We just made final payment, very exciting. Our TA is going to be on the Royal in a couple of days so we had to pay while she was still at work and not cruising. We're looking forward to January 26th when we finally get to see what the Royal has to offer for ourselves.

I have searched but can't find a definitive answer on this one. Can someone list the dining options and clarify which ones are complimentary and which have a surcharge. I am talking about all food options on the ship, both casual and specialty venues.

For fee: Sabatini's, Crown Grill, Fondues, Crab Shack, Chef's Table and Winemakers Dinner, Ultimate Balcony Breakfast and Dinner.

 

I hope I didn't forget anything.

Thanks for that link. Sounds like a tantalizing array of dining options. After reading it I still have some questions about pricing. I know that specialty drinks will come with a price, but what about the other offering in those venues?

 

Are the following options free and if not what is the pricing?

Vines

Ocean Terrace

Tea Terrace

Pub Lunch

Princess Live Cafe

Preggo Pizzeria

Swirls

Cabana Picnic

 

I'm assuming the everything in the Horizon Court is free except for the specialty coffee section?

 

Again, thanks so much for the help.

Thanks everyone that really helps!!

Has anyone seen any MDR menus from Caribbean 7 Night yet? Was hoping some getting off today would be able to enlighten us.

[cruzyduzy]

Thank so much for the answers and the link.

 

Now, for one more question. Has anyone posted bar drink menus? What about the drink packages? It looks like the limit on drinks and wine is 6.75 and from the one post I have seen, the prices are higher than that on most wines and blended drinks. Can anyone confirm this? If so, can you pay the difference.

Oops, looks like the drink package I was looking at was for groups only. Guess that answers that question but I do have another....

 

Are there daily discount drink specials or any others like happy hour that I should know about?

Intranet services - on smartphone/ipad, etc. It includes Princess Patter (activities with times/locations/map), itinerary, dining rooms (with hrs and menus for specialty restaurants), access to your folio. We loved this feature!

On our recent cruise they had a daily "Signature Recommendation" drink however it wasn't advertised at a discount like previously. So apparently the old daily special & happy hour deals are now gone. If you are Platinum, Elite or in a suite they have a nightly cocktail party with snacks from 5:00-7:00 with a $5 nightly drink special.

It even had port brochures including maps & hope this is expanded fleetwide but probably not economically feasible for Princess to do.

[dmwnc1959]

I wonder what the first Drink of the Day that's offered at the Outrigger Bar aft?

 

Do they also have drink specials in Crooners and Vines?

 

Looking forward to trying out the Whisky Flight at the Wheelhouse Bar too.
