Sabatini's question

[Beryl]

Is Sabatini's open for business on the first night of a cruise? I'm thinking of going there the first night onboard (Diamond) if it is!

Hi Beryl!

We were on the Coral Princess for the 12/10-12/20 Panama Canal Cruise and Sabatini's was open every night. We explored the ship after embarkation and they were taking reservations for the entire cruise. I believe they are also open for lunch - but only on sea days.

One thing to bear in mind - it is a lot of food! You only select your entree and dessert. All other courses are a tasting menu so be prepared! If you want to make a show, arrange your reservation accordingly. The meal will take 2 to 2 1/2 hours. One down side - they will charge you extra for a cappucino or espresso on top of the meal.

Enjoy!

Thanks Mike! I know it's quite a meal and am going to starve myself on day of embarkation. If I can get a reservation at Sabatini's on embarkation day it will mean no lunch at the Horizon Court for me :D!!!

Beryl:

We ate at Sabatini's on the first night last year on the Star Princess & on our Xmas cruise it was open the first night too, so hopefully you can do the same on your sailing. I think it was the best night coz its slow and the service was impeccable, you really did think you were at a 5* gourmet restaurant. I enjoyed the whole experience even though I didn't really care for the food...just me being picky.

Thanks for the info cruzfool! Hopefully we'll be able to dine there on our first night. If not, there will be 6 other evenings to choose from. I was just hoping to miss all the "first night" madness that generally occurs in the other dining venues!

We were on Diamond during the Thanksgiving week. We ate there the first night and had a wonderful time. Service was excellent.

Is the cost still $25.00? Also Is the dress code the same ? We will be on Diamond In April.

 

Thanks Steve

The cost is $20 and the dress code is the same as the dining room and restaurants. Personally, I did not care for the food. Very odd selections. The lobster with champagne butter was fantastic though.
