Royal Princess – Foodie Review with PICTURES!

I don't think that's true. These pictures look like all the dishes I've had on Princess over the years, and I have yet to sail the Royal or the Regal. I just had the artichoke and crab dip a couple of days ago on the Golden, and it was just as yummy as ever.

I agree. Not that there's anything wrong with what was shown but almost everything is the same as any other ship. There's nothing that's just a Royal specialty that I can see.

Absolutely amazing post and pictures. Thank You!

Yum, yum and more yum! :D

Thanks for posting your pictures!

i sailed recently on the grand, and most everything was dryes over cooked. we were not impressed in any way with the food. so going on the royal and really hope its just the grand that is like that.

Thanks for your Royal review. Happy to hear it was a positive experience for you. We also enjoyed the ship and look forward to boarding the Regal in December.:D

Hopefully they have the same kind of food on the Regal, when I cruise next month.

Love your pictures & review, DH and I will be sailing on the Regal in December and hope they offer the same menu choices as the Royal!! It all looks so yummy.:D

YUM! Made me even more excited for our upcoming cruise! Thanks for sharing!

I thought the same thing, everything looks like it does on every other Princess ship, be that good or bad in a personal opinion, as for me its average to slightly above average cruise liner food

Awesome photo's, now you've made me very hungry.

Thanks, Cruisefoodie.

We agree. Royal was great. Your pics have us geared up for when we get back on her at the end of the year. Thanks for taking your time to provide a great picture review.

Safe Journeys, Paul

That was AWESOME. Not going on the Royal anytime soon, but I remember last year LOVING that you could use your coffee card in the Horizon Court to get specialty coffee. Didn't have to go down to the IC for my coffee then up to the Horizon Court for breakfast.

Going on the CB two weeks from today and hoping the food looks as good. But I am sure it will be amazing anyway. I've never been disappointed by the food on Princess.

Then again.. if life is good maybe I will go on the Royal this winter. I'll be watching for last minute deals!

FYI: Checkout the Regal pricing for the December 7 or 14th cruises. Some (in our opinion) decent prices.

Thank you so much for sharing. We appreciate the trouble you've taken.

Do you recall who the Maitre D' was on your cruise please? We also always attend the Culinary Demo with the Executive Chef & Maitre D' - often they're better entertainers than the real ones! Must away - time for a meal, which I have to prepare! Then must book on Royal - you've whet our apetites. Bon Apetite! Rose & Mario

Thank you for the review and photos. The food looks wonderful. ;)

Do you know what the rotation is in the MDR? We would be going on a 12 night cruise. So is the menu a 7 night with repeat nights, or is there a full 12 night menu?

Thanx OP for the great food porn . Great pics. :)

Thanks for the foodie review! I wish more people did Princess reviews, I love reading them! Glad you had a great time, would love to go on the Royal one day. :)

By any chance do you recall seeing this bar waiter on the Royal?

Rose & Mario,

I do not remember the name of the Maitre D', perhaps I can look back on the Patter and find out. They were absolutely wonderful!

Glad you are enjoying the review!

Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with us. Can't wait until April when I'll be aboard.

Thanks for the wonderful food review on the Royal. We loved sailing on her last fall on her Maiden TA and thought the food was wonderful. We're booked on two more Royal cruises in 2015 and Regal this November, so hopefully the food on the new ships continues to be excellent. Thanks for taking the time to do the review with the fantastic photos! makes me hungry just to read about it.

On our last Princess cruise last month it was slightly below Applebee's or Denny's quality except for a few dining room dishes, and the buffet was on par with the old Smorga Bob's places. However, as long as there are salad bars and bread rolls and cheeses and pasta and pizza, all is well. :) I did not starve, even though I lost 4.5 lbs due to lack of interest in blasé food. Couldn't wait to get home to my own home cooking.

By any chance do you recall seeing this bar waiter on the Royal?

No, I don't remember him particularly. What part of the ship was he in? I do, however, remember the awesome super happy guy at the IC, he made my day every time I saw him :)

I'm so enjoying all your photos, can't wait till our April cruise :D

If not asked already, how did you not do the Chef's table with us?
