Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a comprehensive guide to the dining options available on the Enchanted Princess, evaluating both inclusive and specialty venues. The review highlights the International Cafe as a popular 24-hour option for snacks and breakfast, while the World Fresh Marketplace buffet is praised for its variety and quality. The creator expresses significant disappointment with the main dining rooms, noting a decline in food quality, presentation, and limited options for vegetarians and vegans compared to pre-2020 standards. In contrast, several specialty restaurants receive high praise, including Sabatini's Italian Trattoria, the Ocean Terrace sushi restaurant, and the Crown Grill steakhouse, which is described as one of the best at sea. However, the creator advises caution regarding Bistro Salome, describing the experience as mediocre and not worth the cover charge. The guide also covers casual options like Gigi's Pizzeria, which was found lacking, and the Salty Dog Grill poolside. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while most upcharge venues are fairly priced and enjoyable, passengers should book them well in advance due to high demand and potential availability issues.
