Reviewer read
A strong ship by most measures. It falls behind on disembarkation.
Carnival Panorama rates higher overall than 81% of the ships we track. Cabins is its strongest showing. The weak spot is disembarkation.

The one caution
8.5out of 10 for disembarkation
Higher than only 26% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.80.
Everything else, in two lines
Nine are good without being remarkable: cabins, entertainment, activities, service, ship quality, value, dining, fitness and public areas. They rate higher than 52% to 88% of ships.
Family sits in the middle of the fleet too, but only 51 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Two fall below the fleet: embarkation (higher than only 27% of ships) and disembarkation (higher than only 26% of ships).
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.63 and 8.82. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
