Pacific Princess

Is the Buffett open for breakfast, lunch and dinner on the Pacific Princess daily?

Thanks

Absolutely yes! It generally closes for a half-hour a few times a day for cleaning and to change over the food offerings.

Thank You:)

On ONE of my small ship cruises (it may have been the Ocean or Old Royal, not the Pacific, and I think it was a Med cruise), they turned the buffet into a sit-down restaurant at night. But it was still buffet dress attire. I haven't seen it since, but be aware it could happen. Still plenty of choices, though. Also, between lunch and dinner, they may just offer sandwiches and salads. But check out the patter for the ice cream bar - open every day at a certain time.

the pacific princess buffet is quite small but the three times i've been on her, the food has been exceptional.

plus it has the lovely outdoor seating area off the back.

As of last year, the buffet was just a regular buffet at dinner, not like it was a few years ago where it was a sit-down kind of service. I think they just tried that out for awhile. There are fewer choices for dinner since it's a smaller ship but don't forget there's the grill too. And room service if you can't find anything you want in either of those venues.

I was under the impression that the sit down dinner in the buffet was only on the World Cruise. That was our experience over three different years on the ship, but, of course, things change.

Yes, but that was still self serve in the buffet. On the WC, on sea days, there was no buffet service in the Panorama. The tables were still set the same way (for dinner, but that’s the way they are set for dinner on all the ships, now that I think about it), but passengers were handed a menu with three or four entrees on it.

Thanks. I saw the area set up several times when getting a late night snack but never ate dinner there so didn’t know what it was like.

Yes, it is, and we enjoyed many a semi-private sunset dinner on the aft deck in the warm Caribbean air. Awwww, those were nice.

I’m glad they didn’t do sit down service there because the whole point for us of the buffet is getting exactly how much we want, when we want, and to spend the amount of time we want to take for dinner up there.

We agree. We didn’t like the menu dinners in the Panorama Buffet but others saw them as very much a positive thing. And it was not easy to swing through after a show for dessert and coffee. But thankfully, we only encountered it on the WC segment that we did.

Have heard pretty much universal approval of PP and cannot wait for our first cruise on her in December

We are going on the Dec. 22 cruise. Which one are you on? :D

Does anyone know when the PP is scheduled to have the internet upgraded and unlimited plans available?
