Attire
Formal to semi-formal attire, such as cocktail dresses, suits, or dress shirts with slacks, is required for specialty dining venues like Palo. Swimwear, shorts, or casual clothing like t-shirts are not permitted.
How to reserve
Unlike many other cruise lines, Disney Cruise Line does not offer an all-inclusive specialty dining package that bundles multiple meals. Instead, specialty dining at adult-exclusive restaurants like Palo, Remy, and Enchanté is booked as individual, a la carte reservations, each with a separate per-person fee. You can pre-purchase your specialty dining reservations online through the "My Cruise Activities" section of the Disney Cruise Line website. The booking window for these highly sought-after restaurants opens on a specific date before your cruise, which is determined by your Castaway Club membership status. It is highly recommended to book as soon as your window opens, as reservations fill up quickly.
How to purchase
If you are unable to book your desired reservation online, you can try to secure one once you are on board the ship. On embarkation day, guests can go to a designated dining reservation desk, which is often located near a main dining room, to inquire about availability and get on a waiting list. Additionally, you can check the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app throughout your cruise for any last-minute cancellations.
Age restrictions
Palo is restricted to guests 18 and older, offering adults-only Italian or steakhouse dining with an upscale dress code. Children are not permitted in this specialty restaurant.
