When people book Palo, most want to know which meal they are going to miss. The easiest meal to predict what night it will be on without requesting a specific rotation is Pirate menu. On a cruise of a certain length it is almost always on a specific night. So, if the pirate night menu is not one of your favorites, it is an easy choice to replace with Palo.
The Pirate menu may not be my favorite, but there are items on the menu I really enjoy. You can easily find the menu online and make your own decision. I personally would not go to Palo on my first 4 night of more cruise. Enjoy the full experience of all the menus the first time out.
we usually go to Palo on the Till we meet again menu on longer cruises, but there again you should experience it before skipping it.
