One of the best Park West experience with Trunette and Heinrich
My husband and I are recently back from a cruise on carnival jubilee and had the best experience with Park West. We have been to several VIP events and this one rivaled those. Trunette and Heinrich were AMAZING! They were both very personable and helped us to find the perfect pieces to compliment our current collection.

Just returned from a 10 day cruise on the NCL Joy
Just returned from a 10 day cruise on the NCL Joy. Had a great experience on all aspects of the trip. My wife and I loved the art auctions. I do collect art and did attend most of the auctions. I have to say Johan provided great auctions and the entertainment that goes along with it. Fully explained all aspects of the auction terms and what to expect. Annemie who has the cutest name ever was eager to help after the auctions. Annemie was not pushy or over the top to push a sale. Very professional on what was purchased and what to expect on shipping. We won and purchased several items. One purchase was framed and most not. I have already received most items exactly as stated. Francesca also was extremely attentive and provided equally great information which help us in and after the auction. It has to be very hard work doing these auctions day in and day out. I attended a seminar on history of some of the art by a girl named Sophie. Sophie answered so many questions I had on the background of many of my favorite artist and even some not listed in the auction. Sophie’s extensive knowledge led me to a purchase. If I was Park West I would offer Sophie a paid scholarship to get her doctorate degree and to continue working for the company as she brings the knowledge any company of this caliber continues to need.

Great experience with Benoica on Liberty of the Seas. We found some very nice pieces from Kre8 and Slava Ilyayev. Benoica helped us to begin our collection, she was professional as well as personable, the entire experience was great on all fronts.

Bliss Norwegian Cruise Art Gallery
I just came from NCL Bliss ....I had a great experience with the art show and the art was exquisite... A young gentleman helped me out by the name of Bruce Cambell very knowledgeable with the art and was very a great listener to what type of art I was looking for. He made me feel welcomed and was on point with art.

I have really had great experiences with Park West :)
Art is a matter of taste, and I have consistently found artwork at the onboard cruise auctions by Park West that I love. I have purchased four artworks from Park West, and won an additional two large artworks at Park West giveaways. I even framed a couple of the small free artworks given out after attending the auctions. I am satisfied with both the price that I paid for my artworks, and with the same great service and understanding of the different Park West sales teams on five separate cruises.
Whenever I told them that a price was just too high for an artwork that I was thinking about, different sales teams on separate cruises always treated me respectfully and with understanding. I did not feel pressured in any way on the occasions that I was interested in an artwork but did not purchase. I enjoy the onboard art auctions whether I purchased artworks or not. In my experience, Park West is a very nice optional activity during a cruise that I have always not only been satisfied with but also look forward to on my cruise vacations. I have found that by simply openly communicating with Park West's wonderful sales teams, that I always enjoy every event hosted by Park West and I do not feel pressured to buy when I tell them I am not shopping this time or that the price is too much for my budget. And on the cruises when I did purchase artwork, I was treated wonderfully by Park West every time no matter how much I was spending. Thank you for many enjoyable on board art auctions and educational talks on my cruise travels, Park West! I always love Park West cruise events, and hope to enjoy more of them in the future!

Celebrity Cruise Park West Experiance
Reijnder, Kelly- Anne, Dallas and Kamo have made the art cruise experience gun for me again. In 2016 I bought my first artwork and have been on many cruises since but never have had another great experience in regards to the Park West Team until now. They are first of all very knowledgeable, extremely friendly and willing to answer all questions. You will have the best art cruise experience with this team and more likely than not end up buying a piece you love and can take home with you and appreciate every single day.

A Memorable Experience
My husband and I had an incredible experience with Park West Gallery during our April cruise. From the very beginning, the team was genuinely kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about art, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable.
We are not typically art collectors, so we never expected to leave with such a genuine appreciation for both the artwork and the people behind the gallery. The team made the experience memorable, fun, and completely approachable. We looked forward to seeing them every day during the cruise, and visiting Park West has become something my husband and I look forward to doing together in the future. It is a new shared interest that we both genuinely enjoy.
Each piece of artwork ordered has also arrived in perfect condition and in a reasonable amount of time, which has only added to our positive experience.
The scavenger hunt was one of our favorite activities. I loved discussing the artwork with my husband and trying to answer all the questions correctly—it made learning about the art interactive and so much fun! We also really enjoyed the videos featuring the artists JBon and Goddard. Learning about the artists and their inspiration made the artwork even more meaningful and personal.
Overall, we attended every event that was offered and enjoyed each one. At no point did we ever feel pressured to purchase anything. Instead, we felt welcomed, educated, and inspired. Thank you, Park West Gallery, for creating such a wonderful experience. We can't wait for our next opportunity to visit!
I wish I had written this review sooner because the team truly deserves the recognition. A heartfelt thank you to Siobhan Kehoe (Art Auctioneer), Nicola Novakovic (Gallery Director), Zarco de Beer (Gallery Director), Megan Buckley (Gallery Director), Aiden Olivier (Art Specialist), and Romario Hunter (Art Coordinator). Every one of you helped make our experience unforgettable!
