Palo Brunch Reservation Question

[goofballs]

I was able to reserve Palo Brunch on a day at sea, but there was only one time available.

Is there a way to check for other times opening up without cancelling the existing reservation?

I am grateful to have the confirmed reservation and don’t want to lose the opportunity. But would also prefer to find a different time for being away from the teenagers in our group.

Generally no because you can only have 1 reservation. One trick is have someone else on the cruise (without a brunch reservation) go in and check for openings. If so, then you can cancel and quickly try to grab another time. I've done this for people on social media, but requires good timing because once you give up your reservation it is open for others to grab.

So have not cruised since COVID changes and this question is about Palo's reservations but also general check in. If I understand correctly booking Palo's and other activities is still based on your Castaway Club status but the actual check in including completing documents and getting your PAT is now 30 days out for everyone. Also is Palo Brunch only available on sea days? Thanks!

Yes, this really bugs me. I wish they could make it so you can see if other times are available without cancelling.

Palo brunch openings after they sell out are so rare I honestly wouldn’t bother trying to find a way to look until you get on the ship and can ask the dining team.

It depends. Sometimes they offer it on Nassau days. They are on my 2/19 MDAS cruise which is AWESOME so I don't have to miss any Marvel stuff for brunch!!

Thank you for sharing the workaround. I guess I will just go with the reservation we have and check on board for a different time. Would be disappointed to lose the experience altogether.

That is my understanding as well.

I’m on a 4-day Dream cruise and at exactly 90 days out, Palo Brunch was available on Nassau day and sea day.
