POAM Christmas cruise

[penorment]

We got back last night from our POAM holiday cruise. I have to say it was wonderful. There are some things that could be improved but all and all it was great. I am going to try tofind the time to write a detailed report as a thank you to all who were so helpful in my planning of this memorable experience. I am willing to answer any specific question too.

Is there a cover charge for the Cadillac Diner? I have read that there are cover charges for Lazy J's, East Meets West and Little Italy; however, I can not find anything on the Cadillac Diner. We are scheduled for this ship in May. First time to Hawaii..can't wait!

Cadillac diner is free as is Little Italy.

That is great! I was under the impression that the only free dining was the two main dining rooms and the buffet. I will be watching for your reveiw. I am especially interested in hearing about the shore excursions throught the ship and on your own in each port. Thanks!

Penorment!

 

I'm so glad you had a great time! I can hardly wait to hear all about it! :D

 

Welcome home, although I'm sure you'd rather still be there!

I have started the review on another thread but the jet lag has fogged my mind so it is going slow. It couldn't be the mai tai tastings I indulged in everywhere in Hawaii could it!!!

Thanks for the brief update, glad you had a great time. How many restaurants required reservations btw? NMnita

newMexicoNita, We had to make reservations for all the restaurants because I cruised with 15 others but for normal size groups and a full cruise you would need reservations for Little Italy, East Meets West, Jefferson's Bistro(highly recommend-best fooid of cruise) and Lazy J(least satisfactory of specailty restaurants and most expensive). Liberty and Skyline do not need reservations but if your cruise is full I would suggest making them as the Christmas cruise was packed and there were many unhappy people looking at 1 hr waits. With reservations we had little or no waits for any restaurant.

 

Sorry the trip report is taking so long but we had a few minor disasters at the end which have consumed my time.
