In this episode of In The Kitchen With Matt I am taking the channel aboard the Carnival Panorama for a week long cruise to the Mexican Riviera. The cruise leaves the Port of Long Beach and the stops are in Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán, and Cabo San Lucas. I take you on a tour of the ship, and talk about the amenities, and other things to do, and of course I talk about the food! Is the food on Carnival any good? Watch and see! I even do a little pasta making demonstration which I did in the carnival kitchen.

Hi Matt! I just feel inclined to let you know you seems like a super genuine person! I’m glad you had a fun time and I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I had an amazing time and can't wait for my next cruise in early January! I will make a video of that too haha.
I’m glad you had fun, you deserve! 🎉
Thank you so much!! :)
Matt that was awesome. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much! You are very welcome!
Really great in-depth review Matt. I have been on 5 Carnival Cruises as an entertainer within a private group, also on sosme higher-cost cruise lines. Carnival remains my favorite because they have such a relaxed vibe. You have made me want to go again!
How about a cooking cruise led by you? Seriously.
Thank you!! That is awesome that you were an entertainer. A cooking cruise would be fun! Not sure how it would work though. For example the Carnival Kitchen is only for classes. But if Carnival would let me use their kitchen and teach that would be cool! haha
Matt, wonderful video. I hope you had a great time.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! I had such a great time! Can't wait to go on another one, haha.
Fabulous Matt, thanks for sharing
Thank you, Val! And you are very welcome!!
Good times! Brings back so many memories. Gonna have to cruise again some day. It’s been way to long since the last one.
Awesome!! Yes you got to go again sometime!
This brought back memories of the two cruises I went on in the early 1990s
Awesome!!
Nice! Cruises are my favorite
Thanks!! I am getting addicted to them haha, so fun!
Awesome video. Thank you.
Thank you so much!! You are welcome!
As someone who used to only do carnival and Disney I always remembered the free ice cream is at the red back thingy but then I thought I figured out a loophole! The next Disney cruise I went on I said “part of the back thing is red!” Then I was told, “that doesn’t work sadly”. 😂
hahaha
wow, thats great! just like the love boat show. my dad was a helmsman w merchant marines. steering a ship takes the cake.
Thanks! That is awesome your dad was a helmsman. And It always amazes me how these large ships can be steered so accurately.
Looks like a fun cruise! I see Doug!!
It was such a fun cruise! And yes that was Doug!
Super video. It reminds us of our more sedate cruises. But, yours showed so many activities on the ship itself. I can see why you are a cruisin dude
Thank you!! And yes I am definitely a cruisin dude haha
Thanks!!
You are very welcome!!
We have only sailed on Carnival Radiance from Long Beach. We are going on Panorama in October. Super excited! We get 2 days in Cabo.
Awesome! Have fun! Let me know how you like the Panorama hopefully this video didn't spoil anything haha
Wow! I have never been on a cruise. Glad you had fun!
Thank you!! If you ever get the chance do it! I did a 7 day cruise, but there are much shorter cruises as well, if someone just wants to try one out. Like a 3 day, 4 day, etc.
I've never been either...
But, making future plans for a 7 day cruise🚢😁
Awesome have fun!! You will love it!@@GodsObedientChild-Deuteron6262
Headed on the same cruise early November. For the $$ in my opinion you can't beat a cruise. Food entertainment place to sleep. Wake up in New locations. Perfect! Well my opinion anyhow.thanks 4 the vid
Exactly my thoughts! A very good value for everything that you get. Let me know how the cruise goes when you get back. Have you picked excursions yet? And you are welcome, thanks for watching!
it was fun criuse as my first time experiences, and i was your cook class partner it was very delicious pasta !! 😊
Fun cruise indeed! And Hello! You were a great cooking class partner! Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
Sounds like a great time! I never knew there was so much to do on a Carnival Cruise, it's almost like a theme park, and the headphone dance floor club is hilarious! 😂 Matt, do you ever get sea sick or queasy on one of these large ships? I always wondered if some people are affected.
It was such a great time!! So much to do, it is like a giant floating hotel and theme park rolled into one. I personally don't get seasick, but I also too non-drowsy dramamine each day just in case. People do definitely get seasick, however. They have a patch you can put behind your ear that helps, there are little wristbands that go on your wrist that trigger a pressure point that helps with some people, as well.
So glad you had an amazing experience on your vacation, it looks like you planned everything out well. I am glad you vacation didn't get ruined by any bad weather. So I am guessing you would recommend carnival, I've heard to go with Royal but I have a family so that might be why.
Thank you! Yeah carnival is great with lots of stuff for everyone. I hear other cruise lines are better for people looking for a more relaxed atmosphere and not as many small kids running around, etc. But Carnival is great for the price and what you get. Royal is a bit more expensive. But can't go wrong with either, I think. The one I booked in January is on Royal.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt oh nice I'll be looking forward to your review of Royal Caribbean
Great!! Yes I will definitely make a video of that cruise as well.@@22norac
Hello, loved your video so much.. Will be going to this exact one next week.. What excursions did you book?? I'm so lost on what to book..
Thanks and awesome, have so much fun! In Puerto Vallarta I did the Sea Safari which took use horseback riding, to a water fall, snorkeling and then to a private beach. In Mazatlan we did a tour of Mazatlan, which wasn't my favorite. I would do the Mini Speed Boats if I were you, that is the one I originally wanted to do. And in Cabo we just did our own, we didn't do one from the ship. Although there is a Camel Ride that we booked but didn't wind up doing.
Great video. You should do a channel just on cruising. Better video than 90% of the cruise vloggers!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!! I wish I cruised enough to start a separate channel for cruising haha, that would be awesome!
Hi there! We did this cruise Aug 12-19 this year. It was our first and loved it!! Have another booked for Jan.
Did you do your excursions through carnival or found them on your own?
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed your first cruise! Yep my excursions were booked through carnival. Except for the Cabo one, we just did that on our own as a group. Good times!! Awesome that you booked another one for Jan, I did as well haha.
Hi , Thank you so much for the video . I book the cruise for march break with my kid , can not wait ! Love Carnival ! To buy stuff on the Town is it better to have peso or they take american money ?
You are very welcome!! American money works great. I never convert to Pesos. But you could if you wanted to, but again, all the vendors accept US Dollars. Have fun on the cruise!
What’s the name of the activity you did with horses in the video?
It had a long name like "boat ride, horseback ride through town, snorkeling, and private beach" It was in Puerta Vallarta.
Thinking of doing this for spring break with my kids. 18,14,11. Would you suggest this trip? Thanks
Awesome! Yes I would definitely recommend this trip lots of things to do for all ages.
I went on a boat similar to that.
Awesome! I am actually currently on another cruise right this moment!
Talk about having to make reservations. Did you have to make any reservations for any of the shows? And besides the upcharge restaurants did you have to make any reservations for those
Nope all the shows were first come first serve, if you showed up 15 minutes early you usually could still get a great seat. And reservations are not required for the upscale up charge restaurants but recommended because the requested dates and times will be honored first. Then the rest is first come first serve. Good question!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt perfect! Thanks. One more question, You said you got the drink package. Could you get a drink and a soda or a drink and a bottle of water at the same time?
Hi, I think maybe you misunderstood me, I did not get the drink package, but would buy virgin drinks occasionally. But there are two different drink packages one that has pretty much just soda and water and the other that has alcohol. There are lots of water stations with filtered water so only get the lower tier if you like to drink soda. @@thebluetarp
What was the name of the excursion in PV?
It was the Sea Safari - Hidden Beaches, Horseback & Snorkel one! So fun!
Great review. Booked for December. I’m curious, how long was the car lineup to get in the terminal? We are wondering how much in advance to get in the Uber 😀 so as not to miss our boarding time.
Awesome!! So our boarding time was 1:00pm we left the airbnb which was 10 minutes away from the terminal at around 10:50am. Got there around 11am and waited in the car line probably 30 minutes because of all the traffic. We still actually got on board the ship earlier than 1pm though which was awesome. haha. Once we go into the terminal we just waited for them to call our boarding number which really didn't follow our assigned time. So if you get there early I don't think it is a bad thing. Give yourself an hour or two and you will be fine if not early.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thanks so much for the details!
You are welcome! And have fun!! Let me know how the trip goes.@@derbearcuba9170
I’m booked for April 2024. Gonna be so fun!
We did this same cruise but our room was a bust! We stayed in the Havana rooms aft and we never got to use our beautiful balcony because of all the soot from the smoke stacks would come back there and turn Everything Black and if you touched the railings or stepped out on the balcony your feet would turn black and you would drag it in all over the carpet beside the fact of trying to get the soot of your feet! It ruined a good outfit my wife had We didn't know this at first and when we sat down and got up it was like sitting in wet paint it was all over you. We complained and were told sorry but that's just how it is back there. So we Never got to use our beautiful aft balcony that we paid alot extra for.
Dang!! Sorry to hear that. I did notice one time on the back above the Havana pools in the evening the workers were taking away all of the lounge chairs and they said it was because of the soot. I didn't even think about how much that would suck for the Private Havana suites right below that. I was thinking it would have been cool to get those suites because of the private hot tubs with the great view. Were you able to use those very much?
@inthekitchenwithmatt we used them but every day there were chunks of soot in the pools and in the hot tubs. They would clean the havana back area every day they were constantly out there with mops and buckets mopping the floors. The lounge chairs would get soot on them too but not as much as the cabins above did. It really ruined the cruise because we could not even step outside when we got to another port or the cabin carpet would be black and stink and if you sat on the bed it would get all over the sheets so we just avoided the balcony. They cleaned our balcony 2 X for the whole cruise but if we were at sea it came right back within minutes.
Darn!! Especially for how much extra those rooms are for that private area. I would have been pretty mad too.@@bigguy1403
@inthekitchenwithmatt yup excatly...Don't waste your money on the Havana aft suites.
Definitely won't! Thanks for sharing, now I know not to ever try those.@@bigguy1403
Yeah got a pulmonia tour in mazatlan. So far that's it.
Cool!
What nights are the themed parties? Trying to plan accordingly, but unable to find this info anywhere. Thank you
Hi Charlie, I think it varies. But they always have 2 formal nights either Sunday or Monday night and then I believe Friday night which is the last night. Here is the main itinerary for the specific cruise I was on www.carnival.com/itinerary/7-day-mexican-riviera-cruise/los-angeles/panorama/7-days/mx7/ Things like the glow parties, may not always be going on.
Make sure to download the carnival app for your phone. Then log in and connect your cruise. It should give you the full hourly itinerary on it.
Thank you. App already downloaded.
Ok awesome, I can't remember how early they release the full day-to-day (hourly) schedule of events. Have fun on the cruise! My next one is the second week in January, Eastern Caribbean, trying out a Royal Caribbean Ship this time. @@charliesmith1325
what dates did you go?
This month Aug 12 thru 19
Are the excursions included?
No you have to book the excursions separately if you want to do excursions. They make it easy to do through their app, but still they cost extra. That is how pretty much all cruise ships work.
Thanks😊
You are welcome!@@MelitaSal
I hope you are able to write this trip off. 🎉
Definitely can write off some/most of it!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt living the dream 🥹
Indeed!!@@ChelseaRobson
7:22 giant hot dogs! 😮
lol are you talking about those safety boats? haha they do kinda look like hot dogs haha
How much should a cruise like this cost?
I spent a little less than $1400 for just the cruise itself for my own interior stateroom. But that doesn't include the insurance I got, travel to Long Beach, the excursions, the gratuity paid at the end of the cruise which is around $120, etc. When all was said an done if you include all the costs I probably spent $2200 or a little more for everything that I did. But if you want to explore on your own and don't do the excursions at port that will cut costs, if you share a stateroom with another person, that will drastically reduce the cost.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I have been looking at some cruises on vacations to go. I am finding some 6 and 7 day cruises for around $400-$500 per person. (plus gratuities and port fees.) this website seems to be a legit website. I have called them a couple times to ask questions. My wife and I and two kids have never been on a cruise.
