Dining on a Princess Cruises voyage offers an experience in itself, a journey marked by tradition, innovation, and a clear sense of enjoyment. From a formal dinner in a grand dining room to a relaxed al fresco lunch beside the pool, every meal feels thoughtfully considered.

The quality remains consistent, whether it is a perfectly pulled espresso at the International Café or a celebratory dinner at a specialty restaurant.

Included dining

The main dining rooms on a Princess ship deliver consistently high quality and attentive service, with menus that evolve daily to keep things interesting. One can expect elegant dishes such as seared scallops and prime rib, alongside regional specialties that reflect the ship’s itinerary, from Mediterranean pastas to fresh Alaskan seafood. The World Fresh Marketplace buffet offers a vast selection in a more casual setting, while the passenger favorite, Alfredo’s Pizzeria, serves hand-tossed pizzas worthy of Naples. With options for both traditional set dining times and more flexible arrangements, the atmosphere remains relaxed yet refined.

Speciality dining

The specialty dining venues on Princess ships can rival top restaurants in any city. Crown Grill presents premium cuts of steak and fresh seafood, grilled to perfection in an intimate, club-like setting. At Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria, the focus is on authentic, time-honored recipes, from handmade pasta to a classic tiramisu. For something more relaxed, The Salty Dog Gastropub, created in collaboration with award-winning chef Ernesto Uchimura, serves elevated comfort food with flair. Here, gourmet burgers and craft beers are accompanied by live music. The most indulgent experience is The Chef’s Table, a multi-course tasting menu hosted by the executive chef, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the galley’s artistry.

Bars and lounges

The bars and lounges aboard a Princess ship are stylish yet welcoming, with a venue to suit every mood. Crooners Bar is known for its live piano music and expertly mixed martinis, served with a nostalgic twist. For wine lovers, Vines Wine Bar is a sophisticated haven offering curated tastings paired with tapas. At the Good Spirits at Sea cocktail experience, storytelling is blended with mixology, creating an immersive and sensory evening. Out on deck, the Outrigger Bar and Seaview Bar serve classic cocktails with expansive ocean views, perfect for watching the sunset.

Allergy and dietary options

Princess Cruises handles dietary needs with care and professionalism. Gluten-free, vegetarian, and low-sodium options are readily available across all dining venues, and the staff are well-trained in managing allergies. While vegan options have improved, it is advisable for guests with specific or complex requirements to inform the cruise line in advance to ensure a seamless dining experience. The crew’s attention to detail and willingness to customise meals are often praised by returning guests, highlighting a commitment to personal service.
