lovevacadays Posted October 4, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2009 From everything that was posted on my thread about the entrees, etc on the Crown Grill we must go to this restaurant. I think I will call as soon as we board. For recent Crown Princess cruisers, have reservations been fairly easy to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean s Posted October 4, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 4, 2009 It really all depends. On our last cruise on Crown we made reservations for both formal nights as soon as we boarded. Both nights when we were having dinner a number of people walked in without reservations. We were sitting near the entrance and watched people as they entered. On another cruise we tried to get reservations the second day on the ship and could not get a reservaion on any night before 9PM. We have a cruise coming up on the Crown and we will make reservations as soon as we board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted October 4, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 4, 2009 If you know which night you want then do call the DINE line from your cabin phone on embarkation day. Its not that hard. But its sure worth it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted October 4, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I made my reservation shortly after boarding, for the first formal night. I think what helped me was that I like to eat early, so I made my reservation for 6 p.m. When I arrived at the restaurant for my reservation, there might have been 3 or 4 tables occupied, and by the time I left, the restaurant was about half full.

macmax Posted October 4, 2009 #7 Share Posted October 4, 2009 My experience is that other than formal night(s), you can pretty much walk in to both Sabatini's and Crown grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcl1710 Posted October 4, 2009 #9 Share Posted October 4, 2009 On our March cruise the DINE line said that the Crowne Grill was booked. On a whim, we walked down and they had had so many no shows that we walked right in. There is no penalty for not showing up so many people don't show. Enjoy your cruise.

travelers07 Posted October 4, 2009 #10 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Just off the Crown transatlantic. On the last formal night we walked by the restaurant and on a whim decided to ask if they had a table. It was about 8 pm and looked empty but we thought they might have reservations for the empty tables. The Maitre d' actually laughed- which we thought could mean they were fully booked. But no- they were really empty. During our lovely meal, there were 3 tables filled in the entire Crown Grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The night we went was French night in the dining room and there were a few tables filled in the Crown Grille. (We were on the same cruise as you.) We had no trouble getting a reservation either. I had the filet and onion soup and they were the best I've ever eaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bphman Posted October 5, 2009 #12 Share Posted October 5, 2009 On both cruises, Sabatini's was the more popular of the two but there were empty tables in both. Felt Sabatini's had better food as the Crown was only fair in my opinion. If you make reservations when you board, you should have no problems. I am sure there were no-shows which I feel should be charged if you don't cancel in time. We saw that happen on the Ultimate Ship's Tour as well which is a shame because others were denied out of the selfishness of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
