It was beyond well attended (as in major lines for it, which is notable because there was never a line for anything as we sailed at only 65% full). We both commented that it was far superior to pub lunches in the past, bigger crispier fish. It is clear it is making its was back into rotation. Good to hear. They must have sufficient crew to take care of serving people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CineGraphic Posted September 17, 2022 #52 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Make sure you give your fish a good look-over. Here's the Pub Lunch fish they served in the buffet this past February on the Regal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Salty Dog pub (and its upcharge) replacing Vines on some ships, I think the handwriting is on the wall. Princess passengers like pub lunches? Hey! Let's charge them for it. All part of the plan to erase Princess' traditions (especially the free ones.) Is this factual or is it speculation based on your well-established distaste for everything Princess? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on the day (last sea day?) when there was no menu on the Medallion app for the Da Vinci dining room for lunch. We were in the area so out of curiosity we went to check to see if it was going to be open for lunch. That was when we saw a short line at the door, and posted on the menu board was the menu for the Pub Lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an American, I would have to agree with you. Spent a lot of time in British pubs (probably too much,) and the Pub Lunch does not resemble anything I've seen in a real pub. Not even the beers that are offered, and they can't even pour a true pint. Edited September 18, 2022 by SiliconCruiser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom of the Seas Posted September 18, 2022 #67 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Pub lunch offered last sea day on the Ruby was terrible in the MDR (fish sticks).....they did offer “fish & chips” one night for dinner that was really good.....look for the Guinness pie in the International Cafe on a Port day (excellent)..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Crown Grill is not a real steak house where they charge $50-$60+ just for the steak. It's an attempt to provide something a little different from the regular lunch offering. No, It's not the best fish and chips but it's nice to have something different. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it isn't as tasty as authentic fish & chips from an English pub, it's pretty good, & gives us another option. This Texas couple have had only a few real pub fish & chips experiences, so we like the Princess version just fine. ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ombud Posted September 19, 2022 #72 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It was the last sea day on the Enchanted Princess Transatlantic (9/15). Great mushy peas. Several options but I saw this thread too late to take a pic of the menu. Also nc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted September 19, 2022 #73 Share Posted September 19, 2022 They had the pub lunch in the dining room on a port day last month on the Caribbean Princess. I had the chicken curry. It was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am well aware of what the Crown Grill costs....My "point" is, that you can't compare a ship restaurant to a land based restaurant in most cases. So the Crown Grill at $29 is good but it sure doesn't compare with an upscale land based steak house. So the Pub lunch (zero$$) is ok but it sure doesn't compare to the pub lunch that you're used to. They are each just "extra' offerings on a ship for the enjoyment of the passengers....that's my point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
