What Is Palomar?

I wanted to share an important update for anyone interested in making reservations at Bayamo by Ocean Blue aboard the Norwegian Escape for our February 12–19, 2027 cruise. 🔴 Bayamo Is Being Replaced by Palomar! The Norwegian Escape is currently undergoing dry dock renovations. As part of these improvements, Bayamo by Ocean Blue is being replaced by Palomar, Norwegian Cruise Line’s Mediterranean-inspired specialty restaurant. 🐟 What Is Palomar? Palomar offers an upscale yet relaxed Mediterranean dining experience with Greek influences and an emphasis on fresh seafood. Palomar is not a new restaurant concept for Norwegian. It is already available aboard several other NCL ships, including the Norwegian Prima, Norwegian Viva, Norwegian Aqua, and Norwegian Breakaway. 🍽️ Some Menu Highlights Include: 🦐 Grilled prawns and octopus 🥗 Traditional Greek salad 🐟 Mediterranean sea bass and other fresh seafood 🦞 Whole grilled lobster 🥩 Premium steaks 🍷 Mediterranean-inspired wines and specialty cocktails 📅 When Can We Make Reservations? I just got off the phone with Norwegian Cruise Line after trying to determine why Bayamo was showing as unavailable for reservations. The representative actually had to consult with her supervisor to determine what was happening. I was advised that Palomar reservations should become available once the Norwegian Escape completes its dry dock toward the end of October. I sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. I know many of you have been waiting for your specialty dining reservation windows to open, and I wanted to get you the correct information as soon as I received it. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I think Palomar will be a wonderful addition to the Norwegian Escape! As always, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need additional information. Truesdell Travel Team Specialist 📞 352-612-1000
