If you're cruising on the Sun Princess and wondering if Crown Grill is worth it… this is for you.
Crown Grill was one of our favorite dining experiences aboard the Enchanted Princess, so we had to try it again—this time on the Sun Princess—to see if the food, service, and overall experience are consistent from ship to ship.
In this video, we walk you through our full dinner experience, including:
・The menu and what to expect
・Appetizers like crab cake, shrimp cocktail, lobster bisque, and Caesar salad
・The main course (and whether the steak lived up to expectations)
・Portion sizes, pacing, and overall value
・And our honest thoughts on whether this specialty restaurant is worth the extra cost
We also share how the Premier package factored into our decision to dine here again—and how that may impact your own value calculation.
If you're planning a cruise on the Sun Princess, this is everything you need to know before booking Crown Grill.
