PurpleTraveller Posted July 27, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) I have only eaten at the Crown Grill on the Majestic and the food was excellent however the whole experience was not. We were seated at table 14 which is right next to the divider between the restaurant and the Crown Bar. It was extremely noisy with the bar full of people talking and we asked to move but the restaurant was full. The people next to us got up and left as it was so noisy. People constantly squeezed between our table and the divider, which was a gap of about 60 cm or 2 feet, so they didn't have to walk the extra few feet to the restaurant entrance. We even had people sitting in the bar ask us about our meal. If you go to the Crown Grill it would be a very good idea to ask to be seated well away from the Crown Bar.

LSGDRG Posted July 28, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) I was underwhelmed by both the Chines restaurant and the French restaurant. I sampled these restaurants back in 2019. I didn’t care for the menu in the Chinese restaurant, but then I don’t like duck in my entrees. With the French restaurant, the issue was more about the location. It was noisy. I had an excellent experience at the steakhouse. Edited July 28, 2021 by LSGDRG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted July 28, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) There is a new Harmony menu on the current Majestic cruise which is much more Americanized like Panda Express than the original menu which is still being shown on the Princess website.

I’d prefer that they’d change it to a Sabatini’s Trattoria menu while in the Americas & in Europe. Based on photos it’s the same decor & they could just change the photos hanging on the walls to Italian themed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted July 28, 2021 #8 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The original menu looks intriguing. I'm not tempted by the dumb-downed one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bflysmile Posted July 28, 2021 #9 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Agreed on Harmony. I’m on the Alaskan cruise next week and was excited by the noodle bar, tea place and more interesting Harmony options. We usually sail Royal Caribbean and are used to their specialty restaurants (which we prefer now) but Princess doesn’t seem to have the same number or variety. Hopefully that means the focus is quality in the main dining room (which I think suffers on Royal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original menu was great and there were some very unusual and interesting dishes on it.we liked it so much we went back a second time - and we were only doing a six night cruise. I'd probably go once on the rather boring new menu, just for the duck salad and the desserts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some regular tea, but none of the stuff with Boba or specialty teas. 😞 My son will be very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Informatics Nurse Posted July 28, 2021 #13 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Does anyone know if you can go to the Crown Grill bar and just order appetizers? I'd like to have Steak Tartare if they still have it on the menu. I love that stuff. 😋 I'll still probably go for a full meal, but I would be okay having that more than once on the cruise. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzinNoony Posted July 28, 2021 #14 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I guess I may be the only one that likes the new menu better than the old one. I am an adventuresome eater, but few items on the old one looked appealing. We will definitely try it out on our Sept. 5 cruise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seniorladycruiser Posted July 29, 2021 #17 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I was also looking forward to the old menu and we were going to book it for 1 night. After looking at the new menu we changed our minds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a pay by dish restaurant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay S Posted July 29, 2021 #19 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I would like to hear about Le Bistro Sur Le Mer (aka the French restaurant.) That's the only menu that tempts me (done Crown Grill to death.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they had it on the Crown when we were on our transatlantic cruise in October 2019. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to me it's like if the steak place decided to become a fancy burger spot, and keep the same price.

If you are referring to the free 1st evening specialty restaurant dinner, it can be either of the two specialty restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
