An overnight in Cabo San Lucas sounds simple… until it turns into margaritas by the marina, a full Cabo pub crawl, whale sightings, and one of the best ‘80s parties we’ve ever seen on a cruise ship.
Day one kicks off hot—literally—as we tender into Cabo and bar-hop our way through Captain Tony’s, Cabo Wabo, Señor Frog’s, and more before heading back onboard Carnival Panorama for an unforgettable night of music, drinks, and laughs.
Day two flips the script completely. Instead of heading back into town, we stay onboard for a true sea-day-style reset: lounging in the red chairs aft, watching boats drift by, indulging in Guy’s Burgers, and finishing 2025 with a 100-minute hot stone couples massage before ringing in 2026 with champagne, ship horns, and an electric New Year’s Eve countdown.
This video is part of our Carnival Panorama New Year’s cruise series, and there’s a lot more coming—including sea days, Ensenada, ship deep dives, and behind-the-scenes moments you won’t want to miss.
