marden1970 Posted May 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Yes, we were in a suite for the South Pacific cruise and breakfast in Sabatini's was wonderful. I like how the staff greets you and remembers what you like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobo1937 Posted May 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 23, 2023 We were in a suite for an April Coastal Cruise and really enjoyed the breakfast in Sabatini's. Carlos, the Restaurant Manger and all the staff took great care of their guests. Princess recently announced they are opening a new restaurant called Catch which will replace Bistro Sur Le Mer on several ships. But that same announcement indicated Sabatini is moving to the Bistro location and Catch will take Sabatini's place on deck 5. This is supposed to happen this fall on the Discovery.

That has not happened on Sky - Sabatinis is still in its original location and Catch has replaced the Bistro - not say that is the plan for other ships but just the situation on Sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo1937 Posted May 23, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Interesting. The deck plan for the Enchanted, the first ship to get Catch, shows it on deck 5 and Sabatini on deck 7. The press release from Princess in April indicated it would be the same for Sky, Majestic and Discovery. It will be interesting to see what happens on the Majestic and Discovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier for them to recall what you've previously ordered now they can look you up via the Ocean Medallion as soon as you walk in 😉 But the Sabatini breakfast is one of the better suite perks for sure, though the 360 dining experience puts it to shame on the ships that have it!

CruzeQueen2 Posted May 25, 2023 #12 Share Posted May 25, 2023 The Catch is now on the Majestic, deck 7, replacing Sur le Mer. Opened May 5th. Awesome setting. We were seated at the windows on two occasions. Did not find the Piazza activities to interfere with our enjoyment of the experience there. Food was great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromep Posted May 25, 2023 #13 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Suite breakfast is always offered on every sailing, on all ships, and typically it is in Sabatini's, however it can be offered in any dining venue that the food and beverage management on board want to use. If Sabatini's wasn't available they would move the suite breakfast to another dining venue, like the Crown Grill. I've not experienced suite breakfast being anyplace but Sabatini's, but I've read a number of threads where the poster had suite breakfast on their sailing in a different specialty restaurant.

Hulagirl Posted May 25, 2023 #14 Share Posted May 25, 2023 On Discovery right now in Skagway. Always so enjoy having breakfast in Sabatini's. One of our favorite ways to start the day on a cruise. Also love the concierge lounge just for suite guests and is a favorite of ours. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 360 Experience, as we've experienced it, is offered by princess maybe a couple of months before sailing. First time we were called, 2nd time we were emailed. Not all ships have it and I've no idea if all suites were filled to capacity if they would prioritize seating opportunities due to their being more people than available seatings on a short sailing.

Purple Gallinule Posted May 26, 2023 #17 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Well, here is another view on the Sabatini's breakfast. We have had suites and Club Class (now renamed Reserve Collection - RC) We always eat in the RC dining room, but when we got our first suite we tried Sabatini's. We did not feel it was anything special. We are always treated so well by the RC staff and by having all our meals there, they really get to know us. Suite passengers also eat their meals in RC (or can if they want to). Maybe now that ships are sailing at full capacity we will change our mind about breakfast. We will have to wait and see when we have our suite on our Panama Canal cruise. But that is what cruising is about. Choices - none terrible! Bon Appetit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed the breakfasts in Sabatini's Felt very special I've heard this sentiment expressed countless times here. We've sailed in suites and in CC minis on a variety of ships. Suite bkfst sometimes in Sabatini's, sometimes in CG. Either way it's good but we've come to the conclusion that it is absolutely not a bit better than bkfst in CC. I know that ours is a minority view and borders on blasphemy to some but nevertheless after scores of suite bkfsts and an equal number in CC, we cannot in good faith look upon a suite bkfst as "the best suite perk".

Rare Plato123 Posted May 29, 2023 #22 Share Posted May 29, 2023 On a recent Royal cruise , in Sabatini's, I ordered eggs florentine with a side of proscuito and Grana Padana chunks. It was excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV The best thing to me on suite breakfast is the fact that they really get to know you and our favored teas hit the table immensely whereas we might get 2 or 3 different servers in CC. It is more the relaxed atmosphere the food in both are excellent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bgwest Posted May 30, 2023 #25 Share Posted May 30, 2023 As I said, our position borders on blasphemy with some but all I can do is report our past experiences. yes, suite bkfst is nice but not something we find to be a huge perk. now, if it’s a choice between suite bkfst and the main MDR, no contest.
