I’ve sailed on the Carnival Panorama three times, with my spouse and also with friends. I think it’s the best cruise ship for anyone on a budget, or who wants their own cabin.

I’m a frequent cruiser and have stayed in a variety of cabin styles over the years, from mini-suites all the way to interior rooms on the lower decks. I’ve done so on many ships on cruise lines including Carnival, Holland America, Norwegian, and Princess.
But I keep going back to the Carnival Panorama.
I’ve sailed on Panorama twice with my spouse, and we already have another sailing booked for later this year. Recently, I also traveled onboard with a friend, but opted to book my own solo cabin rather than share one.
While sharing a room and splitting the cost with another traveler is often the best way to save money on a cruise, I knew that wasn’t the case with the Panorama as the prices are low enough to afford on my own, and Carnival doesn’t charge a single supplement fee like most cruise lines do.
Here’s why anyone looking to book a cruise on a budget or travel solo should only consider the Carnival Panorama.
