Palo is booked/how can I get in?

[Faith&Hope]

Hello everyone! I just booked for the May 20th cruise!

I tried to register for Palo for dinner or brunch but there's nothing available. It says to check in onboard. What are the chances of actually getting a ressie on board? My husband has been working on a movie since Sept. and I haven't spent any time with him so we desparately need one night to ourselves. I was really looking forward to one night (especially since we paid an arm and a leg to book last minute)! I have to arrange the nursery time to try to get in but can't reserve that because I can't get a Palo reservation!

Any advice would be appreciated as I sit here and cry!

Don't cry, your chances are excellent of getting a Palo ressie once you get on board. Last month we were on Magic and they actually called us in our stateroom to see if we wanted to come another night. Must have been a slow week, LOL. I'd say it's safe to start dreaming about your chocolate souffle.

Welcome to the DIS and the DCL forums. They hold back a number of reservations for onboard (for people like yourself who booked later or for those who don't have internet access). Get to the port early and then go right to where they take the reserations (you'll get a sheet at check-in to tell you where to go). You should be fine especially if you can be flexible on what night you want.
