Miami (TAN): Carnival Panorama, the newest ship from United States-based cruise company Carnival Cruise Line, has completed its sea trials in the Adriatic Sea earlier this week.
It is all set to debut from California state’s Long Beach on December 11 to become the company’s first new ship on the West Coast in two decades. The ship, presently undergoing final touches at Marghera, Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard, was tested by experts.

“Carnival Panorama is a wonderful addition to the fleet, and she passed all of her maneuvers and tests with flying colors. We can’t wait to welcome guests aboard this beautiful ship,” Carnival Panorama Captain Carlo Queirolo said.
Guests will be able to choose from the tropics-inspired Havana area with colourful rooms that comes with its own Cuban-themed bar and pool, family harbor with extra-spacious rooms and the Family Harbor Lounge, and Cloud 9 rooms with additional amenities, for accommodation on the ship. Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse Brewhouse will rustle up barbeque dishes for guests on board.
Carnival Panorama will also feature the first Sky Zone trampoline park at sea, a new ChooseFun WaterWorks aqua park, and NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal.
