This travel vlog is the story of our February 2022 cruise on Carnival Panorama, a cruise ship that offers Mexican Riviera cruises out of the Southern California area.

In this video, I take you day by day through our activities during the week were were aboard... showing you the fun and relaxing things we did each day, and showing you what we ate from the many restaurants onboard.

It had been two years (and a global pandemic) since the last time we had been on this excellent cruise ship, and the main thing I found myself dreaming about during those two years was the Guy Fieri food that this ship offers. I can't get anything like it back at home, so it was the main thing I ate when we were onboard.

The video also focuses on the Havana area of the ship... a place with two hot tubs, a swimming pool, a sun deck, and a bar... all for the exclusive use of only a small number of guests who have paid a little extra for access. Because access to this area is limited to only the guests with a cabin in the Havana area, the pool, hot tubs, sun deck, and bar are all un-crowded... a very desirable thing on a cruise ship with thousands of people aboard.

Just so you know... this cruise was not provided to us by Carnival in exchange for a positive review. We paid regular price for this cruise and Carnival had no say whatsoever in the content of this video.

If you're interested in booking a cruise with Carnival, or any cruise line... feel free to use the services of my travel agent, Caitlin Gallagher. Her services don't cost you anything at all, as her fees are paid by the cruise line. She can make things easier for you by taking care of some of the annoying details of setting up your cruise, and she's there for you when needed to resolve problems with your booking. I always have Caitlin book my vacations for me because it's much better to have her be the one stuck on hold with a cruise line or a hotel than for me to do it!
