Disney Cruise Line is making some changes to its adult-exclusive dining experiences at Palo, Palo Steakhouse, and Palo Trattoria.

Beginning October 22, Disney will phase out the prix-fixe DINNER menu in favor of à la carte dining featuring guest favorites. Brunch remains prix-fixe.

🍽️ What does that mean?
Rather than selecting a set-price meal, you'll build your own dining experience from the menu. Whether you're craving a favorite appetizer, a delicious entrée, or something sweet to finish, the choice is yours!

📅 Here's when the changes begin:
• October 22: Disney Wonder
• October 23: Disney Fantasy, Dream & Wish
• October 24: Disney Magic, Treasure & Destiny
• October 26: Disney Adventure

🥂 A BRIGHT SPOT FOR PLATINUM & PEARL CASTAWAY CLUB MEMBERS!
Our exclusive dining benefit isn't going away! We will still receive a $55 per person dining credit toward à la carte dinner selections, including additional guests staying in your stateroom.

A few important details:
✨ The credit applies to dinner only; no longer brunch.
✨ Beverages and gratuities are additional.
✨ Any dining charges exceeding the $55 credit are your responsibility.

While I know some of you loved the simplicity of the prix-fixe menu, I embraced the à la carte menu from the moment it was introduced. I hope you end up loving being able to order exactly what you want!

And for my Platinum and Pearl cruisers, I'm especially happy to see Disney continuing this well-earned loyalty perk!

Are you Team Prix-Fixe or Team À La Carte? 🍷

🐧🦈🐋 𝐆𝐀𝐋𝐀́𝐏𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐒 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟔: 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐍𝐒, 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐒 & 𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐀𝐒… 𝐎𝐇 𝐌𝐘!! 🌎❤️

Just when I think the Galápagos can't possibly surprise me again… 𝐈𝐓 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒!! 🤯

This morning, the Zodiac crew once again WON the wildlife lottery! 🏆😂

We were treated to 𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚́𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐬, sea lions, blue-footed bo***es, and more incredible wildlife. Honestly, I could have watched those little penguins all day!

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧… 𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐀𝐒!!! 🐋🤯
YES! KILLER WHALES!! In the GALÁPAGOS!!

Orca sightings here are incredibly rare, and we were lucky enough to see them in the wild! Another one of those pinch-me moments that makes this expedition so extraordinary. ❤️

Of course, the snorkelers weren't about to let the Zodiac crew have ALL the bragging rights! 😂

This afternoon, they returned with some absolutely AMAZING underwater photos of sharks, rays, and even penguins swimming beneath the surface! 🦈🐧

I think we can officially call today a WIN for everyone!

That's one of the things I'm loving most about this National Geographic–Lindblad expedition. Every excursion is different, every wildlife encounter completely unpredictable, and you truly never know what's waiting around the next corner.

𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚́𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐬, and after everything we've experienced so far, I can't even imagine what Mother Nature might have in store for our grand finale!

But I sure can't wait to find out! 💙🌎

🌎🚢 I'M SO EXCITED THAT I GET TO SHARE SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH YOU!! ❤️🎉

I've been experiencing a most INCREDIBLE adventure here in the Galápagos with National Geographic -Lindblad Expeditions, and now I have an opportunity to share a little something EXTRA with my clients! 🤩

Let's just say… being onboard has its perks, and one of those perks I can pass along to YOU! 😉 Here's the really exciting part…
It's not just for the Galápagos! This applies to ALL Lindblad Expeditions voyages!

Dreaming of Antarctica? 🐧
The Arctic? 🐻‍❄️
Alaska, Amazon? 🦦🦜 Another incredible wildlife adventure?
The Adriatic, Greece, Thailand? Or another extraordinary destination on your bucket list? 🪣

NOW is a really good time to talk to me! I'm discovering firsthand just how special this style of travel is, and I'd LOVE to help you experience it for yourself.

⏰ Here's the catch — this is a VERY limited-time opportunity, and I need to hear from you BEFORE I step off this ship!

📩 Message me ASAP if an expedition cruise is on your bucket list. You don't need to have all the details figured out just yet!

Trust me, this is one conversation you'll want to have! 😉❤️

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: More Alaska. Same Brilliant Lady. On sale November 12! 🛳️

Glaciers calving into glassy water. Mountains with snow on their shoulders. Brilliant Lady slipping through the Inside Passage like she owns it. 🏔️

You told VV what you loved after the inaugural season. You told VV what you wanted more of. So for her third Alaska season in 2028, VV listened:
Four new itineraries, each built to get closer to glaciers, wildlife, and the ports you want! 🐋🐻🦀🦦

What’s on tap:
• Hubbard Glacier cruising, plus Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier
• Juneau, Skagway, Sitka, Ketchikan, Haines, and Icy Strait Point
• 7 to 12 nights, sailing May through September 2028
• Round trips from Seattle, plus Vancouver departures

See all the itineraries in the attached photo.
My picks:
#1 — I’m a HUGE fan of the two different home port cities, Vancouver and Seattle. Juneau Adventures by Disney Hubbard Glacier are wins!
# 3 — Hubbard Glacier, Haines and Juneau + 12 nights!!
# 5 — Late season cruising = salmon runs, bear cubs and all the wildlife! Plus Seattle and Vancouver!

📆 Thursday, November 12, 2026 it all goes on sale. I’m marking it on my calendar NOW!! Let me add you!
