Gunner22aa Posted January 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Prime Rib in the Crown Grill. Worth the surcharge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASSYMI2 Posted January 13, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks so much for the response. May have to splurge on Crown Grill. I think I would rather hear the favorites in the main dining room and buffets. It was my fault for not specifying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted January 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) It's been a few years since our Princess cruise, but I had a small side dish of Fettuccine Alfredo every single night for dinner. The waiter knew to bring it. BEST I ever ate. I hope they still offer it! Edited January 14, 2014 by Langley Cruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INeedAMaiTai Posted January 15, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Love Boat Dream is a heart shaped dark chocolate, very dense, mouse. Google pictures and your mouth will start to water. "Pp" is just short for "previous post". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted January 15, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 15, 2014 It's been a few years since our Princess cruise, but I had a small side dish of Fettuccine Alfredo every single night for dinner. The waiter knew to bring it. BEST I ever ate. I hope they still offer it! We also almost always order a small side dish of Fettuccine Alfredo which we share. Remember, the Princess Volcano on the Kid's menu if you like Banana Splits. :D LuLu ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASSYMI2 Posted January 17, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Boy am I disappointed. I thought Princess was known for their good food. Guess not.....so few replies.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted January 17, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Boy am I disappointed. I thought Princess was known for their good food. Guess not.....so few replies.:mad: You'll be fine. Probably few responses because there was another fairly thread asking the same. Enjoy your upcoming cruise and the food! :) LuLu ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted January 17, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Boy am I disappointed. I thought Princess was known for their good food. Guess not.....so few replies.:mad: Uhhhh.... this Foodies forum is not very well visited. Don't be disappointed or mad; the number of replies here in no way reflects the quality of the food, OK? You can also go to the Princess board and use the Search this Forum function - type in "favorite food" or something similar; as stated, this has been discussed before. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbird81 Posted January 17, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Stay away from the Qual and Venisson Teneriffe....it sounds good but it looks like SPAM.....and I unwillingly ate it. As for food, Duck a L'orange is AMAZING. So is the lobster of course, the Mussels were to die for, and their prime rib was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevario Posted January 17, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I loved the warm milk that the wait staff poured on my oatmeal and the brown sugar they spooned on it. Is the simple little touches that wow me on the Golden Princess on two sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevario Posted January 17, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I would suggest to try something you have never eaten before. If you don't like it try something else. I like the escargot, Beef Wellington, my oatmeal lol, and yes the Love Boat dream omg. I enjoyed everything I ate while on board. They main thing is to relax, enjoy and be pampered on your trip. Now you got me looking for my cookbook got last year on The Golden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennisgirl31712 Posted January 17, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I know you want to hear about the food in the main dining room and buffets but if you can afford it, you should do the Chef's Table. They only allow 10 people/night and you have to call the DINE telephone line when you first get on the cruise to try to reserve a spot. You get to see the kitchen and the head chef prepares a multi-course meal of whatever they want for you that you can't get anywhere else on the ship and everything is delicious. It's pretty pricey though (not sure how much it is now but when I did it 2 years ago I think it was $95/person) but I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divingaggie Posted January 19, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 19, 2014 My favorites in the MDR: Fettucine Alfredo Goat cheese souffle All of their salads Almost all of the fish dishes Flourless chocolate cake Beef wellington Also, the pizzas are amazing. My husband (born in Italy & brought up in New Jersey--so a big lover of pizza) loves it & has it every single day at least twice a day. Finally, don't miss out on the other times during the day during which you can visit the MDR. Their breakfasts, lunches and high tea are so good. Enjoy Princess!!

cruisefoodie Posted January 26, 2014 #19 Share Posted January 26, 2014 My personal opinion is that Princess has the best food of the lines we've tried. They do red-meat really delicious. Here is a link to some pictures from the Crown: http://www.cruisefoods.com/index.php?ship=crown_princess Here are my faves: Prime rib Goat cheese souffle Fettuccine alfredo (make sure you get the meal size with the cheese nest!) Flourless chocolate cake (don't know if they still have it) Floating islands in vanilla sauce Tiramisu Pistachio cream Escargots Cold fruit soups Their pizza is delicious Princess love boat dream Have a great cruise!

sunbelle1974 Posted April 8, 2014 #22 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I see that some of you mentioned the Beef Wellington and Goat Cheese Souffle. Those sound yummers!!! Questions: 1) What dining venue would I be able to order those at on ship? 2) Would I be able to order those is I am planning on doing the "anytime" seating? 3) Do you all recommend and or like the anytime seating"? Thanks in advance for your info! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry and Lucille Posted April 15, 2014 #23 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Princess crispy bread rolls cant be beat. Takes a little wrangling, however, I think that it is worth it. For appetizer I really enjoy Escargo. The desert cheese plate. A bread roll and a glass of wine. Yummy start to a meal. Specialty steak, prime rib, chops, etc. are really good. Worth the extra cost to me. Just my thoughts. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your info! :) Yes those should be on the menu in MDR, either tradition or anytime (same menu) but not every day. Menu change daily. I am not a fan of anytime seating but it seem to be popular. That is what is so nice, you pick whatever you like. Advantage of traditional, same waiter, no waiting for empty table, no worrying sharing table with someone unpleasant (but could be stuck with someone unpleasant for the whole cruise.) Anytime, flexible time, different table/view, meeting different cruisers. Everybody has different preference but personally, Princess is my favourite by far. Most days, there are at least 3 main entrée that I want to have and I use to order 2 but now being older I can't eat so much. On other lines, process of order is to pick the item I least dislike. I also like the food on HAL too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wish it were cruise time Posted April 23, 2014 #25 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) We have always had great food on Princess. We just sailed on the Royal in March, and we had anytime dining. The first night we ate at the Crown Grill. It was great, we had the garlic french fries with our steaks, which were to die for. The second night, we waited for a table for two in the Symphony dining room, then we made reservations every night after for the same table. (Table 114, tucked way back in the corner. Served by Jose from Portugal) Our waiter was outstanding. He made recommendations every night and they were spot on. Some nights we ended up with multiple entrees because we just had to try something else. I had some kind of seafood every night and it was always perfectly cooked. One night, I had the scallops with the gratinated (???) potatoes, that was outstanding. The eggplant Parmesan was so good that my husband ate it, and he does not eat eggplant. You HAVE to try Alfredos, unbelievable pizza. The International Cafe has food twenty fours hours, but the lunch selection is really good. Princess' tuna sandwiches are great, and I am picky about my tuna. I have to say that my husband was looking forward to their tuna for weeks. Every salad we had at the International Cafe was also really good. Oh, the hard rolls are absolutely unbelievable. We cannot get a great hard roll where we live and that is something we both look forward to on every Princess cruise. All in all, no bad food. It was so good, we ate when we weren't really hungry!:D Edited April 23, 2014 by Wish it were cruise time another thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
