I've been watching your excellent videos from The Sun Princess. This Dining and Food Breakdown video was extremely well done and very, very helpful. Thank you so much!
We'll be doing #20 on Princess in December, this time on the Sun. Princess Grand was our first in '99 when she was 6 months old. We've done Sabatini's on every one of the Princess sailings, noting the changes in its layout and design as the years went by. We've always had a great experience at the restaurant - not once have we been disappointed.
I was really disappointed. I have heard great things as well as disappointing comments as well. But the quality of ingredients was very high. Thanks for watching! #loveAboveAll
Thanks for the great info! We are sad that everything has not been completed for you but thanks for remaining pleasant and positive! Am so excited to cruise on the Sun!
Looks like the complimentary dining three levels are similar to Royal Caribbean Oasis class ship dining now, which is kind of cool. Sabatini could be a hit or miss depending on the ship, not unlike Jamie's Italian dining on RCL ship. You're probably right about Princess cruise food which are usually a tad better than many of the other popular cruise lines. Thanks for the updates and hope they gave you all a good discount on future Princess cruises due to all the venues and activities not being ready during your late inaugural cruise. I'm just hoping they get some if not all of these items fixed and ready when I'm boarding on May 11th in Barcelona which is about 9 weeks from now.😀
I am sincerely pulling for all of the cruises after us. I am meeting with some upper executives tomorrow. Lots of princess brass is on the ship. We shall see if they have good news. Thanks for watching #LoveAboveAll
The main dining room, all 3 levels. The Eatery (buffet) and the International cafe on deck 9. Deck 17 the Lido deck has Pizza by the slice, tacos, a grill (burgers, hot dogs, etc) Salad bar. So much to eat and lots of selections that you don't have to pay extra for 🙂
Thank you for sharing. We are planning on Sun Princess in March and I was confused about the dining options and what was available with Princess Plus. Did not know that Mini Suite guests could get another MDR option.
I have been in numerous Sabatini’s across the fleet and found them all disappointing. The last time we were on Sky Princess it was so bad we complained and walked out!
The Reserve Dining Room is not for all Mini Suites, but for Reserve Class Mini Suites. There should not be lines there, but people do get confused and think that Reserve Class means that you can reserve a table. This caused so much confusion on our last cruise on Discovery Princess. They should change it back to Club Class.
thanks for this breakdown. Great video and yes... I subscribed. LOL. Showing some love. Follow-up question about dining. Will Chef's table or Chef Table Lumiere be on the Sun? What about Love by Britto, Kai Sushi and Spellbound? I also ran across a mention of "hot pot" option? Is this included or does it fall under casual or specialty dining?
Kai sushi was there and operational. Love by Britto and Spellbound were both closed. Hot pot was a specialty option. The only casual options are Alfredo’s and the pub. Thanks for watching! #loveAboveAll
Thanks for showing us the food but I have a suggestion. It would be nice to be able to read everything on the menu, the focus was too blurry to see everything listed. Maybe the camera was too close to focus?
The last 2 times I had Sabatinis I was underwhelmed. Did you not try Catch by Rudi ? I had it on the Sky in September and thought it was phenomenal. I’m not much of a fish eater so I was very pleasantly surprised. Loving your videos. 👍
We had reservations there at Catch, but cancelled. We were just not excited about it. Now you’re making me rethink that decision. Thanks for watching #LoveAboveAll
Love this video.. very helpful and informative!!! Which steak did you have at Crown Grill? We have actually had 'bad' steak there. Do they offer a steak from the Butcher's Block??? Too bad you didn't scan and include that menu. THANKS!!!!!
We are booked to go on the sun princess on the 3rd August. We’ve gone for premier package. I’ve been trying to book speciality restaurants and I’m getting charged. Please can you help me? What do we do about that?
The Premier package gives you two specialty dining credits. You may have to reserve them once you're on the ship. I'd give them a call for clarity. I can't remember how we did it.
Hello First time to cruise this summer and thinking of Sun Princess in Med with our 12 and 14 year old. Other option is Oceana (but maybe not much for them, although every day in a port so will be off exploring!) We love food but don’t want an upgraded food package. Felt RC Odyssey and Oasis may be too many young children…but perhaps Sun Princess likely the same?? What will suit us? Do you have a video of the teen club room? Just watched your Park 19 video, will there be charges for using or for sanctuary? thank you.
RC does tend to be more toward families. Oceans would definitely be a much older crowd. Sun Princess is typical a little less family oriented but still ver comfortable for families. I’d go princess if the goal is less kids/families. #LoveAboveAll
NOPE. The Sun Princess was not ready to leave dock. The cruise lines are in it for the money with additional charges and selling drinks. How are you supposed to occupy yourself without entertainment? Watching the waves? Everything on that ship should be spectacular. You're paying top end fares for a premium experience. A premium desert is not a ice cream sundae. They need actual pastry chefs that make skilled deserts. Let's get real.

@@LoveonTour keep us posted on that! We are sailing in June and are hopeful that all will be up and running by then. Thank you for your videos
Thank you. I saw a video from another PC ship where the Sabattini's experience was not great.
What restaurants / eating places are free on Sun Princess without paying extra??
The main dining room, all 3 levels. The Eatery (buffet) and the International cafe on deck 9. Deck 17 the Lido deck has Pizza by the slice, tacos, a grill (burgers, hot dogs, etc) Salad bar. So much to eat and lots of selections that you don't have to pay extra for 🙂

Thanks for watching! Yes, Reserve Mini Suites get their own spot. #LoveAboveAll
I have been in numerous Sabatini’s across the fleet and found them all disappointing. The last time we were on Sky Princess it was so bad we complained and walked out!
Oh no! Well, that confirms my experience for sure.
The Reserve Dining Room is not for all Mini Suites, but for Reserve Class Mini Suites. There should not be lines there, but people do get confused and think that Reserve Class means that you can reserve a table. This caused so much confusion on our last cruise on Discovery Princess.

This is true. But nonetheless there were lines every single night. Thanks for watching! #loveAboveAll
We were also disappointed in Sabatini's. But the Liso pizza and burgers were great.
Thank you for sharing!
@Love on Tour THANKS for your helpful videos! 😀
My Pleasure. #LoveAboveall
Thank you for the video!
Thanks ☀️🥂☀️
Thanks so much ❤
Cagney's steakhouse on NCL. Fabulous
That's a good one too.
I already See what I'd like to Eat, right from the gitgo ❤

Thank you for this video. We are going on this ship December 14th
It’s an amazing ship! #LoveAboveAll
the asian food at buffet fair.....no egg foo young either, reserve dining weeks before going or you're stuck with buffet.

I had the Ribeye and it was very good. Thanks for watching. #LoveAboveAll
The old Sabbatinis food was excellent! Not a fan of the new one.
Did I hear correctly that anytime dining doesn't start until 7pm?
I believe it is 530-9. It is on deck 7. #LoveAboveAll
I guess it's not ANY time LOL

It would have been great to know what cost is for each restaurant.
@michaelzeneri. The prices came be found in the Princess app

is there an omelette station?
Yes there was. #LoveaBoveAll
may i ask if you fully paid for this cruise yourself and your opinions are entirely your own?
Absolutely. This is true for all of our reviews. We paid well into 5 figures total for this cruise. #LoveAboveAll
Is there a cigar lounge on board?
I don’t believe so. #LoveAboveAll
I am concerned that the people on cruises these days are a bit chav?
Scumbags changed Pizza to be an additional charge now???? OMG are you serious?
The cover charge is for a full meal; you can get free pizza by the slice on the pool deck.
Oh I see. Thanks for clarifying. @@michaels3003
