Food & Dining
Dining options to match any mood On tonight's menu? A signature Princess® pasta – served with freshly-prepared sauces. Or perhaps grilled halibut, perfectly complimented by a chilled glass of chardonnay. Another night, it could be homemade Italian pizza by the pool. That's the beauty of dining on a Princess ship – there's always something to match whatever your mood might be.
Your choice of Anytime or Traditional Dining A sumptuous variety of dining options awaits you on every voyage. Princess offers you the choice of Traditional Dining with fixed time and seating, or Anytime Dining with the flexibility to dine when and with whom you choose. Traditional Dining is the classic cruise experience, allowing you to dine at set times with the same table mates and wait staff each evening. Anytime Dining* offers more flexibility, giving you the freedom to dine with whom you choose, anytime between 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. in a selection of elegant, upscale restaurants. Both options offer menus featuring creatively-prepared appetizers, entrees and desserts that change each day of your voyage - as well as several healthy Lotus Spa selections. * Not available on Sun, Dawn, and Sea Princess (while in Australia), Ocean, or Pacific Princess.
Other Casual Dining Options Enjoy delicious entrées in the buffet or grab some hand-tossed Naples-style pizza out on deck. You can even stay-in and eat well with complimentary room service. Horizon Court Open from 5 am to 11 pm (12 am on select itineraries), the Horizon Court offers a wide selection of buffet meals or snacks. The top-of-the-ship restaurant features floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning sea views as a backdrop for a quick breakfast or casual dinner. When you visit Horizon Court, you'll find an experience that is more in keeping with a dining room than a traditional buffet. Tables are pre-set with cutlery and napkins and gracious Princess servers will be standing by to provide beverage service to each table, whether you order self-service selections or bar items. Poolside options Out on deck, enjoy a fresh, cooked-to-order hamburger, chicken sandwich or hot dog from our grill, or opt for a freshly-baked slice of hand-tossed pizza. Or grab a cone of ice cream at our ice cream bar. It's all conveniently available to you poolside on the open decks. Afternoon Tea Indulge in afternoon tea with finger sandwiches, pastries, scones, cookies, music and white-glove service. It's the perfect interlude between sunning out on deck and a star-studded evening at sea. Enjoy a wide selection of premium teas — from Earl Grey to herbal infusions. And of course there's coffee, if you prefer. The choice is up to you. Pub Lunch* Step into the Wheelhouse Bar onboard for a taste of British tradition. You'll find a menu of favorites advertised on chalkboards and displayed on counters for an authentic pub feel including fish & chips or a hearty Ploughman's Lunch. * Locations may vary from ship to ship.
Room Service You may call for personal, complimentary room service at any time of the day or night. To have continental breakfast delivered to the stateroom, fill out the breakfast card included in the stateroom portfolio (one is also placed on the pillow) and hang it out at night on the stateroom door in order to receive delivery the next morning at the time of your choosing. The complimentary room service menu includes sandwiches, salads, a selection of hot dishes and delicacies from the pastry shop; plus, coffee, iced tea and milk are available 24-hours a day!
Ultimate Balcony Dining Enjoy an intimate, romantic dining experience with breathtaking views and a special meal served by your own dedicated waitstaff on your stateroom balcony. Ulitmate Balcony Dining features a hosted cocktail party, fresh flowers, champagne and a deluxe four-course meal featuring delicate sweet lobster tail or juicy steak among many available delicacies. For those who want to start the day with a romantic meal, opt for a breakfast which includes specialty pastries, fresh fruits, quiche, smoked salmon and other special treats served with a half bottle of French champagne.
