WE'RE IN WE'RE IN WE'RE IN!!!

Got brunch for 2 at 10:30 (availability for 11:30 and 12:00 as well!), and booked the Rasul for the afternoon. oh happy day... can't wait!

 

[lvstitch]

woo hoo, got both Dinner and brunch at Palo.

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

Congrats to everyone on thier ressies!

 

[lvstitch]

WE'RE IN WE'RE IN WE'RE IN!!!

Got brunch for 2 at 10:30 (availability for 11:30 and 12:00 as well!), and booked the Rasul for the afternoon. oh happy day... can't wait!

We'll be there at 10:30 too. I went back and forth between 10:30 and noon by the time I booked the 10:30 (again) the 11:30 wasn't showing available anymore.

 

[Kidlette]

We were on the site 5 minutes before it opened and kept refreshing. The site did not allow us to even see/use the Palo dining button until about 9:06. By the time we got in, there were 0 brunch or tea reservations left, only dinner. As we only wanted brunch and not dinner, this was very disappointing. Hopefully it goes better for the 7 night reservations.

 

[PizzieDuster]

Stooooopid PizzieDuster..... Here I am waiting for 12:00 am ...and didn't realize I could get on at 9:00 pm.

But I am happy with my spa appointment - Alone Time at 8:00 am...what a great way to start the day! They only had 8:00 am or 4:30 pm. for the Alone Time.

I'm happy!

 

[suzcruz]

was 15 minutes late in logging on & got dinner for the 2nd night but no brunch, there were plenty of spots for dinner on both nights open. wanted brunch more but oh well, it will still be fun!

 

[ClubDis]

I still have another 2 weeks before I can, hopefully, book a spa appointment. Not even going to attempt Palo. Maybe next time.

We'll be there for Brunch too. I got 10:30 for Us and Laura's parents and another couple we'll be traveling with.

woo hoo, got both Dinner and brunch at Palo.

Congrats! I decided against the Palo dinner. I wanted the time with the kids.

We were on the site 5 minutes before it opened and kept refreshing. The site did not allow us to even see/use the Palo dining button until about 9:06. By the time we got in, there were 0 brunch or tea reservations left, only dinner. As we only wanted brunch and not dinner, this was very disappointing. Hopefully it goes better for the 7 night reservations.

Oh gosh! I'm so sorry! There's actually a trick to it. You logged on before 9 p.m. (Midnight eastern) as a result you were locked out. You needed to log completely out THEN log in after 9 p.m. (midnight eastern) and you would have seen the button.

Stooooopid PizzieDuster..... Here I am waiting for 12:00 am ...and didn't realize I could get on at 9:00 pm.

Bummer!!!!!

was 15 minutes late in logging on & got dinner for the 2nd night but no brunch, there were plenty of spots for dinner on both nights open. wanted brunch more but oh well, it will still be fun!

I'm always at my computer WAY early. My heart begins to pound at about 08:55 and I do a couple of practice log ons to decrease my time to logon and still am holding my breath until I get the Palo ressies that I want.

I still have another 2 weeks before I can, hopefully, book a spa appointment. Not even going to attempt Palo. Maybe next time.

You can check, but it has been my experience (from my last cruise when I stupidly went to Palo Dinner before Palo Brunch and lost out on the brunch) that there will be no new appointments made available. There will be plenty of slots available on sail away day. Proceed directly to the reservation table when boarding (I usually send the family to the welcome aboard brunch while I take care of those reservations) and make your brunch appointment. You'll get it.

90 DAYS!

Way Cool!
