Culinary Euphoria aboard Crown Princess
September 26, 2005
When Princess Cruise Line's extravagant new ship, the Crown Princess, makes her much anticipated debut in June of next year, she will come equipped with an incredible host of mouth-watering new onboard culinary offerings. Princess Cruises has long been known for its extraordinary array of alternative dining opportunities onboard each one of its magnificent vessels, and the Crown Princess will certainly be no different!
From charming sidewalk café and coffee shops, to colorful pool-side grills and elegant 5-star fine-dining establishments, the Crown Princess will take Princess Cruises' Anytime Dining concept to an entirely new level, providing her guests with a number of Princess Cruise favorites, as well a several amazing new casual and specialty dining options never before seen in the Princess Cruise fleet.
A brand new feature aboard the Crown Princess is the piazza-style atrium, designed to be the bustling hub of the ship with a quaint street café atmosphere. With Italian-inspired decor, this charming street café environment will be an inviting venue throughout the day for those passengers seeking a more casual dining option. Additionally, The International Café will feature a rotating menu based on time of day, and the Vines wine and seafood bar will cater to passengers with a craving for light fare, such as ceviche, escabeche, shrimp, and oysters, with the perfect delicious accompanying glass of wine.
Princess Cruises' now signature favorite, Sabatini's Italian restaurant, has been expanded, and relocated to the scenic aft end of the ship, providing diners with a multi-course Italian dining extravaganza accompanied by a breathtaking panoramic view of the glistening sea below. Princess' popular Sterling Steakhouse has been modified into the Crown Grill, a steak and seafood house with a theater-style performance kitchen. Crown Princess' highly skilled chefs will dazzle guests with their incredible culinary skills, all while preparing one of the most succulent meals they have ever had!
Another Princess Cruise trademark, the 24-hour Horizon Court will serve up round-the-clock buffet fare, while the adjacent Café Caribe will offer unique Caribbean specialties in a deluxe buffet setting, with a focus on a different island or region each night, plus seafood extravaganzas on formal evenings.
As with every other Princess Cruise ship, passengers aboard the Crown Princess will have a choice between traditional seating and the restaurant-style Anytime Dining in the ship's three large main dining rooms. Passengers can also enjoy a variety of poolside treats at the hamburger and hot dog grill located right out on deck.
The 113,000-ton Crown Princess is scheduled to debut in June 2006, initially offering round-trip 9-day sailings to the Caribbean and Bermuda departing from New York. In the fall of 2006, the ship will move from New York to San Juan, Puerto Rico for a series of Southern Caribbean cruises.
