My hubby & I vote to do dinner if you only want to do one. If you don't cruise often, do both!

I am really thinking hard about Palo Brunch...I've heard so many great things about it. Have to talk DD into it though.

Aburns8 · 01-27-2012, 01:29 PM

Is there an age limit to the Palo brunch?

It's adults only...but you could have Disney watch the baby for a bit???? Maybe we could have lunch at the same time.....just a thought.

I am good with Disney watching the baby. I tried for a Palo brunch on my first cruise and it didn't work out. I am hoping since this one is longer that I can get one.

No need to talk anyone into it ... just book it. You will get a confirmation in your stateroom ... act surprised ... then say, "Oh, Honey, we're going to Palo's for brunch! Thank you sooo much!"

Gold 105 days out
Platinum 120 days out (they get Palo free!)

We've done Palo dinner 3 times & brunch once. Both were great! I think I enjoyed dinner more, but am very glad we did brunch & would do it again

Thanks for the correction! I just made Gold earlier this month, so I have a ways to go before getting Platinum.

Both! Seriously, they are two very different dining experiences. Outstanding food and service at each, just different.

That is actually how ahi tuna is prepared otherwise it would be rubber.

Howdy! I returned home this morning from a great week at WDW. It was the warmest January in the 5 times I've gone at that time of year.

I enjoyed Palo brunch on 2 Wonder cruises and dinner on the Dream. I may book both brunch and dinner on the Fantasy, but I'm not interested in afternoon tea or dinner at Remy.

I got wind of the 2013 DCL itineraries on Tuesday via e-mails from several travel agents. There is nothing in the current crop that interests me, but I'm holding out for a September 2013 Vancouver to Honolulu one-way cruise that hasn't been announced yet. The Panama Canal itineraries are pretty boring, and the eastbound Transatlantic has THE worst itinerary of any DCL has ever had. What's up with this "dumbing down" business?! Obviously DCL wants people to stay onboard with lots of sea days so they spend more money.

We went to Animal Kingdom for a few hours on Thursday and I thought it was chilly!

We mostly agree. However, we did book the west coast repositioning cruise for May 2013 from LA to Vancouver. Pretty good price for a 7-night in a balcony cabin. Looking forward to a couple of days in SF on this cruise.
