Sacto Rick Posted September 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I've been on several cruises but have only eaten at Sabatini's once. My question is how can I see the mdr menu's before reserving a table. I don't want to go on a night they might be serving something in the mdr that I don't want to miss.

jasbo49 Posted September 6, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2016 At least one of the ship's dining rooms will have that night's dinner menu posted outside the door some time fairly early in the morning. You probably won't find it at a dining room that is serving breakfast or lunch that day. I'd look at the aft MDR. Also, on embarkation day, they usually have a table set up for people who need to adjust dining arrangements. I think they often have menus for the whole cruise available there.

JF - retired RRT Posted September 6, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) We did this on one of our cruises: told the waiter we wanted to see the menu for XX night. He told the Head Waiter and the Head Waiter brought the menu to our table. We checked it and saw that that particular night would work for us (& our table mates - we did the dinner together), gave the menu back and made a reservation for the night that we had decided on. Doing it that way, you don't have to wait until the menu is posted outside the MDR door. Edited September 6, 2016 by JF - retired RRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacto Rick Posted September 6, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Thanks guys. Great suggestions. Now I just have to choose from the crab shack or crown grill. I haven't eaten at either and will only be choosing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted September 6, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Crown Grill would be our choice! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loonline Posted September 6, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Thanks guys. Great suggestions. Now I just have to choose from the crab shack or crown grill. I haven't eaten at either and will only be choosing one. We love the Crown Grill. They also have prawns, shrimp, and lobster along with their steaks. You can get the best of both worlds. Here is the link for the menu http://www.princess.com/downloads/pdf/Onboard_Experience/Crown-Grill-Menu-Sample.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akaicb Posted September 6, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Thanks guys. Great suggestions. Now I just have to choose from the crab shack or crown grill. I haven't eaten at either and will only be choosing one. I have not experienced the crab shack, but we have done the crown grill before and it was one of the most amazing meals I have had. When I asked how much to have a lobster tail added to my steak, I was told there was no extra cost and 4 showed up. Instead of deciding which sides to order all of them came. And dessert was a sample of all they had to offer. At that time it was $25 a person, I believe it's now $29 but even at that price I could not get a meal like that on land.

Sacto Rick Posted September 6, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Looks like the crown grill is the one to choose then! I might get king crab at Tracys Crab Shack in Juneau anyway. I'm gonna need some halibut and fish before it's over too... I'm getting my appetite on..:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellon1 Posted September 6, 2016 #14 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Ask your waiter or head waiter to get you the menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennybenny Posted September 7, 2016 #15 Share Posted September 7, 2016 The pursers desk has always been able to provide menus for a specific night. I had never tried asking in the dining room. Next time, that will be easier :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules59 Posted September 7, 2016 #16 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Crown Grill is our favorite! As far as the MDR, we can usually find out early in the day what they have that night. We usually do the Crown Grill on a formal night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcruzer2 Posted September 7, 2016 #17 Share Posted September 7, 2016 A question, I realize I could do as someone suggested and ask for the week's worth of menus. BUT on our last and 1st princess cruise, they had a Bavarian night and FOR US we could not find one thing to order or one thing on the buffet, SO I am specifically interested in booking Crown Grill on Bavarian night, is that a thing that I could specifically ASK for, or would they be like "what?"

chefchick Posted September 29, 2016 #19 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Sorry if this has been answered before (new to Princess)...if we book a specialty restaurant and also have the AIBP, can we get wine pairings with each course? (As long as those wines are available by the glass, under $10 of course). Also, does the cover charge for each restaurant include gratuity? Thank you in advance for your help.

My question is how can I see the mdr menu's before reserving a table. I don't want to go on a night they might be serving something in the mdr that I don't want to miss. I have asked to see the menus for the entire cruise while having lunch in the main dining room on embarcation day. If you don't make it to that, 'dining problems' session with the maitre d' on the first afternoon, and ask the hostess if the menus are available.
