Still find it difficullt to accept that the casual brunch is the same price as the fancier dinner and menu!

The "casual" brunch is still pretty fancy, with lots more items.

I found the brunch much more yummy!

I do enjoy the Palo dinner but the variety of the brunch is phenomenal. I like to try small portions of a lot of foods and the brunch allows me to do that.

DH and I are looking forward to our cruise out of NYC in October and two sea days. Brunch will definitely be on our agenda!

We tried brunch this past cruise in April and there was a very nice assortment of food on the tables as well as the menu. The atmosphere is more casual and that was okay too, but we really prefer dinner for the ambience.
On our cruise in February we had dinner on Friday night (last night of the cruise) because that is the only day that did not interfere with anything else we had planned. lol
We are so glad we waited as we sat at a table by the window and had a completely full moon glimmering on the water. Talk about romance and ambience. My husband and I decided that we will be going to Palo dinner from now on since we have experienced both now. It is definitely something I am glad we tried though.

They are both well worth $30 in my opinion.

We do both. Both are great. Anything on the menu for dinner is available at Brunch for the asking. Although I have never asked. In some ways Brunch is better because of the variety of food

Where have you heard that dinner food is available at brunch? I have never heard that - actually quite the opposite as more than one person has reported requesting the chocolate soufflé at brunch and been refused. They are totally separate meals and menus.

This may no longer be true, but I have heard that if you go into the Palo bar in the evening, and ask Very nicely, that you can order a souffle, just by sitting at the bar.

 

[Dug720]

Absolutely never heard that. Especially given that they are not just sitting waiting to be served.

The only thing I have heard -- because friends did it every night -- was ordering an appetizer or cheese platter from Palo for dinner in the MDR each night. Now that was there years ago, so they may not allow that anymore either. I thought it was kind of odd that they would do it as there is more than enough food on the MDR menus, but this person tended to be loud and aggressive so maybe they were just trying to shut them up LOL

Probably. Lol. I have heard of people asking for the soufflé and being refused. That is why I seriously doubt you can order it at Meridian.

We have done both Brunch and Dinner at Palo, several times and I agree with you about Palo dinner.
When home; we seldom go to dinner where we get dressed up and order a bottle wine to go along with some very good food. Part of going on a cruise for me is to do something we don't normally do at home, so I don't mind getting dressed up for dinner and going to a restaurant like Palo and getting served. While Palo brunch is a fun experience with good food and selection; it just doesn't have the same feel for me. Brunches we do do here at home.

Dumb question time...can you do both brunch and dinner at Palo on the same cruise?

Yeah. Palo brunches are yummy and very nice ... but dinner is a totally different experience. Quiet, peaceful, elegant. Love it.

Absolutely. If you are platinum, you get a free dinner, but I think it can be used for brunch instead. We have done more than one brunch on our sailings. We have done two Palo dinners -- both for our anniversary. It was very romantic and a perfect setting to celebrate any occasion. However, we both like the brunch better -- and my DD prefers it as she doesn't care for the dinner menu. I like the fact it is bright and sunny and you can see the ocean as you enjoy all those fabulous foods.

I will say though that we didn't enjoy the brunch on the Fantasy as much as we did on the Magic and Wonder. We felt the Fantasy presentation was too much, too long and took longer. We liked the layout on the classic ships better (JMO).

Absolutely they are separate menus. The Souffle' is a little different as it takes special preparation i.e. (the server has you order it well before the other deserts). We are Platinum and been on each ship. We eat at Palo for one dinner and one brunch. We ordered the Risotto and Lobster Ravioli at Brunch. We have also had a pizza on one of the cruises.

Its hardly a "casual brunch". This is a really, really good brunch.
