? about Palo reservation lines on 7 night

[CRB#33]

I plan to reserve a time for Brunch and one dinner as soon as we embark.

How do they have the lines set up for this?

By day? By dinners? By Brunch? By Tea? etc...

I have to tell you . . . When I cruise in October, 2003, that was the most disorganization I ever saw in one place. As soon as I got in, there were too many people in line, so they handed us a number and said they would call. So, we waited. They called our number and we got the time / day that we wanted for dinner. Then, I asked about the brunch. He told me to stand in the next line -- at the END! Forget it. I said "If I had known there were 2 lines, I would have waited in the brunch line when I was waiting for my dinner number to be called." He just looked at me, but did take my brunch reservation at the right time I wanted.

So, moral .... ASK as soon as you get in the room how they are doing it. And, you may want to have more than one person with you -- one person to stand in the dinner line and one in the brunch line.

Seriously, they need a better system. With all the technology available, you would think they could book the dinner / brunch / high tea reservations just like a doctor bookings. There are plenty of software applicaitons available that enable multiple people booking multiple reservations at the same time.

When we went on the cruise in January, there was one line for dinner at Palo's, one line for brunch, and one line for the tea. We boarded about 1:30, and we got the last reservation for any night other than Saturday, and were put on waiting lists for both the brunch and the tea. We got to do the brunch, but not the tea.
