For seasoned cruisers, the shipboard routine is familiar: evenings in the main dining rooms marked by ever-changing menus that cater to the majority of guests, bypassing the buffet’s embrace.

On the Discovery Princess, the buffet sprawls across various sections, including the World Fresh Market, The Bakery, and the Horizon Café. 

The buffet unfurls its culinary prowess from dawn till dusk, offering service from about 6 AM to 11 PM, then graciously whittles it down to a selection of sandwiches for the midnight snackers.

But for those with an appetite for indulgence beyond the norm, there’s a world of specialty dining options.

For those who yearn for an elevated dining affair, there’s a world of specialty options that beckon with their exceptional offerings. 

Set sail on a culinary odyssey that spans from the extraordinary 360 experience, a dining sensation worth its premium, to the elegance of the Crown Grill, the charm of the French Bistro, the Italian authenticity of Sabatini’s, and the simple pleasure of gelato and the pizzeria, where the dining experience is anything but take-away.

On the magnificent Discovery Princess, you can indulge in a symphony of flavors that extend beyond the ordinary.  At the pinnacle of this culinary expedition lies the 360 Experience, an extraordinary dining sensation that lives up to its premium price tag.

For a taste of Paris, there’s the French Bistro, where classic dishes and delicate crème brûlée transport you to the heart of France. Sabatini’s Italian celebrates the rich traditions of Italian cuisine, promising an authentic journey through its flavors. 

So, as you set sail on the Discovery Princess, you’ll find that the ship’s culinary landscape is a world of its own with a new place for you to love, Princess style.

Amidst the captivating autumn landscapes of Vancouver, BC, I embarked on an extraordinary voyage aboard the Discovery Princess.

This coastal culinary adventure would lead me from Vancouver, BC, Canada to Los Angeles, making stops in Victoria, BC, Canada, and San Francisco along the way.

While we attended press trips along the way, the cruise was paid for by me, but the specialty dining experiences were hosted by the Princess Cruise Line.

The Skagway and Juneau Dining Rooms, the primary seated dining areas aboard, offer a service that provides a respite from the hustle and bustle of the buffet.
