Hi, we just came bk from 4d3n cruise in Palace. Just to share some of our experience during this phrase 2 (HA) period.
Swab test - 30 mins done including getting results via sms.
Check in - 15mins done while waiting at Palace lounge (no food n drinks)
Pool- we asked our butler to help us book the main pool time on first day as it is near to the water slides. In fact, there isn't any q at all. Actually no booking needed throughout 4d3n. There was about 300 plus people on board according to our butler.
Kids pool- operating but allow only 2 at a time (10mins play)
Family slides - closed for maintenance.
Big slides - operating
Mini golf, rock climbing n zip line are operating too.
Shows- booked by our butler too.
Vr experience - operating
Spa massage - operating
Bought the buy 2 gets 1 free is more worth it on first day boarding.
All restaurants closed including speciality restaurant. All food n drinks were strictly dine in the room. Our butler, Michael served every our meal (breakfast, lunch, high tea, dinner and supper!) food were all served in bowl and plates like in the restaurant. They put a table in the room for dining. We could choose different restaurants (umi uma, silk Road, The Palace restaurant, steakhouse) for our meals. They all come in set menu. Food are generally above average. The Palace restaurant changes its menu daily. Happy Hours alcoholic drinks also served in the room. Our butler deserved high credit by ensuring we hv all food n drinks served well so we tipped him. Overall, we truly enjoy our trip this time. Hope this help
