Answer

Can you swim near the port in Palma when a cruise ship is docked?

Technically, the sea is there, but the port area is not the right place for a relaxed swim. Around a docked ship, there is more marine traffic, engine activity, and port infrastructure than most swimmers want. For a proper beach swim, it is better to head away from the harbour and choose one of Mallorca’s bathing areas.
