Were you able to get free brunch? Thanks!It seems that more recent posts have whichever meal you eat first at Palo be the complimentary one. We are on the March 7th Fantasy and have brunch booked so I will post back our Platinum experience.

I forgot to report back, but we cruised for spring break and had two rooms booked. We only did brunch and got brunch for four free.
We will be platinum for the 1st time on our upcoming cruise. It is a 4-nighter and I have a feeling our free Palo dinner might go unused also. I just hate to miss dinner in the main dining room plus dh hates to lug a jacket for Palo when we would be just as happy in the main dining room. I wish they would let you substitute and get a free drink coupon or something else if you don't want the meal.We will just book a brunch and if it's free, it's free, if not we pay. My wife isn't interested in a palo supper, so the free meals may go unused.
A jacket isn't required at Palo.dh hates to lug a jacket for Palo
No sea day = no brunch.And, our 4-nighter Wonder cruise doesn't have a sea day, so I guess there is no hope for brunch either. Is that right?
We ended up doing a free supper on our 4 night cruise and it was really good for me, and ok for my wife who is not an adventurous eater. We ate there on pirate night and enjoyed the atmosphere. I did not where a jacket, just a short sleeve dress shirt and tie with dress pants. We did watch them make someone that came in with jeans change. The funny thing about that was his wife was super dressed up which made his jeans look even more out of place.We will be platinum for the 1st time on our upcoming cruise.

No sea day = no brunch.
Yes, but those are not very common. The general rule of thumb is "brunch is only offered on sea days". In Disney-speak a late port arrival day (after noon) is often considered a "sea day".Sorry, not true.
4-night cruises without a sea day will offer Palo Brunch when their itinerary has a port arrival that is around noon or later. For example, the 4-night Wonder cruises out of Miami do not have any sea days (Port of Miami~Castaway Cay~Nassau~Key West~ Port of Miami) but they do offer Palo Brunch on the morning of Key West because they arrive at that port after noon. I know this because I currently have a confirmed Palo Brunch reservation on our 4-night Wonder cruise in March.

There is a Palo brunch on the Nassau day of the May 27, 2016 3 day Dream cruise.
You both get the free dinner.WAIT -- AM I READING THIS RIGHT? If my DH and I book a stateroom -- and we are both platinum -- we don't BOTH qualify for the free dinner? I find that hard to believe since becoming platinum is supposed to be "special" -- why would only one of you earn the right to the free Palo dinner?

Well, it's kinda like that. The perk is for the "Platinum member and all guests in same room". I'm not really sure that, say, you can book one dinner for you and hubby ("your" room and guest) and hubby can book one for him and you ("his" room and guest). But, certainly, if you just go for one dinner, both of you will be comped.Thank you both. Whew, back on page one it sounded like only one gets in free LOL. Appreciate the confirmation.
