Creator's Key Takeaways

Sudden Princess may feel larger and less traditional than the Princess ships that many of us are used to, but one place where I think it really improves the experience is with the casual dining.

Most of the casual food on Sun Princess is included in your cruise fair.

If you do want to spend a little extra, I think Alfredo and Omali's are both worth trying, especially if you have a package and it's included.

Even though Sun Princess feels different from the older Princess ships, I think the casual dining is one of the things it does really well.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit the International Cafe for quick snacks and light meals without sitting down.
Go to Leo Eats by the pool for tacos, burgers, and pizza, especially during midafternoon to avoid crowds.
Try the Americana Diner for a casual dinner with a menu, and get there early since they take no reservations.
If you want a quieter pizza experience, choose Alfredo's Pizzeria over Ali's Irish Pub.
Use Ocean Now delivery through the app to have food brought to you, especially with a package.
