Port arrival time- how late is ok for palo waiting list?

[Jax1023]

So after a disaster of online check in last night ( I gave up at 1:40 am after spending an hour trying to enter payment information and the save button being greyed out), I did it when I got up at 5:30 and got 12:15, boarding group 13.

We had been hoping to get on a waiting list for Palo brunch.

With a 12:15 port arrival, what time would we realistically be on the ship?

And is there a chance of getting a Palo brunch with a not super early port arrival?

Depends on the sailing, but 12:15 isn't that late. How big of a party? A lot of times they hold tables for two until embarkation (hoping to fill them with 4), so that might work out for you.

If memory serves, dining services doesn't open until 12:30 or 1pm outside enchanted garden. I think you'll be okay if you make a beeline once you board.

There are 2 of us. It’s a 7 day fantasy cruise with 3 sea days. This is our first Disney cruise, and this far I am finding this whole processing absurdly complicated and frustrating. The other lines I have sailed on have been so much easier.

We had the same experience on our first one. I wouldn't sweat it. With three sea days I'd be surprised if you can't get one at embarkation. You can keep checking in the meantime too. Best of luck, keep us posted.

Thanks! Just grumpy and tired being up til for no reason!

I did snag a reply brunch at some point last night, and I currently have a champagne tasting booked. So I’m thinking about canceling the champagne tasting and doing the remy brunch with champagne pairings.

I was boarding group 3 on the Fantasy in June and still didn’t get a Palo brunch even though I must have been one of the first on the waiting list.
