Creator's Key Takeaways

I am coming to you from the high Regency Long Beach I know pretty fancy for me huh

I cannot wait to show you this I could not believe this Cruise terminal when I got inside I have never been in a cruise terminal so fun in my entire life

I have never ever in all of the cruises I've been on I've never seen a sailaway party so busy every single level here there are three entire decks full of people

I was really really surprised and actually I was really surprised in a positive positive way because I thought booking onto these cheaper cruises you wouldn't really get much talent but I was definitely wrong

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the cruise line's alcohol policy and consider bringing a sealed bottle of wine if allowed
Plan where and when you want to eat on embarkation day to avoid crowds, especially at the buffet

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Carnival ships being too busy and loudThe sailaway party was very busy and fun, but the ship's vibe is inclusive and energetic
Formal dress code on cruisesCarnival is casual; check the daily schedule for dress code, but it's generally relaxed compared to other lines

YouTube Video Description

#cruise #carnivalcruise #carnivalpanorama Today, I'm boarding my first ever CARNIVAL cruise ship in Long Beach, California, for a 7-night cruise to Mexico. I'm cruising on this ship as part of my itinerary spending most of the year at sea - I'm so excited to board a brand new cruise line! I've heard really mixed reviews on Carnival - some say that they're the best, while others have told me the ships are far too busy, and far too loud all of the time. Who will be right? Well, in this vlog series, we're going to explore every inch of this Carnival ship! I'm boarding Carnival Panorama, one of their Vista class cruise ships. She shares a class with ships including Carnival Vista and Carnival Horizon, so some things may be similar if you've cruised on these ships in the past!
