Tryouts on the pool deck.

For diving and Mayan ruins, opt to cruise Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Dive into the deep blue water in Cozumel, walk a beach free of high-rise hotels in Costa Maya, or walk in the footsteps of the ancient Mayans in Tulum. I enjoy pool deck parties and waterslides and joining a trivia challenge, but I also really appreciate taking time out to simply enjoy an ocean view for a few quiet hours on my own. Next, to round out our drink around the ship, we stopped in to the Heroes Tribute bar on deck 4. This is a brand new venue for the Carnival Cruise Line fleet.
Cramming Everything into the Final Day
I did the surf and turf for my entree and thought the steak was pretty average. The lobster was well prepared, but the serving size felt small for a specialty restaurant. The sides were on par with the main dining room, and the desserts were average as well. We still think that the best cruise ship steakhouse is Fine Cut on Celebrity Edge. Dinner took nearly two hours tonight, and the service was rather inconsistent. If you have been reading our reviews for a while, you know that on the first day of our cruise, we always explore the entire ship.
Our entrees were tasty as well, with the Kung Pao Chicken and Hakku Noodles being our favorites. The head chef came over twice to our table to make sure we were enjoying the food and to see if we wanted to order any additional items. For a $15 per person cover charge, we think this specialty dining venue is a great casual option.
Carnival Panorama Mexican Riviera Cruise Review – Day 7
With three sea days, cruisers have plenty of time to enjoy the ship. The best part is that this floating thrill ride cruises this itinerary year-round. Panorama has so many great activities night and day, which is why I keep coming back to this cruise ship. But sometimes I want a break from the buzz, and that's when I head to the Serenity deck. We have just returned from 7 fun-filled nights sailing on Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ship, Carnival Panorama.

There’s also a teen spa, video arcade and enough room to play soccer, basketball, and volleyball on board. With more than a dozen restaurants, there’s something for even the most discerning junior palate. There’s even a green eggs and ham breakfast to go with a Seuss at Sea experience inspired by the famous author’s books. The sit-down cycle follows a suspended track above the upper deck where guests pedal their way along the track at their own pace. I have yet to see a big line form for this free attraction that is offered all day on port days and sea days alike. It can be tough to secure a deck chair beside the pool on sea days, but I've never seen a line form to enter the pool or thought it felt overcrowded once inside.
The ship is fresh off a major renovation with a new spa, pool, and fitness center. Every bathroom on board has gotten a makeover and comes stocked with L’Occitane toiletries. The Star Legend is scheduled to set sail from Miami in the spring. Windstar's Jungles and Jewels of the Central American Coast itinerary sails roundtrip from Miami, stoppings in Key West en route to Cozumel and Costa Maya. Set sail from the West Coast to experience the beaches and nightlife of Cabo San Lucas, stroll the boardwalk in Mazatlan, or dig your toes into the sand in Puerto Vallarta.
The entire event lasted about an hour, and it was a great way to top off the cruise. Finishing up by around 7 pm, we had a few remaining items to attend to for the cruise. The menu did not feature the Princess’ go-to turkey dinner, a last night staple on Royal Caribbean.
