This was just on another thread, and I think that somebody said that, with the name being Italian....

It is not Pal - O (as in the word pal....)

I think they said it was

Pahhh - lo as in, open wide and say ahhhh

If I am remembering right???????

 

[Carol RN]

Paaah--low

 

[MarkRG]

Being we just got off the Wonder, I concur, Pah - lo.

.... just don't call me late for dinner!

Since my DW says I do everything backwards anyway, I'll just pronounce it "Oh-Lap".

On our recent Magic cruise they pronounced it "Paul-o" but it really doesn't matter how you say it as long as you eat there! Mmmmmm!

 

[Michelle]

Okay, agreed, the true Italian pronuncation is PAH-lo.

But I heard plenty of people on the ship calling it PAL-lo.

And I also agree that no matter WHAT it is called, eat there!

Now that I know how to say it, what does it mean?

Palo is the fellow that would be poling your boat through the canals of Venice. You know, striped shirt, straw hat, serenading you in Italian...

Palo is simply Italian for pole -- in this case, a striped pole in Venice, to which a gondola is tied when not in use.

Also, while on the subject of pronounciation (not spelling, lol!!) Please remember it is Castaway Key, and Parrot Key. Not " Caaaay" , not "see" , not "say" !!
