It takes about 20 minutes or so for a small army of crew members, to collapse all the seats and slowly but surely allow them to slide backwards into a wall cubby. But lest anyone think this is a simple “push a button, the theater chairs go away and a dance floor magically appears” kind of thing, think again. Now, much has been made of the transformation from theater to dance club, and it is kind of amazing. Make sure to wear your boogie shoes to Summer so you can fully enjoy the post-show part, set at Studio 54.Īs you might assume, the final song of the show is Last Dance… but it proves to be anything but as the theater is then transformed into the legendary New York City nightclub Studio 54. Her vocal enunciations felt a bit too forced, especially when compared to those of the other performers. Locke is good as “Diva Donna,” but never really felt connected to the part for me. It’s a well-produced, fairly well-paced jukebox musical featuring around two dozen songs made famous by the reluctant Disco Queen. As I mentioned earlier, Kimberly Locke is the star of the show, but she’s joined by two other performers who play the iconic Ms. But damned if I was going to miss the big show on this ship, Summer: The Donna Summer Musical. Now at home, I have a tough time staying up past 10 p.m., and that’s often true on a cruise, too. Frankly, I was surprised to see that many of the main entrees have an extra fee attached to them. There are a limited number of entrees, and at least three of them come with a surcharge if you’re using the dining plan. One thing worth noting: Palomar is upscale and it ain’t cheap.
IM SRARTING TO THINK ONE DAY ILL TELL THE STORYO IF US SKIN
The fish was perfectly prepared, with crispy skin and a flaky center. So good was the chef that I wound up eating a carrot-and-chickpea puree, something I wouldn’t even look at on dry land.
I then ordered oysters and a grilled squid appetizer, followed by a perfectly-prepared sea bass. The meal started off with warm, fresh baked bread and a plate of oil with snipped-at-your-table rosemary in which to dip it. But this being a totally new-to-NCL restaurant, I felt it was practically my duty to give it a try. Now, I’ll admit I’m not a huge seafood person. In my case, being a single diner definitely worked, as I was able to book Palomar for this, our first night. So in order to get specialty dining reservations (or entertainment reservations), folks had to stand in line and hope for the best. But technology being technology, none of that was working. Theoretically, one can make dining reservations in a variety of ways, including on the Norwegian app or any of the touchscreens located around the ship. Like a good fish, Palomar might be tough to land, but it was definitely worth the effort.
