Regal Princess - Dining Guide & Restaurants Review

It's dining time, with our Regal Princess Food & Restaurant Review.
We were excited on our first Princess cruise to see if the food lived up to its reputation. So what did we think of eating aboard Princess Cruises Regal Princess?
We visit the two speciality restaurants, Sabatinis & Crown Grill, as well as taking a look at what it's like to eat around Regal Princess, and what we thought of the reworked Horizon Court Buffett.
As usual for our reviews, we record our commentary in a single take, live, whilst watching back our footage.
We hope you enjoy our review, and thoughts on what it is like to dine on Regal Princess.

    Thank you Carol, we are so happy you enjoyed it. Regal is such a gorgeous ship. It's really easy to get drawn into just the newest, fanciest ships and forget how beautiful ones like Regal Princess are. Have an amazing cruise, and let us know how you got on, when you get back. Linzi & Mark

    I had a lovely dinner at Crown Grill about six months ago. I think the restart was tougher on the specialty restaurants than it was on the other venues. They must have hired new staff for the restart. I love Alfredos. They made a great white pizza! The buffet was good, but they were heavy on Indian food. I like Indian food, but not daily!

    Hi Abigail, thanks for watching the video and commenting. We had a MUCH better crown grill experience on Enchanted earlier this year and we suspect you are correct on the restart and we are so pleased we gave it another go. Gigi's which has replaced Alfredo though was nowhere near as good, which was a huge shame. Have a lovely day, Linzi and Mark

    Thank you for you comment Laurie, although we wish we were alone in that experience. It was such a shame as we were really looking forward to Crown Grill having heard nothing but great reports. To be fair, as we said In our review, they did everything possible to correct it and we cannot fault them for trying to correct the problem. Fingers crossed next time you and us get the proper Crown Grill experience. Linzi & Mark

    This was right after the lockdown ended Ginnie, it was one of the very first sailings for Princess (not just in the UK), and it wasn't great. Our more recent experiences on Sun & Ruby have been really enjoyable though, so looks like it was more a case of restart issues than anything more.

    Hi Linzi and Mark, As always I enjoy your videos, one thing that I may suggest is to show the venues by category, perhaps casual dining to the specialty dining rooms, I realize it was your first video of this type but I found I was confused because it jumped around a bit, better than I could do but just a suggestion.

    Great suggestion Steve, thank you. We have a couple of cruises coming up over the next six weeks and are just sorting out what we want to do so we will defo plan for this and make it all feel a bit more joined up. You are right it was the very first cruise we shot for the channel and we have to think about what we film in advance but we also need to think more about how we edit it together and your suggestions comes into both sides. Linzi & Mark.

    @@SuiteNatured Hi Linzi and Mark, I am going to give you a couple of channels you may want to look at, by no means would I copy these but there may be something of interest. The first is "Vacations by Tiffany", she is a travel agent, this is a new channel. The other is Harr Travel, he is also a travel agent and gives you more of and overview of the ship. I do think you two are more entertaining and I don't want you to think I'm trying to butt in but the more you have to look at may be a benefit and these are from the states (I believe). Regards

As you know the channel is new, and we are constantly looking how to improve, and whilst we will never copy another channels style, we of course, like everyone are influenced by those we follow or regularly watch. We already follow Harr, and really enjoy his style of presenting, not heard of Vacations by Tiffany, but we will check the channel. Really appreciate the comment and feedback, Linzi & Mark

    People pay a lot for the Club Class Dining, for the main dining room.

    Some People do pay a lot for the upgrade many just for club class for the dining. For us on this particular 4 night cruise, it was not a primary reason for the upgrade. And we were glad it wasn't. It's not that it was bad. It wasn't. The food was good in there. But it was an extension of the main dining room with just a couple of exclusive dishes in total. Much was the same as the MDR. We are sure on a future longer Princess Cruise (next year) we will use it more and hopefully the table side prep will return too.

    I just come from two weeks on the regalia and let me say to anyone Sabatini it’s not worth paying for . The restaurant was almost empty don’t believe those review that tell u is great , trust me save your money . We tried to book the Crown grill and was fully booked all cruise stay . The food in the main restaurant is good hit and miss the dessert are great , finally all those review fast internet big lies rubbish internet I had to use 4 g so my friends very slow .

    Hi Salvatore, what a shame. Having just come back off Enchanted Princess we can say the experience was vastly different to when we went on Regal Princess. Now to clarify, when we went on Regal it was running at 50% capacity. Enchanted was a 100% (but felt even more). Sabatinis was great on Regal whereas Crown Grill (on that one) was really poor. However on Enchanted the Crown Grill was really enjoyable and worth the upgrade. Though generally speaking the food elsewhere was nowhere near as good as the year before. And this seems a very common report on reviews across Princess in recent months. The Internet was completely unusable on ours too. And we ended up using 4/5G whenever we got close enough to shore. Hopefully Princess will turn this around. Thanks for watching. Linzi and Mark

    Some suggestions: Don’t talk over each other. Cover your breasts, it is distracting . Mentioning a different cruise line while reviewing the one you are on is in poor taste. If you are going to video a restaurant menu, get close enough so the viewer can read it.

    Thank you for your comment Drue. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Our reviews are meant to be very conversational and we may occasionally talk over each other, as we do this in a single take but we will try harder. We are not trying to mimic other vloggers, and we get the point on mentioning different cruise lines, but if we feel it is relevant to it, we will mention it. We paid for both of our recent cruises in full ourselves, and feel that as a viewer, which we also are, we would want to know how something compares. But we do take your point. Camera work will get better, like anything with more practice, and if you look at some of the more recent videos (Princess was the first we filmed), they do get better. Hope you keep watching.
