Is it best to head straight to Palo for brunch reservation at embarkation?

The Personal Navigator usually lists one of the rotational dining locations and Remy, Palo to request Remy, Palo reservations at embarkation.
Is it better to head right to Palo or does it make a difference?

I’ve always seen a line at the MDR but never at the podium near Palo/Rémy. I would head there. Maybe it was a fluke on the few cruises I’ve been near there when they opened around 12:30.

Our last cruise in May 2019, any dining requests including Palo were made in the Promenade Lounge from 12-3pm. There was also a number you could call, but we went to the Promenade Lounge first thing after boarding. Recommend checking the Navigator for the location info.

^^ this check the navigator as to where to meet and what time to make reservations.
Head there 15-20 minutes early, lines do form.

Good Luck!

I would definitely do it sooner than later once you figure out where to go. Good luck!!

At least on Dream and Fantasy (March and January of this year), they took requests both at Enchanted Garden and at the podium between both restaurants. I attach the info provided in the first navigator of the January cruise.

We've done it all three ways over the years. I'd choose whichever fits your plans best.

We did it at Enchanted Garden on the Dream last year. We arrived about 10-15 minutes before the time that was stated in the Navigator (1:00 maybe?, I forget exactly) and we were first in line.

HI! So I was told by a few people to check with guest services/front desk when boarding to see about brunch reservations. Does this mean don't go there? I don't want to waste my time if I should just check the Navigator and see what that says versus standing on what I'm sure will be a long line at guest services only to be told they can't help.

Check the Navigator for the location.

Check the Navigator for the location.

Great, thank you!

It does not hurt to get in line at whatever location is mentioned in the Navigator a bit before the scheduled time. We have experienced the venue opening a bit earlier.

It doesn't make a difference, really. Both locations tie into the same computer info.
