PALO night.......
Our reservation was at 6PM. The late sunset in Alaska is a fantastic benefit for Palo dinners. Usually when we sail it is too dark to see anything at dinner, but this time it stayed light the whole time and we had a great view.
Bread selection:
We were seated in Alex's section again. I think they try to keep you with the same server if you go more than once. He seemed more focused this time and not quite as chatty. We thought he was a
great server, we just didn't "click" with him the way people sometimes do.
They start you with a plate of Antipasto Freddo.
You may be thinking that a super picky eater like me has no business even being at Palo dinner, and you may be right. However, I do think that they make a DELICIOUS steak. Actually, everyone at our table ordered the steak:
And you will be proud to learn that I also tried the Wild Mushroom and Hazelnut Risotto, the Ravioli, and the Chicken
Cheers!
Of course the Chocolate Soufflé is a must:
DH also loves the Panna Cotta
For the record, the menu that I found on line for Palo is not the exact menu we had, so if you have any doubts about Palo, be sure to go to deck 10 and check out their menu for yourself when you get on board.
After dinner we picked up DS and went back to the room to change. We were looking forward to playing another round of Disney trivia that night and my mom wasn't able to sit with DS so we decided to take him along, even though it was kind of late.
Now, I have to amend one thing I said earlier. On Day 2, it was the Disney tune trivia that we won. The Disney Theme Park trivia was THIS night. I mixed up the two in my head because they were similar, but definitely NOT the same.
Theme Park trivia was much harder. (I sound like such a nerd, haha) There were a LOT of questions. Stephen was the host and he was the one who had "invented" this particular trivia so he was pretty passionate about it. I will tell you that we did win again- (not bragging, just sharing) and we had a lot of fun on this one because it was tough and there was a LOT of good competition.
One funny thing- my DS was there, as I mentioned, and he enjoys trivia though I have no idea why because he doesn't really get it, but it so happened this night that he knew TWO of the answers that we didn't! LOL. It pays to have a little kid with you who spends a lot of time on rides. We all burst out laughing when we got those 2 answers correct. Thanks buddy!!
We won a hat and a Disney water bottle that my husband immediately made his "gym bottle".
Time for bed, and another towel animal:
Here is what 10PM looks like:
And the map from the TV:
Another long day and fun night. Why is this trip going by so quickly?!?!
*Other notes about today:
-The "show" tonight was the movie, The Avengers. We missed it because of Palo.
-They played the popular "Match Your Mate" Game at 10:30PM
-The Drink of the Day was the Nutty Kodiak. Cheers.
-Character appearances that we missed included Dopey, Stitch, Belle, Pinocchio, Cinderella and Ariel
-There was a "sports nickname" trivia in Diversions. We would have been terrible at that.
-John Carter and The Muppets played in the movie theater.
