I Be Cruisin'

I think we'll give the Crown Grill a try one night. Can we wait until
we board to make reservations, or is it best to reserve before boarding?

I don't think Princess lets you make a reservation ahead of time. Some
sailings there is no problem making a reservation when you want it,
other times the Crown Grill will be very busy. I would make your
reservation the day you board the ship.

Are you familiar with the International Cafe on the Crown? Fantastic
place to hang out, have a cup of coffee(fancy or plain) and enjoy some
of the free cookies, pastries and other food there. Also if you are a
coffee drinker, Princess has a coffee card. I don't remember the price,
maybe something like $25 and you get a certain amount of specialty
coffees, plus all the freshly brewed coffee you want.

Perhaps, but then we've all learned that you are a very fussy and hard

Sometimes the expense is more about creating a special night away from
tablemates than whether or not the food is "worth" it. (and where in
NYC can you get a multi-course meal for 20 bucks?)

It is true that Tom is a hard to please eater but I have to agree with
him on Sabatini's. Every time I have eaten there I have left not
satisfied. A lot of food in many tastings courses with very little
being special. The last few times I only went because I was with a
group that wanted to go. Last summer I wanted to go to the Crown Grill
and was overruled.

For what it's worth, we ate in the Crown Grill on the Crown Princess
last August when we cruised the British Isles. While the meal was
fine, we didn't find it anything "Special". We much preferred
Sabatinis.

Just goes to show it is a matter of choice and maybe also a matter of
which sailing you are on.lol

Same as I enjoyed the Rubens in the side cookery on the carnival
freedom, I had at least one a day because they were just that good.
We are all different, and our tastes vary, thank god for that.


As for Sabatinis, there is a very high Italian and Italian-American
population where I live. I'd venture a guess that there is an Italian
restaurant for every price and just about every Italian cuisine
imaginable. While some of you may have enjoyed Sabatinis, I'll wait
until I'm back home or in Rome for an Italian food fix. We'll probably
give the Crown Grill a try as I like seafood and it's offered there.
