Booking the cheapest cruise we could find for our family of four paid off. Here's what the food, room, and costs were like on the Carnival Panorama.
Our family of four booked the most budget-friendly cruise they could find, and it turned out to be one of their best vacations ever. Ella Rachel Kerr expected low-quality entertainment and food, given their $466 per person price tag, but was pleasantly surprised by the high-quality buffet and assorted sit-down restaurants on board.
The family settled into a pleasantly spacious balcony cabin, which provided a great oasis for evening relaxation. With young children in tow, the ship offered ample activities, both kid-focused and adult-friendly, to keep everyone occupied without incurring extra charges. To save money, the family opted to explore the port cities on their own, visiting playgrounds, coffee shops, beaches, and taco stands.
While the cruise wasn't without its challenges, it proved to be a stress-free and memorable family adventure.
