Astro Flyer Posted February 8, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Sailing on Star Princess in September. Would appreciate comments on menu in the Crown grill and quality of food and cost. Any comments welcome. Have not tried it before. Many thanks I've enjoyed several dinners at the Crown Grill including on the Star & each one had great food & service. The Star's former CG location in the old Painted Desert dining room was replaced in November with a new wood paneled dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo222 Posted February 8, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I don't think that picture is the Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted February 8, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I don't think that picture is the Star. The Crown Grill was rebuilt in November & that is a current photo shown on Flickr along with other ones of the CG & other updates: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denisern2 Posted February 9, 2012 #7 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Just off the Star this past Saturday. Ate at the Crown twice. Once for steak, once for Rack of Lamb. Yum almost went a third time but then I realized I was off the Ship. Make sure you go at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobed1927 Posted February 9, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Is the Crown Grill always completely booked? On a recent Celebrity cruise the specialty restaurants were seldom completely booked and they offered a 20% discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a recent Celebrity cruise the specialty restaurants were seldom completely booked and they offered a 20% discount. I've always been able to make a reservation however the early times can be booked quickly. Also on formal nights it's been more crowded with those who prefer to dress more casually. I've never heard about any discounts even when it's so empty that most of those eating there are officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2ice Posted February 9, 2012 #10 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Is the Crown Grill always completely booked? On a recent Celebrity cruise the specialty restaurants were seldom completely booked and they offered a 20% discount. Last week on the Grand not only was it not booked up but on the first sea day there was a Chef going through the Horizon court looking for booking. Our food was very good but the service was disappointing. We went at 8 and they didn't have enough waiters to handle the rush, even with several open tables.

In the past when it got busy in either specialty restaurant they would bring in additional waiters from other dining venues to provide good service. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrspaper Posted February 12, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have always found the steaks cooked to perfection. You can add lobster tail at no additional cost. I have always tended to get lucky. Whenever I bring a bottle of wine to dinner, I've never been charged a corking fee, on any of my 8 Princess cruises. maybe they feel badly that you're already paying extra. I always bring a few extra dollars to tip the wait staff. Veggies and extras are served family style on the table. You can pick whatever you want.

cuzie Posted February 12, 2012 #15 Share Posted February 12, 2012 We love the Crown Grill. My husband and I make sure to eat there at least once or twice each cruise. The $25 per person charge is a bargain. The food is excellent and bountiful. As a previous poster stated, go hungry. The $25 charge covers as much food as you desire. The Black and Blue onion soup is to die for. Though we always make a reservation, I don't think you would have trouble just showing up as it never seems to be too crowded. Hope you enjoy it.
