We booked an 8-day Carnival Panorama Mexican Riviera cruise with four incredible ports: Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán, La Paz and Cabo San Lucas. What did we actually get? ZERO of those four ports. 😳 What followed was one of the strangest cruises we’ve ever taken: itinerary changes, canceled ports, unexpected sea days, a replacement stop in Ensenada — TWICE — and a route through the Pacific that looked less like a cruise itinerary and more like somebody handed the captain an Etch A Sketch. 😂 In this video, we take you through The Great Mexican Riviera Cruise That Wasn’t — from what we originally booked, to the first changes before embarkation, to the moment the remaining itinerary fell apart and our Mexican Riviera adventure became something none of us expected. But here’s the thing… Despite all the chaos, we still had eight days aboard Carnival Panorama, and we were determined to make the best of them. Was the cruise ruined? Were Carnival’s decisions justified? And after everything that happened… would we do it again? 👀 WATCH CLOSELY: We’ve hidden a couple things in this one for those who stick around — including the infamous “Etch-a-Sketch Cruise” reference and some, shall we say, less-than-flattering words for the Hotel Director. 😂 You’ll have to watch to find them. Welcome aboard the cruise we’ll be talking about for YEARS. The Great Mexican Riviera Cruise That Wasn’t. ⚓ Carnival Panorama 🇲🇽 Mexican Riviera… technically ❌ 4 original ports ❌ 0 original ports visited ✅ Ensenada ✅ Ensenada AGAIN 🌊 A whole lotta sea days 😂 One unforgettable adventure If you enjoy cruising, travel, honest cruise experiences and watching two people figure out how to have a good time when the plan completely falls apart, subscribe and come adventure with The Beauty and The Beard! #CarnivalPanorama #CarnivalCruise #MexicanRiviera #CruiseVlog #CruiseNews #TBATBA
