As far as I know the only specialty restaurants on the Crown are Sabatini’s (my favorite) and Crown Grille. What is the 3rd restaurant you are referring to ?

Nolafan Posted November 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2023 We preferred the Crown on our Cruise. Excellent service and food. Unfortunately our experience at Sabatinas wasn’t worth it. The service was good but our food was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crown Grill had been so good on every ship, our favorite too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebbleman Posted November 8, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted November 8, 2023 oh, I thought there was a French restaurant and another Steak House on the ship. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crown is an older ship the bigger ones have more There is sometimes a pop up now and then but to reassure you we have enjoyed meals in both.

At Crown I am partial to both the filet and the lamb chops. At Sabatini’s almost all the pastas are good especially the carbonara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted November 8, 2023 #10 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Crown Grill & Sabatini's. Try one or both. All depends on what kind of food you enjoy. Here are the sample menus. https://www.princess.com/content/dam/princess/onboard-experience/food-dining/pdfs/menu-crown-grill.pdf.coredownload.inline.pdf https://www.princess.com/content/dam/princess/onboard-experience/food-dining/pdfs/menu-sabatinis-trattoria.pdf.coredownload.inline.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XBGuy Posted November 8, 2023 #14 Share Posted November 8, 2023 It is difficult to rate one restaurant, in this case Crown Grill or Sabatini’s, as consistently better than the other. We have regularly dined in both on multiple Princess ships. On some cruises we preferred Crown Grill. On some cruises we preferred Sabatini’s. The reality is that the staff and the management of these rooms are constantly changing, and I am convinced that this explains my inconsistent experiences. Usually, the headwaiter is engaging, customer oriented and provides both good direction and good support to the service staff. However, sometimes he is less engaging and just assumes that the service staff is doing their job. Similarly, the care that the head chef shows will directly reflect the quality of the dishes coming out of his galley. My fatalistic view is that I won’t know until I walk in. @pebbleman I would suggest that you just review the menus for these two restaurants over on the Princess site and pick the one that looks better to you.
