Personal Choice Dining
Princess' passion for culinary arts is best expressed in C. H.E. F. or Culinary Heritage of Excellence in Food. On a Princess cruise you're able to choose your dining format, between Traditional Dining (where you can have an assigned dining time and table, either early or late) and Anytime Dining (an open-seating setup where you can choose to dine at whatever time you want within the appropriate dining hours).
Princess has introduced Lotus Spa Cuisine on their dinner menus, adding even more variety to their already great cuisine. There is also at least one specialty restaurant onboard each Princess ship. Among the possibilities (depending on the ship) are Sabatini's, Crown Grill and Sterling Steakhouse. These venues are totally optional, and are available to guests at a nominal charge.
Great Onboard Activities
There are just so many things to do while onboard a Princess cruise ship. The Lotus Spa is where you can enjoy a wide range of pampering treatments, from facials, scrubs and massages to body wraps and body therapy. Available on many of Princess' ships is Movies Under the Stars, a giant poolside LED movie screen that shows concerts, movies and sporting events. The Sanctuary is an adults-only area of select Princess ships, where you can relax in a plush, outdoor spa-inspired setting with signature beverages, light meals, massages, attentive service and relaxing personal entertainment. ScholarShip@Sea is a fabulous enrichment program available on all Princess cruises, featuring lectures, cooking demonstrations, digital photography workshops, ceramic painting lessons and much more. This is just a small sample of the many things to do on a Princess cruise, as there's simply something for everyone.
