Cruise News Updates for Today

Carnival Panorama Experiences Propulsion Issues

The slow boat to Mexico.

Carnival Panorama is experiencing issues with its cruising speed and will only make one port of its current sailing.

A letter from the captain to guests onboard read, “Regrettably, due to the reduced speed, we will not be able to visit Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan.”

It read, “However, we will be able to call on Cabo San Lucas Wednesday before returning to Long Beach Saturday.”

The journey from Cabo to Southern California is approximately 1,000 miles.

Guests are receiving $400 per stateroom as an onboard credit.

Carnival Panorama sails out of Long Beach, California, on seven-night Mexican Rivera sailings.

The ship entered service in late 2019 and will enter its first dry dock next summer.

Celebrity Cruises Introduces Celebrity Pass

Celebrity Cruises has introduced the “Celebrity Pass,” an optional VIP upgrade for guests offering enhanced benefits such as priority boarding, a special welcome lunch, upgraded Wi-Fi for two devices, waived room service fees, priority tender port access, and reserved theater seating.

This will set you back $32.99 per day.

The availability of the pass across the fleet or on select ships is yet to be clarified, though, by the emails on our tip line, it has popped up on quite a few reservations.

Princess Cruises Returns to Texas

Princess Cruises is back in Texas for the season.

Regal Princess started voyages from Galveston, Texas, as the largest Princess ship to be based there.

The Regal Princess will sail 21 voyages to the Caribbean through next March and expects to bring 75,000 passengers during the winter season.
