Dining

Fine cuisine becomes and art form on a Princess cruise. Each meal is created by Princess’ superb chefs, who infuse creativity and diverse ingredients to make every dining experience different. In addition to the amazing food, you will be met with impeccable service while dining.

You can experience this in the traditional Botticelli Dining Room, which offers meals at the same time each day. If a set schedule for eating doesn’t work with your plans for the day, anytime dining is available at the Michelangelo Dining Room  and the Da Vinci Dining Room so you can eat at a time that works better for you.

Specialty Dining
In addition to their exquisite dining rooms, Princess Cruises offers a variety of specialty restaurants including Sabatini’s for Italian favorites and the Crown Grill for steak and seafood. Each one offers something unique and, of course, delicous! To ensure you get a spot at the restaurant of your choice on your preferred dining night, reservations are recommended. In addition, a cover charge applies.

Casual Dining
Sometimes onboard a Princess cruise you might feel like you’re having so much fun doing activities that you don’t want to take the time to eat! If that’s the case, you can stop by one of the ship’s casual dining venues, where you can get something that’s fast and filling. You can even order take-out or eat by the pool!

Knowing who to tip and how much can be overwhelming. To make things easier for you so you can just enjoy your cruise, Princess automatically adds a discretionary gratuity charge of $11 for suites and mini-suites and $10.50 for all other cabins per person, per day (including children) to your shipboard account on a daily basis. The staff who share these tips include the wait staff, cabin stewards, buffet stewards, galley staff, laundry staff, and others. Casino dealers and Lotus Spa personnel do not share in these tips since not all passengers use their services.
