Pop-up Crab Shack

[cruise*enthusiast]

What does it mean by "Pop-up"?  What is the service charge for dining there?

[dweeb]

My last cruise, on the Crown, It was $39.00 plus 18% service charge.  It was cheaper last summer at $29.00 and no service charge.

The Crab Shack doesn’t have a permanent venue on the ship, so they can offer a pop up area to hold the 

meal, like a MDR or a venue that’s closed during lunch time.

 

We had a pop up crab shack for lunch on the Sapphire recently, Mid ship MDR.  It was $29.99 plus 18% gratuity PP.  Book through the dine line on your room phone.  You can check the patter or call ahead of time to see what day it will be held.

I guess we were getting robbed at paying $39.00 Plus the 18%!!!

Can we use one of our free casual meals there?

No, crab shack is not considered casual dining option.

I am actually trying to figure this out myself. If you look at the website under the Casual Dining category, the description does include "pop-ups". The terms and conditions for Plus and Premier doesn't specify though. I've sent in an inquiry to my Princess TA, I'll be sure to share her response.

@Cruise Raider is currently posting from the Discovery Princess and reported Crab Shack being held today during lunch hours in GastroPub and is priced as Specialty Dining, not considered Casual dining. Casual dining fixed price meals are $14.99. Crab Shack is at least double.

No, it’s all seafood.  Here’s a menu.  It was $29.99 PP

plus 18% gratuity on the Sapphire last month.
