DRS/NC Posted April 10, 2016 #76 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I'm not a morning person & usually skid into the buffet at the last minute on sea days. I'll have my first (probably only) suite experience in Aug. on the Emerald. This special breakfast sounds worth getting up for! I can always take a nap later. Waffles, choc. chip or blackberry pancakes, crisp bacon, melon .... where do I start (or stop)?! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRS/NC Posted April 10, 2016 #77 Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) Just thought of a question & this is the group to ask: I'm cruising solo. Any chance of sharing a table sometimes at breakfast in the Crown Grill? Edited April 10, 2016 by DRS/NC spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance of sharing a table sometimes at breakfast in the Crown Grill? Sharing a table for a suite breakfast is a little tough. I've done it with friends. Not sure if others would have been so accommodating. Get to know your suite passengers. Greet them in the hall. It may take a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyVeteran Posted April 11, 2016 #79 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Sharing a table for a suite breakfast is a little tough. I've done it with friends. Not sure if others would have been so accommodating. Get to know your suite passengers. Greet them in the hall. It may take a few days. The Cruise Critic rollcall is a good way to meet other suite passengers prior to your cruise. I've met the nicest people that way.:) Greeting them in the hall may work better for us in window suites (since we have our own private hallway), but it may not work so well for people in other suites scattered around the ship. We did end up joining another couple for breakfast in Sabatini's on a trans-Atlantic on the Ocean Princess. But this was a long cruise with lots of sea days on a ship with only ten suites, so Sabatini's was a lot more personal. Also the waiter was so friendly there that he made the whole place a community.

DRS/NC Posted April 12, 2016 #80 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Thanks! Unfortunately, the Roll Call for my cruise is almost nonexistent -- only 4 of us! (I began it last week.) There are 4 suites in "my" aft area; maybe I can meet the other folks. Anyway, I'll probably eat in the Crown Grill on sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseBound Posted April 13, 2016 #81 Share Posted April 13, 2016 My hubby loves the attention to detail when it comes to our breakfast in Sabatini's! The wait staff gets to know you personally and always has your favorite items ready for you. Great perk!!! Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggo11 Posted April 15, 2016 #82 Share Posted April 15, 2016 CC suite hive: how does Crowne Grill compare to Sabatini's for suite breakfast on Ruby now that Curtis Stone's Share has taken Sabatini's place?

critterchick Posted April 15, 2016 #83 Share Posted April 15, 2016 CC suite hive: how does Crowne Grill compare to Sabatini's for suite breakfast on Ruby now that Curtis Stone's Share has taken Sabatini's place? We never had breakfast at Sabatini's on Ruby, but I enjoyed Crown Grill more because it was more comfortable seating. It was the same menu, expertly prepared (except for an eggbeater omelet one morning that was flat and weird) and the staff were just as awesome.

shredie Posted April 17, 2016 #84 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Put me down for the I love breakfast at Sabatini's. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and Sabatini's makes it special. Is it possible to both eat breakfast in Sabatini's and dinner in SHARE on the same ship? (Spoiler alert: no.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metairiegal Posted December 9, 2016 #85 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Can you get a real table for 2? Or is it only "bench seating" tables for 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted December 9, 2016 #86 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Can you get a real table for 2? Or is it only "bench seating" tables for 2? On six cruises in a full suite, Sabatini's has never been crowded for breakfast. Two people will typically be seated at table for four with no one else.

j0el Posted December 9, 2016 #89 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hi all, We are currently on the Island Princess at the end of our cruise. We thoroughly enjoyed our Sabatini Breakfast each morning. I also casually asked the first morning if they had a mixed berry pancake. They had the batter and mix ready every morning in case I wanted it. It was so wonderful! enjoy I am always pleased by how any and all requests are handled. One thing I have learned is even if you have high expectations, they will often be exceeded. I don't cruise just to eat, but the breakfast at Sabatini's, as others have said, is a great reason to book a suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyVeteran Posted December 9, 2016 #94 Share Posted December 9, 2016 They won't seat you with others. Unless you request it. On several cruises, we've chosen to eat with others (usually people we met on Cruise Critic before the cruise). Since a couple normally sits at a table for two, you can join another couple already seated - if you and they want to. On the Caribbean Princess, Sabatini's has one table for eight. Next August we will have four couples (four brothers and our wives) traveling together. We will probably choose to eat at that table for breakfast, and the other couples will join us when they arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted December 10, 2016 #96 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Wondering if the new Club Class Dining will still also have "Breakfast at Sabatini's" for full suites ? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dickinson Posted December 10, 2016 #97 Share Posted December 10, 2016 On Princess' website I searched for suite privileges and it does not mention Sabatini's. It says there is exclusive club class dining in the MDR for breakfast, lunch on sea days, and dinner. Another bulleted item is about the mimosa at breakfast. I'm afraid Sabatini's breakfast is not a perk anymore unless certain ships retain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseclan Posted December 10, 2016 #99 Share Posted December 10, 2016 We were just in a suite on the Ruby and they said that the breakfast for suite guests is not going anywhere. It is now called complimentary specialty dining mimosa breakfast on the suite amenities list. It is either in Sabatinis or the Crown Grill.
