Palo Brunch or dinner?

[CindyH927]

Is the Palo brunch offered on all cruises? We've sailed the 3 night cruise in the past and don't remember seeing the Palo Brunch. Also, would you recommend Palo brunch or dinner?

Not all 3-night cruises have the brunch available. Some do, some don't. I've had both and liked both. Brunch was great for all the choices, and dinner was great for the chocolate souffle. If you're a big chocolate fan, I'd recommend dinner just for the chocolate souffle. Otherwise, I'd recommend brunch for the variety of options. For a longer cruise, I'd recommend both.

I love both brunch and dinner, but if I had to give one an edge over the other it would be brunch. Palo is so calm and serene in the evening for dinner, and is a very elegant way to share a great meal. Brunch is wonderful with the wonderful sun shining in, the large windows make it feel so airy and full of energy. If you can do both I would, but if you can do only one, brunch would get my vote, unless it was for a romantic dinner for two, then I think the atmosphere in the evening would be better.

Hope this helps,

Aby

Brunch seems to be offering pretty regularly now on the three night Dream cruises. It's on the Nassau day. That may not be true for your particular cruise,. I recommend both dinner and brunch, both excellence in their own ways.

We really love Palo brunch - lots of choices, it's daytime so you can look out the windows and enjoy the view and there is sparkling wine! Palo dinner is also very nice - great service and wonderful choices. If I had to pick between dinner and brunch, I think I would go with brunch but you really can't go wrong with either.

Really enjoyed the brunch, what a great experience. And the choices!! Mmmm!

No, not ALL. But most. Typically, if a cruise has a sea day, there's a Palo brunch. Recently, the 3 night Dream cruises (with no sea day) have had the brunch added on the Nassau day.

Personally, I prefer the brunch to dinner (and I love the chocolate souffle). Now, that was before the menu change at dinner about a year ago. I still prefer brunch, but I'm more likely to go to dinner also, on occasion, now.

Brunch is wonderful, we have only done 2 short cruises where it wasn't offered. We felt like we were missing something like something was missing too.
Dinner is very good as well. Its so quiet and peaceful compared to the MDRs, its a nice change for a night or 2.

Personally prefer the Palo dinner over brunch anytime!

Ditto. The chocolate souffle at dinner is great.

We love both Brunch and dinner but if I had to choose one, I would def go with Brunch. The buffet is so delicious!

We prefer brunch over dinner for a greater variety and less fancy food.

Wow...which is better, chocolate ice cream or chocolate candy? Just saying, Palo is such a delight for either brunch or dinner, and they are really different. Brunch is less "formal," because it is daytime and just because it is basically a buffet. Table service at dinner (for the same price) is pretty classy, yet just about as comfortable as you can get (I'm saying nothing stuffy). The menu at dinner is pretty varied, and the several courses are a lot of fun. OTOH the huge variety at brunch is a lot of fun, and you can order some dishes as well as use the buffet. And the brunch dessert table let you try a "mini" portion of several choices!

I'll take one of each. But I will confess that every time (about 25 visits to Palo so far), I promise myself at dinner I will try a dessert other than the chocolate soufflé. A promise I haven't kept yet!

My husband wants just the brunch this upcoming cruise. Who knows maybe we will add dinner once aboard. Love Palo!

Prefer Dinner, but love both

Give me some crab legs, chicken parm, a grape pizza and I am happy!

One note - the grape pizza is no longer on the menu for brunch. But there are reports that you can still ask for it.

We were able to get it in March on the Dream. I didn't tell my husband. I just found our waiter and ordered without my husband knowing...you would have thought he had died and gone to heaven.

We prefer dinner mainly for the ambiance and the moonlight on the water. The menu is more to my liking as well. I found I ate far too much at Brunch and felt a little queasy for a few hours afterward.
