Palo dress code

[oklamomof4boys]

Do men have to wear tie and jacket to dinner at Palo? My husband always has so I haven't paid attention to it but someone was asking me.

I believe it is suggested they do but it's not enforced at all.

A shirt and tie would be fine and many gentlemen are dressed that way. Some come in without a tie but most wear them from my observation.

I've even see gentlemen wearing polo shirts and they were not turned away.
My personal opinion is they should save the polo's for breakfast or lunch or casual dinner but certainly make a little more effort for dinner at Palo.

I believe as long as you have a collared shirt on and no shorts/jeans you will be OK

Dress Code
At dinner, a dress shirt or jacket is required to be worn for men and a dress or pantsuit is required to be worn by women. No jeans allowed. At brunch, attire is cruise casual, meaning no shorts, jeans, swimwear or tank tops.

We had a message left on our room phone from Palo the morning of our brunch advising us that a dress shirt or jacket was required and no polo shirts were permitted. So, DH wore his suit and I wore a different dress to match for brunch. A couple of guys were there near us with polo shirts. DH had worn them to brunch before but the message specifically said not to. I have seen men turned away who wore jeans or shorts. They had to go change while the rest of their party waited for them.

My dh wore a dress shirt and no jacket last time and there were no problems!

Ladies....how fancy a dress do you wear? Sunday best or something more formal?

men must wear pants. we made that mistake when we went for brunch and dh had nice dress shorts on not short ones the longer ones but he had to go back to the cabin and change.

tie isn't enforced at brunch though he had very nice dress pants, shirt and a tie for our dinner


for ladies - i wore nice dress shorts and a nice top at brunch and dress pants and a blouse for dinner.

i would call it between business casual to formal

Yep, the Dress Code Police are out in Palo. DH was sent back to the cabin to get his tuxedo jacket--the only one he had with him on the cruise--so he could take it into Palo for dinner and somehow, mysteriously, conform to the dress code. He did not have a 'collared shirt' at all (did have a formal tuxedo shirt), and was wearing a polo shirt and carrying his tux jacket at dinner--quite the look! I told him, if it happened again, I was going to buy him a Hawaiian shirt from the gift shop, just to wear for dinner in Palo! ; )

I saw a guy last week at dinner get in with a polo, shorts, and flip flops. I wonder how he got in?

Or the question should be.....WHO was he?

The written dress code is enforced in Palo...not the one that people think is the dress code or the one that they imagine and post on the boards or they think is "suggested," but the one that appears in DCL literature and in the notice in Palo. There is no "suggested," there is only a dress code in Palo. In the normal dining rooms, there is "suggested attire."

As above, the only explanation I have for them allowing someone looking like a jerk to be in Palo is the same reason that they allowed a teen in there once--he was some celebrity. Disney people wouldn't try it--the execs always appear appropriately dressed.

Yes, I've seen people be asked to return to their cabin and change to something that complies with the dress code. They are actually a little more liberal with women. On one cruise I didn't have my luggage (another LONG story), and I pieced together some stuff from my teen daughter's bag. SHE assured me that I looked fine; I wasn't convinced. But no one in Palo looked askance.

This is does not match my recent experience on the Wonder. I know tea is not listed, but one would think that the dress code would be more in line with Brunch than at dinner. I did make the point to ask a few hours before our tea reservation as we had not done Palo tea since 2009 and I was told that the same dress code as for dinner would apply.

Ladies....how fancy a dress do you wear? Sunday best or something more formal?

Sunday best would be fine. I wore a maxi dress for tea and a cocktail dress for dinner. I love to dress up so appreciated the opportunity to wear a cocktail dress, but any nice dress, skirt and nice top or dress pants with nice top will do nicely.

This statement is not true based on my recent experience. The dress code on the website is much more liberal than that what we were quoted on the Wonder. I have now looked on the website and it does state that Brunch and High Tea are supposed to be Cruise Casual, but this does not apply on the Wonder. We were clearly told that they had only one dress code and that applied to any meal at Palo.
