If you didn't book the REAS package, just make sure you get in line early to board the ship. Walk straight back to make your reservations for Palo and the spa. My dh and I were able to make the Palo resrv. with no problems--the times were all available. But there was only limited times left for the spa ( early at 8:00 am), since all the "ggod" times were talen with the early REAS bookings. But it turned out the that was the best possible time--I got my massage early and had the rest of the day to play!!! Other friends had to cut short fun things we were doing to leave and go to the spa.
