Orchid Petal – Puerto Vallarta & La Paz

About this cruise

You sail from Los Angeles on October 9, 2027 and spend 8 nights visiting Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, La Paz and Cabo San Lucas. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. Cabo's beaches at one end, jungle-backed Central American ports at the other. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Carnival Panorama. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 8 more when you feel like treating yourself. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. 8 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
