Nope...

I must make one confession... I think Palo is a waste of time and money, but I'll eat at Remy every day if allowed to.

Palo is waste of money and you would prefer Remy's pricing??????

Wow

Yup. I can get Italian food on the level of Palo any day of the week, but Remy-quality? Rare in these hillbilly parts.

The verdant hills of East Tennesee, but my mom's kin are from Crocker and Hooker, MO.

You CAN NOT get that quality anytime. Hand made ravioli???? Tuna carpacio, the lamb, please.....

We weren't going to attend dinner on dress up night. I figured I had to dress every day to go to work and I was "on vacation!" when we told our server the night before, he nearly begged us to come. We explained that we didn't even bring dress up clothes. That we had actually planned to skip it and eat on top deck. His response was "we'll never say 'No'." So our entire party of 16 dressed like pirates on dress up night. We strutted through the dining room and watched the kids and husbands glare at the wives who made them doll-up. It was awesome!

Yes, I can. We have two fantastic Italian restaurants here and several others. Most Italian restaurants make their own ravioli (I used to make it when I worked in an Italian restaurant, along with a killer veal ossobuco and handmade tiramisu.) Lamb is the specialty of another couple of restaurants in this podunk town, and it's fantastic. I make my own tuna carpaccio. It's almost as easy as making sashimi.

A full French restaurant experience? Not so easy to get, especially for the price, in almost any town with a population less than a million people. It's not even really about the food. It's about the experience. Palo doesn't do it for me. Remy does. YMMV.

My confession... this one dates back to 1999, folks.

During my first cruise on the Magic when I was 15, my (also underage) cruise buddy and I stole a pitcher of strawberry banana daiquiri from a bar on Castaway Cay when the bartender was turned the other way.

You bad bad bad lol

Wow

I hated the food at Remy (didn't really care for anything I tried there) but loved the atmosphere. But I think Palo dinner is the best meal on the ship. Different strokes.

In the last two weeks, I have been obsessively checking the Disney Cruise Line forum on this board almost constantly (including while at work) looking for any last minute advice, info, experiences etc in preparing for my first cruise ever on the Wonder next week.

as in "Wizard of Oz": ignore that man behind the curtain!

Reading all of this stuff is ok, but you need to experience the cruise for yourself.
Don't be swayed by opinions posted here or anywhere else....the definitive info is all good, but you know what they say about opinions....wellllllll,I hope you do 'cause I can't post that here.

I hope you have a great trip and, remember, read the Navigators. Try Remy & Palo (both), if you're so inclined, and let us know what you think

 

[Markonefive]

I know what you mean. I had begun to watch some YouTube videos people had taken walking around the ship and then realized I'd rather experience it first hand myself. So stopped doing that. Looking forward to being amazed with an open mind. Liking the advice about extra desserts though!
