Ahoy, Jennifer! Thanks for sailing back by planDisney with your question!
New Zealand (or sometimes called Aotearoa, “the Land of the Long White Cloud”) is truly a dream destination. What an unforgettable voyage you have ahead! I’m so glad to hear that you and your husband are fans of the Prima Notte experience at
Palo. It’s such a lovely adults-only evening featuring fine Italian wines and perfectly paired small bites. I recently had the chance to enjoy this experience myself, and it quickly became one of my favorite ways to start a cruise, too.
I checked with a Disney Cruise Line representative today, and it looks like Prima Notte is generally not offered on sailings departing from New Zealand. While it’s often available on embarkation night for other itineraries, it typically isn’t scheduled on the shorter Australia and New Zealand voyages. The good news is that both the Palo dinner and brunch experiences are available for booking and are every bit as special in their own way.
So while Prima Notte might not be an option for you this time, there will still be plenty of magic onboard the
Disney Wonder, and as Dory would say (even if she’s from Sydney), “Just keep cruising!”
Sea ya real soon,
Eean
