Disney Cruise Dining Just Got More Expensive— Are The Prices Now Too High?

Sharing is caring!

Disney Cruise Line is introducing updated pricing for adult dining experiences across its fleet.

The price increases will roll out gradually on a ship-by-ship basis, depending on the departure location.

Notably, cruises departing from European homeports or Australia/New Zealand will not see any changes at this time.

We have seen a number of price rises since 2021 and these take the cost of the adult dining even higher.

Here we take a look at the new prices and ask whether or not the price hikes are too much.

Palo / Palo Steakhouse

Palo is available for both brunch and dinner. All of the Disney ships have a Palo restaurant.

Disney Wish and Disney Treasure (and soon the Disney Destiny) have Palo Steakhouse.

Palo offers both brunch and dinner, each providing a distinct experience.

While the brunch buffet is sadly no longer available, brunch now features an indulgent blend of made-to-order dishes such as eggs benedict and other elevated breakfast and lunch options. And of course the huge Mickey Waffles.

Dinner, on the other hand, is a more intimate, multi-course experience where guests can take their time to enjoy thoughtfully prepared dishes.

There is a fixed menu and an a la carte menu for dinner.

At both Palo and Palo Steakhouse across the fleet, the following price adjustments will take effect:

• Brunch: +$5, bringing the total cost to $55.
• Prix-fixe dinner: +$5, bringing the total cost to $55.

There is no information on whether the a la carte menu will also have a price hike, but I would expect this will be the case.

If you look at the price increases in recent years Palo was $40 before the pandemic, but increased to $45 in 2021 (and the buffet was discontinued). Another price increase came into effect in 2024.

So the prices have increased from $40 to $55 in 4 years – an increase of almost 20%.

Remy

Available on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, Remy offers an upscale dining experiences featuring menus crafted by Chef Arnaud Lallement (of the 3-Michelin-starred l’Assiette Champenoise) and Chef Scott Hunnel (of Victoria & Albert’s at Walt Disney World).

The updated pricing is as follows:

• Remy Champagne Brunch: +$5, new price $85.
• Remy Dessert Experience: +$5, new price $70.
• Prix-fixe Remy Dinner: +$10, new price $145.

Enchanté

Onboard the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, Enchanté delivers a fine dining experience curated by Michelin 3-starred Chef Arnaud Lallement.

The pricing changes are as follows:

• Enchanté Lunch: +$10, bringing the cost to $145.
• Enchanté Dinner: +$10, bringing the cost to $145.

I recently wrote a review of my Enchante experience and you can see my views, including how I felt that an $85 upgrade was not explained

My Honest Review of Enchante

While not explicitly confirmed, it is expected that the upcoming Disney Destiny, set to launch later this year, will feature the same pricing for Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté.

Rollout Schedule for Pricing Changes

The updated pricing will roll out gradually across the fleet on the following dates:

• Disney Wish: June 20
• Disney Treasure: June 21
• Disney Dream: June 26
• Disney Magic: June 27
• Disney Wonder: June 30 (excluding Australia/New Zealand sailings)
• Disney Fantasy: November 16 (following dry dock and transatlantic cruise, starting with the first voyage from Port Canaveral)

Important Notes for Guests

If you are planning to dine in any of these restaurants:

• Guests with existing reservations made before the price change will be charged at the original rate.
• New reservations made after each ship’s respective change date will reflect the updated pricing.
