Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of the dining options aboard the Discovery Princess during a seven day Alaskan cruise. They evaluate a wide range of venues including the World Fresh Marketplace buffet, main dining rooms, and various specialty restaurants. The reviewers note that while the buffet offers an improved selection compared to previous Princess cruises, the layout can be difficult to navigate. Their experience in the main dining rooms was described as typical and occasionally lacking in seasoning. Specialty dining received mixed but generally positive feedback, with the Crown Grill noted for its high quality and the Salty Dog Gastropub highlighted as a standout favorite. They also discuss the International Cafe for breakfast and the premium Chef's Table experience. The review concludes by identifying the spicy Stout beef short ribs from the Salty Dog Gastropub as the single best dish of the entire sailing.
