Palo ressies

[floridaminnie]

Can you make two dinner ressies or will they only allow you to do one at a time? I'm trying to make one for our whole group and then a seperate one just for my parents.

I believe you can make all your ressies for the week at one time, on a first come, first serve basis. That includes dinner and (bestill my heart) their amazing brunch.

Tip: get there early. As soon as you can, moments after you embark.

They like to tell people they do not open for ressies until 1. Not true. We made a mad dash to get up there by 12:30, and the doors were open and they were already starting to take reservations.

I know it varies from cruise to cruise, and some days they actually do keep the doors closed until 1. But forewarned is fore-armed!

I'm pretty certain that you can make on one of each type of reservation (dinner, brunch, high tea) on the first day. If you'd like a second dinner later in the week, you can call and see if there are any openings and be placed on the waiting list. You can probably make one for your whole group, and have one of your parents come along with you to make one for them.

As Greg K. said, they do usually start taking reservations earlier than stated in the Navigator, but I've never had to be there a half-hour early. I usually grab some lunch at Topsiders after boarding, and then at 12:55, I run up the stairs to Palo to make reservations, then back down for more shrimp. Although they've usually started by the time I get there, I've never had a problem getting what I want. Note that this is on the Magic, where there are more days and hence more reservation times available. Also, I believe that they take reservations at Wavebands on the Wonder, as opposed to taking them at Palo itself, as they do on the Magic.
