I was wondering about the rotation for dining on the cruises. I'm going on a 4-night in February :sohappy: and went ahead and booked Palo for the first night, but now I'm thinking that may not be the best choice.

Can anyone tell me what nights there are the repeat restaurant? I was thinking maybe the first and fourth night repeated but I really have no idea haha. I know I won't know my specific rotation until I check in but I thought someone might know when the nights repeat.

On the 4 night cruise, on the third night, you go back to the same restaurant you did on the second night. I would go to Palos on the second or third night. Just FYI, the third night will be pirate night, so you'll miss the piratey themed dinner. The second night would be my first choice unless you have animators that night, and you do NOT want to miss the first night there.

Passporter does a pretty good job of guessing your rotation, and sometimes if you call the cruise line, they will tell you your rotation.

What are your party's travel ages and I can tell you what passporter's guess as to your rotation?

No problem!

For all adults, Passporter says it's most likely you will eat at Tritons, then Animators two nights in a row, then finish on Parrot Cay. They could be wrong, that's just normally the way it works.

Assuming that is right, I wouldn't want to risk missing Animators on the first night you get to eat there, that's when they convert the walls and waiters clothing changes from black and white at the beginning of your meal to full color at the end.

So given a choice between that and the piratey dinner, I would pick Palos for the third night. You will still go to the pirate party with everyone else, and have the pirate buffet later that night. Although after a meal at Palos, you will probably be too full to eat any pirate food!:lol:

Thanks so much! This is my first and probably only cruise so I'm kind of clueless as to what to do. And it's got to be special since it's my college graduation present! haha

Now to see if there's still openings for dinner on the third night.

You'll love it!! If there's not any openings, keep the one you have. When you get on board go right to Rocking Bar D and try to change it. For two people you might have luck, and then you'll know for sure what your dining rotation is. Palos is definitely a don't miss!!:)

Thank you so much for all the help!

And I got lucky, there was a 7pm on the third day...the only time left for the rest of the cruise except for Day 1! :D
