We loved - loved - our Palo brunch last year on our Alaska cruise. Needless to say, we can't wait to go back!

We've booked a 2019 7-day Mediterranean cruise with just one At Sea day. (Very port intensive!) Does that mean Palo brunch will be offered just that one day at sea?

If so, will it be extremely hard to get brunch reservations? We have Silver status only.

Thank you!

Generally Palo brunch is only offered at sea days. But it being the med, who knows. Check some past navigators at the disney cruiseline blog site and do a little reconnaissance. Have a great cruise!

Typically, Palo brunch is only on sea days. However, in the past, on some cruises, brunch has been offered on port days where the port arrival time is later (noon or later). Can't say for sure that will happen on your cruise, but you never know.
 
Our upcoming Med cruise this June has only one sea day and yes, Palo brunch is only being offered on that day and yes, it was very limited. It was all full (for online booking) the day after Platinum cruisers checked in. I'm hopeful we can secure a booking onboard for our cruise. Unfortunately, we had planned on taking a tour in the morning and we won't be boarding until around 1:30 but I'm still going to race to the dining reservations location and see what I can obtain.

Thank you, Anricat. That's about what I was afraid of. Well, we'll have to go to plan B . . . maybe Palo dinner . . . or try to secure brunch once we board.

I seem to be following in your family's footsteps a bit. I loved your Alaska trip report, and used it to help me plan our trip in 2017. Now you'll be a year ahead of us on the Mediterranean cruise! Which itinerary are you taking, if I can ask?

Thank you, Quellman - that's a good idea to check some prior Navigators!

Thank you, PrincessShmoo. I don't even think we have any late port days . . . it's such a port intensive itinerary! It seems such a darn shame to have the brunch offered on only one day, but that's the trade off, I suppose! :)

Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful. :) We're on the June 16 cruise that goes from Barcelona to Rome. Here's my pre-trip report I've started: https://www.disboards.com/threads/o...-will-have-many-adventures-in-europe.3657275/ You can bet I'll be back with a full trip report for this one once we're back! :)

Perfect . . . I will definitely see the pre-trip report and anticipate the post-trip report as well. We are doing the Rome to Barcelona itinerary in 2019. I hope you have the BEST trip!!! :goodvibes:cheer2:
