joecruz1 Posted September 19, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I've booked a spur of the moment cruise on the Magic, leaving next Wednesday 9/24. Tried to book Palo's on line, but, nothing available. Any hints on getting a seating for dinner after we board? I've been to Palo's twice, and it is the best meal I've had at sea. Also, anyone do the jet ski's on Castaway Cay? Got them booked for next Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom x4,grandma x4 Posted September 19, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hi, even when all the ressies are used up on line, they do reserve several tables for Palos to be booked upon boarding for people who book ate or dont have computer access. when you check in they give you a couple of papers. One is the Welcome Aboard paper. On it will have the name of oneof the clubs and a time to og and book Palos and change dining reservations if needed. The time is usually upon boarding for a couple of hours. Go there right at the start time and book Palos. Usually they do it right on the spot, once in awhile they take your info and call your room and leave a message when you will have your Palos dinner. Sorry I havnt done the jet skis mom x4,grandma x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeleBrat Posted September 19, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Sometimes you can get lucky and snag a reservation onboard for the first night. Usually, most people don't want to "miss" that first night in the dining room... CeleBrat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silveroak57 Posted September 27, 2008 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Why is it people don't want to miss the first night in the dining room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducklite Posted September 27, 2008 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2008 It's my understanding that they save a few seatings to book onboard. Go make those reservations the second you get onboard. Sometimes you can get in the first night because people want to eat in the main dining room that night. Keep in mind that if you get an early seating on the first night your luggage might not be at your room in time, so plan accordingly with your carry on. Good luck!

suezyq50 Posted September 28, 2008 #7 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Is Palo that big of a deal? We have down speciality on RCCL line speciality. It was nice, but not sure I would do it again. Don't get me wrong. Food was very good. But we spent a lot of money. Drinks, tip, etc. Our own fault, but just curious if those who have gone to Palo would do it again. This will be our first Disney cruise. Looking for comments. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducklite Posted September 28, 2008 #8 Share Posted September 28, 2008 We think it's absolutely worth it. We liked it a LOT better than Portofino on the Mariner, and thought it edged out Chops by a touch. We feel it's well worth the extra $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzTigger19 Posted September 30, 2008 #9 Share Posted September 30, 2008 JoeCruz1 and I were able to book Palo's as we boarded the ship. Plenty of availability. The nominal fee is absolutely worth it. The food was incredible. The service was excellent. IMHO Palo's offers the best meal at Sea.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that brunch is amazing. Do they offer brunch on the 4 day? I would like to try it if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Mick Posted October 2, 2008 #11 Share Posted October 2, 2008 We've done 6 DCL cruises and still haven't done dinner at Palo. I did tea once with a friend and wasn't that impressed. I've heard that brunch is amazing.Do they offer brunch on the 4 day? I would like to try it if they do. I've had dinners and brunches at Palo. The foot was outstanding and the wait staff was engaging and somewhat amusing. At brunch, I made the mistake of ordering the pizza. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious but it filled me up too quickly and there was a lot of other foods that went untasted as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducklite Posted October 2, 2008 #12 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I think brunch is offered during the at sea day on the four day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I did find on the DCL site that brunch is on the sea day for the 4 day. Still have lots of time to figure out if we want to do brunch or dinner on our 4 day.
