Do you dine in Speciality (extra cost) Restaurants on Princess cruises?

While taking a Princess cruise, do you dine in their Speciality (extra cost) Restaurants?

Your comments would be appreciated.

Once and I didn't like it, neither the service or the food. Chops on RC is much better

My Signature Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

They're good, but not great. I like Carnival, RCCL, HAL, Celebrity and NCL better in this department.

We haven't. Neither hubby nor I are foodies, so I can't see us doing so. We usually find the food in the dining room special enough for us (at least I didn't cook it). For us, dining at the Cheesecake Factory is a major dining experience.

We normally go several times -- way more for the atmosphere than the food (ok, but not great).

Have any of you been to the Bayou? What's it like? We've never been on a ship that had one ... but will be on Island in February.

We have reservations at Sabatini's and Crown Grill. Am I going to be disappointed in comparison to Chops and Portofinos? I really don't want to waste my hard earned $$.

We didn't eat in the Bayou on the Island (as you can tell from my post above), but we did go there one night after the dinner time was basically over, sat down and listened to the musician playing guitar.

When doing walkies on the outside jogging track, there's a section that you can indoors and pass by the Bayou.

I'm surprised you didn't like it, Sue.

I thought it was just as great as NCL, HAL, Celebrity and RCI. Have not tried Carnival's Supper Clubs.

We dined at Sabatini's and the Crown Grill on the Crown Princess and enjoyed the food and service very much.
