Creator's Key Takeaways

We just got back from 2 weeks on the Enchanted Princess. We had some fantastic meals in the main dining room.

The MDR staff on the Princess generally wants to accommodate you. One night they had sole and scallops.

The wine service on MDR and Princess ships is notoriously slow. It doesn't matter what ship, doesn't matter what dining room.

Creator's Tips & Advice

You can order entrees as appetizers or desserts as appetizers to customize your meal structure.
Order a double pour of wine at the start of dinner to avoid waiting for slow wine service.
