YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Here's the story of our recent 7-day Mexican Riviera cruise on Carnival Panorama. We had a great time relaxing onboard in the exclusive Havana pool area, and eating Guy Fieri food all week long. Plus, during our stop in Puerto Vallarta, we had a big adventure to the little beach town of Sayulita. This is the third of three videos I've created about my cruise on Carnival Panorama. The first video explained things you need to know before booking this cruise, plus information you'll find useful in preparing you for what to expect onboard. The second video was a tour of the unusual cabin we stayed in: a Havana Suite. That video also gave you a look around at the Havana pool area. This video just shows you all the fun things we did during our 7-day cruise... with an emphasis on the food by celebrity chef Guy Fieri. Not only does Carnival Panorama feature his hugely popular burger joint, but also a specialty restaurant where you can get delicious barbecue food as well as an inexpensive appetizer that I can't get enough of: trash can nachos. I know with 100% certainty that I'll get mocked in the comments by people who are shocked that I ate a steady diet of Guy Fieri comfort food all week long and never once set foot in Carnival's main dining room. Hey, you cruise your way and I'll cruise mine! In the section of the video about visiting Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita, I mention the local guide and driver that my sister and brother-in-law have used for years during their stays in Puerto Vallarta. His name is Archivaldo Uribe Macedo, but you can call him Archie. Do a search for "Archie's Guided Tours" on Facebook, or email Archie at archieuribepv@gmail.com, or give him a call at 044-322-150-5122 If you're interested in cruising with me on Carnival's next new ship, the Mardi Gras, head over to JimZim.net/MardiGras for more information about our 2021 group cruise.
