First ever dcl cruise. where to start?

[KeithOP]

absolutely brilliant many thanks

Everyone I've spoken to has said the same about dining with others, that they've formed lifetime friends, but it's such a HUGE thing for us that just this first time, I'd very much like to remove that nagging worry. So I'll give them a call!

We're real foodies so I'd love to try palo/remy even at the expense of a show in the rotationals... I know remy does a special tasting plate experience, early evening of the first day. Small plates with wine pairings... I've heard that we can only book 1 night at each of palo/remy? if that's true, do you know if that first evening "small plates" would take one of those nights?

Hi Keith
Yes, all booking for Remy/Palo would be one booking. Palo is lovely and has great food whereas Remy is fine dining. Cost wise, Palo is $30 each and Remy is $95 each.

The dinner at Remy consists of around 8 courses plus, as you say, you can add the wine pairing. These are not 'small plates' but proper courses and it's just the standard menu available every night, not anything special so to speak (Remy is special though!)

Once your time comes along to be able to book stuff online (75 days before your cruise), you may find no availability for Remy or Palo anyway (especially brunch which is very popular). I wouldn't do it on your first night as that's the night for meeting your servers in the MDRs. If you do book it for the first night, please let the dining team know or they'll wait for you at dinner - the location for speaking to them will be on your first day Navigator (ship newspaper).

Hi there - thanks again the "small plates" thing that I was on about looks like a special disneyparks.disney.go/bl...-disney-dream/

So not a full proper evening meal experience which is why I was wondering if it would stop us doing a full remy at a later date?

So it really is true that the maximum we could book would be 1 night at remy and 1 at palo and as you say, it may be hard to book even that!

I guess we were thinking nights 4 and 5 or something but of course we dont know which nights will be formal which nights would have a show etc :/ so really we're planning blindly

My apologies, I didn't equate small plates to the French at all!

So, $50 each but you have to book it onboard. It would not count as one of your dinners as you can book them beforehand.
We did the dessert one and it was MMmmmmmmmmmmmmm nom nom nom

Thank you, I need to update it more as I think I only got the first few pages done.
If there's anything you feel is missing, let me know as a newbies eyes are sometimes better than experienced ones!
