Date night at Palo

We really enjoy our date night at Palo. It is a 130-seat, Adult Exclusive restaurant that boasts Northern Italian cuisine for dinner nightly, in addition to brunch on 4-night and longer cruises, and high tea on 7-night and longer cruises.

Named after the signature long poles used to push and pull gondolas in and around Venice, Palo is the preeminent venue for Disney dining on the high seas. Boasting elegant Venetian glass, inlaid wood paneling and sweeping 270-degree panoramic ocean views thanks to the restaurant's elegant floor-to-ceiling windows and semi-circular layout, Palo is the perfect setting for Guests 18 years of age or older looking for a more intimate—and more romantic—dining experience. Venetian masks adorning the walls, a backlit bar at the restaurant's center and an open kitchen only add to the magic.
