Adverse weather conditions cause delays to Carnival Panorama

The Carnival panorama experienced a setback on its scheduled arrival in Long Beach, California on Saturday after completing a seven-day cruise on the Mexican Riviera.

This delay was mainly due to adverse weather conditions, which had a significant impact on the ship’s itinerary.

In response to the situation, Carnival Cruise Line’s brand ambassador, John Heald, updated guests on the delay and its potential impact on the embarkation process for the next cruise.

John Heald, Carnival Cruise Line Brand Ambassador: “Carnival Panorama – For those of you sailing her today, I hope you are ready to see the best of times. However, I wanted to let you know (in case you haven’t received the email) that the ship is experiencing adverse weather conditions sailing back to Loooooooooong Beach and will be arriving later than scheduled this morning. This can now affect embarkation. We will be providing an update to guests by 8:00 a.m. PT this morning.”

It is not certain whether the mentioned update has been sent and when embarkation for the following cruise will now begin.

Nevertheless, guests on board the Carnival panorama began disembarkation at 11:00 am provided they were able to take their own luggage. Disembarkation for those in need of assistance began at 12:00 p.m. At 1:15 p.m., all guests were asked to disembark.

Bad weather between Cabo and Long Beach

Carnival panorama‘s cruise was reportedly going fine until the ship left Cabo San Lucas. The weather was windy and not that warm, with pools open, but too cold and windy to enjoy.

The sky ride, high ropes course and waterslide were all closed after the ship left Cabo and the entire day at sea on March 24th was not pleasant. In the buffet area, too, the guests didn’t want to sit close to the door because it was too windy.
