Its normally Rocking Bar D but do check as I have on one cruise gone to Palo itself for ressies and changes.....

Do it on boarding only, all gone in a reasonable time.

I do remember that on one of my earliest cruises, Palo changes were made in the Palo restaurant; however, since they started using the multiple wireless laptop system a few years back, they seem to have changed to Rockin' Bar D/Wavebands so that there is a central location for Palo and main dining room assignments/rotation changes. In any event, the "Welcome Aboard" sheet will state where to go, just get in line as early as possible and you shouldn't have much (if any) trouble.

On my cruise in 2007 they moved back from Rocking Bar D back to Palo, so only a year back, and that was with the wireless Laptop system.

In 2008 it was Rocking bar D, my point was to say check the location before the run.

Interesting, Andrew. I wonder if it had anything to do with that being an 11-day Med cruise? (More reservations available or more anticipated time to make those reservations involved perhaps? I see that the time was extended all the way until 4:00, which appears half an hour later than usual too.) I guess we'll see in 88 short days.

Yes, might be the Med, might, be special cruises, not sure why it switches now and again. Now it has been Rocking Bar d for the last year. so a good chance thats it, my point is read the navigator, as you might have worked out your Sprint and route to Rocking Bar D, do it on autopilot, and find out everyone else has gone to Palo.

I think it also has something to do with where the concierge welcome aboard meeting is held, maybe they swap, as currently thats on embarkation in....Palo..

Thankfully, no "Palo Sprint" for us this time. The Midnight Reservation Fairies smiled on me over the weekend and I was able to secure a Palo brunch for Monday at 11:00 and a Palo dinner for Thursday (Lobster Day?!) at 6:30. What is becoming clearer over the years, however, is that there are many more Castaway Club members out there now who set their 90-day calendars and jump on the internet.

On my first Magic cruise back in August of 1999 (a four-day! - coincided with the Wonder's maiden voyage and the two ships met bow-to-bow for fireworks at Castaway Cay) DW and I just stumbled upon Palo. No pre-boarding reservations were necessary, or even accepted. The maitre d' explained that for an extra $5, we were welcome to eat there, and "pick a table, any table." My, how the internet has changed things

i would say yes you could do Palo at 7pm and still make the show at 8:30pm. Perhaps when you are seated mention to your server that you don't want to rush your dinner but that you do want to make the second show. I am sure they would be able to pace your meal accordingly.

It seems that many people have access to the schedule of events, i.e Pirate night, shows and showtimes, Captain's Dinner, Character Breakfast, etc.

Are you finding that information on the DCL website or is there some other source? Any insight as to where I would find that detail would be greatly appreciated.

I missed some shows last time that I have sworn to myslef to catch this time around.

Jenn, if you are updating we (my immediate family) are doing the Jost Van **** Beach day excursion in Tortola. A woman I work with did a sailing vacation around the islands and said Jost Van **** was beautiful. I didn't want to miss out on getting a "pain killer" at the Soggy Dollar either! Our friends are doing a Dolphin encounter on their own.

In St. Thomas we booked our own 1/2 day Snorkel trip since we have a 4 year old in our group and Disney has a minimum age 5.

Jennifer

Jennifer - I put your excursions on the list. Maybe we will see you there...we reserved a private day sail in Tortola and will be stopping in for a "pain killer" of our own!

If you wait, about 10:00 PM tonight on our web site will be a .pdf with Navigators from the 1st Tortola Cruise this spring. We are assuming our cruise will have things on the same days and at the same time.

Look on the HOT TOPIC page and it will be there! It is great to read through it all and plan! I have already printed all 50+ pages out and have been highlighting and taking notes at night!
