However, the Captain’s Circle, as Princess calls its loyalty program, does bring a few valuable perks at its higher-level tiers, including discounted internet service and complimentary laundry services. There are no onboard credits for top-tier members, like some lines offer (although a recent change did bring discounts for shore excursions and spa treatments at top tiers).įor more cruise guides, news and tips, sign up for TPG’s cruise newsletter.

Unlike rivals Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess doesn’t offer its loyalty club members a free cruise after reaching the top tier.
Kai Sushi is open for dinner daily and for lunch on sea days, and also serves ahi tuna poke (our tablemate raved about it) and "chili and lime jumbo lump crab margarita," as well as a large seafood udon noodle dish.Among the world’s biggest cruise lines, Princess Cruises has one of the more modest loyalty programs. The poor guy was slammed with our huge order and it took a long time for everyone to be served. On a second visit, we were with a group of eight who made a spur-of-the-moment decision to dine at Kai, and only one chef happened to be on duty. When we visited, some items on the menu weren't available, but there were also items not listed on the menu - just ask. Our sushi was tasty and well-prepared, and we enjoyed talking with the two chefs, who both spoke some English. Sashimi orders (five pieces each) range from $12 to $13.75, and sushi orders (two pieces each) are $3 to $5.50. You can choose from three set menus, ranging from $15 to $19, which include miso soup, salad, udon noodle soup and either sushi, sashimi or kaisendon (sashimi atop a bowl of rice). A pathway of black and white marble leads you to the sushi bar, where one or two chefs preside.
Inside, the theme continues, with white reliefs of waves above the beige banquettes. Kai Sushi (Deck 7) a la carte pricing: This chic, modern sushi bar and restaurant sets the tone by greeting you with columns covered in a black-and-white depiction of stylized waves, as they might be shown in a Japanese painting. The lemon pie at dessert provided the satisfying citrus snap of a sip of limoncello. A tablemate's bistecca Toscana, a strip steak with rosemary and garlic, was a much better choice.

From the six mains, we tried the lobster three ways (tail, lobster orzotto and lobster bisque sauce - two ways, plus sauce, really), which also lacked flavor. We chose braised short-rib penne from the list of three pastas it was short on meat and lacking in the flavor you'd expect from rich, slow-cooked short ribs. Our meal was definitely a roller-coaster. A ball of creamy burrata cheese with tomato slices was served very cold, a disappointment, because the cheese is at its best at room temperature. You can choose from six starters, including one of the best fried calamari dishes we've ever had - on land or sea. For now, the chef sends out a plate of focaccia bread, prosciutto and olives to set the mood. The next time the ship is in dry dock, both the menu and decor will be updated. Sabatini's (Deck 7) $29: Diamond Princess still carries the line's older Italian restaurant concept, with columns, murals of quaint Italy and lattice dividers between table sections and banquettes. You can also have a pizza delivered between 11 a.m. Dessert brings a luscious fudge cake, caramel flan or a chocolate chip cookie. There's also a tasty but strange croque monsieur, which is like a ham-and-cheese sandwich on French toast - unlike anything we've ever had in France. For more serious hunger pangs, there's beef chili, lasagna, a hot dog, burger and a vegetarian Moroccan dish in a slow cooker. Sandwich offerings are club, turkey, tuna, veggie, and peanut butter and jelly. All-day dining includes miso soup and soup of the day, a chicken Caesar salad, chef's salad or mixed greens. Available items include continental breakfast, cold cereals, toast and pastries, fresh fruit and a hot egg, bacon and cheese breakfast muffin. Breakfast is available by advance order (with a door hanger or through the free Princess app) with half-hour delivery timeframes our breakfast was always delivered promptly at the beginning of our selected time. Room Service: Room service is free throughout the day.
