Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Carnival-Panorama

In a significant disruption, several vessels operated by Carnival Cruise Line suffered severe IT system failures over the weekend, with repercussions felt throughout the morning of February 9, 2026. These technical difficulties led to extensive embarkation delays and compromised onboard services across multiple ships. Notably, at least seven Carnival ships, including the 'Carnival Celebration', 'Carnival Pride', 'Carnival Sunshine', 'Carnival Venezia', 'Carnival Spirit', 'Carnival Liberty', and 'Carnival Panorama', remained docked beyond their scheduled departure times on the night of February 8. The 'Carnival Celebration', which was originally slated to leave Miami at 3:30 p.m. for a week-long Caribbean cruise, eventually set sail around 1:00 a.m., resulting in a delay of over eight hours.

On August 20, 2025, at 8:15 p.m. PDT, the Carnival Panorama experienced a significant tilt while navigating through a severe thunderstorm near Mazatlán in the Gulf of California. This incident occurred on the third night of its week-long Mexican Riviera cruise, which had set sail from Los Angeles on August 16 with a scheduled stop in Mazatlán on the 20th. As the ship sailed towards La Paz, reports indicated that broken plates littered the dining area, and water cascaded from ceilings and elevators, trapping some guests inside. Additionally, flooding reached several inches above the balcony sliding doors, and shattered glass was found at an outside bar. Despite the chaotic scene, the ship’s captain adeptly maneuvered the Carnival Panorama to calmer waters, stabilizing the vessel. Crew members swiftly attended to passengers, ensuring safety and cleanup. Nine individuals visited the ship's medical facility, with all injuries deemed non-serious and stable. However, two guests were later referred to a hospital for further evaluation upon arrival in La Paz on August 21. While most elevators resumed operation shortly after, a few remained under repair. All other systems on board functioned normally, ensuring the safety and comfort of the remaining guests.
