The Grills Experience - Princess Grill 🍽️
The Princess Grill restaurant is stunning. From the lovely entrance and walkway to the elegant décor and exclusive feel, it really is a beautiful setting for an evening of fine dining. One thing I would mention, though, is that the tables, particularly those for two, are rather close together. For a restaurant offering such a premium experience, a little more space and privacy wouldn’t go amiss.
Our service was impeccable. Our waiters, Jeffrey and Jomel, were outstanding, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for better. Attentive, warm and professional, they made every meal a pleasure. Our sommelier, Malvin - what a character and an absolute gentleman. My parents had him on their previous voyage aboard Queen Anne, so it was lovely to see him again. People like these three really do make the experience. 🙌
Breakfast was excellent, with possibly one of the most varied menus we’ve seen at sea (I didn’t catch it all in the video). Lunch was good, but we felt it could be improved. The menu was very similar to the main dining room, with little in the way of exclusive dishes or daily specials. For the Grills experience, we’d love to see something a little more distinctive.
Now, dinner, this was where Princess Grill really came into its own. A proper five-course meal, if you wanted it, and of course, I took full advantage. The à la carte Châteaubriand, rack of lamb and duck à l’orange were superb, and the whole experience brought back that wonderful feeling of traditional cruising. There were, however, some notable omissions, including Dover sole, lobster Thermidor and beef Wellington. These are associated with the Queens Grill offering, so it’s worth remembering that the menus do differ. The Princess Grill menu has certainly changed over the years, and we did find the choice a little more limited than expected.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our Princess Grill experience and would 100% pay the uplift to sail this way again. In fact, we have five more voyages booked across Princess and Queens Grill, so it’ll be fascinating to compare the two across all four Queens.
