What is your favorite buffet food on a Princess cruise?

The best buffet videos on You Tube by far. We actually get to every dish clearly and know what it is. Great editing. Great music. I'm hooked on this channel. It deserves way more subs.

This is an excellent video, the best I've seen of cruising food and especially buffets! I've cruised with Princess before and have really enjoyed their food preparation. Problem is, I found this video six months ago and have watched it several times, during which all I can do is salivate and wait! My next cruise is in four days from now and it is just as hard to wait now as it ever was! I have to stop watching your video!! 🤡

[@TravelTouristVideos]

+huskidawgs thanks for watching and the nice comment! We loved the Princess food as well, especially the buffet with its different themes. Have a wonderful cruise!

[@Kevierae]

I was on The Grand. I noticed at each meal service, 2 employees would come along about half-way through, one with an empty tray and the other with a tray full of serving implements, like tongs, slotted spoons, etc. The 1st employee would pull the used utensil and put it in his empty tray. The 2nd employee would take a clean utensil and replace it for the old. Hand sanitizer stations were everywhere. Good job, Princess!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Nice- that would certainly cut down on germ transmission. We also really liked how they would ask you for your beverage order and bring to you at the buffet. Thanks for watching!

Yup they have more fancy items for dinner- though lunch could be just as good at times.

The food on this ship is better than most of our local restaurants, I'd be in there most of the day :-)

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Same here- we don't get that sort of food around where we live, so the much improved dining experience is one of our most looked-forward to things when going on a cruise. Thanks for watching & commenting!

[@jlawrence0181]

Post pandemic, I would say that the food on the Regal Princess Horizon Cafe is the best that I have had on seven cruises over seven different lines. The quality of the preparation and the sheer variety would make it rank higher than HAL or Celebrity. Also, what I have had has been made from scratch and not by Sysco. I have found the food in November 2023 on Regal Princess to be very hit and miss in the MDR and quick venues but have had no problems in the buffet.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Nice- we hope to go back to a Princess ship soon. Sounds like they've kept up the quality at the buffet! 😋 Thanks for sharing your experience from the Regal!

[@jlawrence0181]

@@TravelTouristVideos what has been really weird has been that I posted the comments on KZbin despite NOT paying for internet on the Regal Princess ... And you have responded before I have gone ashore. That is strange.

We were on the Majestic Princess, which is a sister ship of the Sky, a little over 4 years ago, and you can see the food we saw via this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLKZWB-uCIzwSLjtYzfxTS6qw5kWNPKHFS

[@yunengdahl3675]

Ohhh, I miss cruising! I almost booked for this coming summer, but I think I will wait just a little bit longer to make sure everything is safe and all the ports are back to normal operations. I can wait just a little bit longer. Never been on a princess but their buffet looks outstanding. How is their dining room fare? I would expect it to be top notch, as well.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Their main dining room (MDR) is really great as well- you can check out some of our videos on the MDR foods and menus. Thanks for watching!

I've only cruised on Royal. From the looks of things, Princess seems to do a little bit better spread at the buffet than Royal, am I right? It all looks marvelous.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

They are pretty similar- both pretty high quality. Princess has a slight advantage at the buffet in that it doesn't close until 11:30 PM

[@chiefnut48]

My wife and I went to Hawaii last Jan. and never saw most of these foods esp. the lobster tails.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

On our recent cruise with Princess on one of their newest ships (the Majestic Princess) we didn't see lobster at the buffet either, but had it at the main dining room.

[@supertouring1]

Great job on the video. Hoping you do more on your other cruises. Can you confirm the date, length of cruise and destination you were on. I was on the Ruby princess back Sept and I don't recall seeing all the food you had! You were very lucky.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thanks super touring! We'll definitely try and do it for future cruises. We were on the Ruby Princess for a 10 day Mexico cruise around the middle of March. We visited the buffet pretty often (cough cough every night), so may have seen more food than you :-).

[@wendykoek6757]

[@mandywong1408]

I don't know if anyone agrees or remembers, but I feel like the buffet food during the 50th anniversary had the right temperature. Nowadays, the buffet tastes luke warm.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yes I think that's a good point. Our recent Princess cruise not only the plates weren't hot, but some of the foods could've been hotter for sure.

[@jeantaylor2308]

We are on the Ruby Princess to Alaska in July. The food here looks somewhat unappetizing. Ah, how dressy do you gave to get for the main dining room or non-formal nights? For formal nights, do the ladies really have to wear fit all dresses or is a dressy pants outfit okay? Also, we got anytime dining. How does that REALLY work? Some if shore trips end late.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Pants would just fine, just not jeans. Anytime dining for the Main Dining Room means you can go anytime between 5:30 PM and 9:30 PM or 10:00 PM (I forget which exactly). Usually we try to go at 5:15 PM wait a bit for the restaurant to open- that way you get the fastest service, which means you should be able to make the 7 PM show. Have a great cruise!

[@jeantaylor2308]

TravelTouristVideos Thank you!

[@gregh7457]

wow, somebody on that cruise sure liked the spinach!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

We love veggies so that might have been us ;-).

[@gzlpete]

Is the buffet set up with 140 items such as these every night?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Nope probably ~25 items or so. On the carving station there would be one special meat (or occasionally whole salmon) every night. They try to give a different variety nightly.

[@Rich22C]

Yes, but only on the Royal class ships. The other ships are limited to specific items each evening.

[@TVHouseHistorian]

The only way I could deal with this kind of spread is to book back-to-back-to-back cruises. I would need to sample everything.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

It's a lot of different variety of food for sure!

[@michaelmiller1215]

The presentation would have looked nicer if done before the guests had eaten any of the foods.

[@madampolo]

What a wonderful video! You could see the food and it was labeled. Princess seems to have the best food.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thanks for watching & commenting! Agree 100%- for sure Princess has some of the best foods we've experienced on our cruises. The desserts especially are really spectacular.

[@snowman5202]

BBQ Spareribs is by far the best item for me. Ate so much I couldn't move for 2 hours. Too bad they only served it once on the trip.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Those were really good 😋

[@rhigel2269]

I didn't see all these items on my Princess cruise to the inside passage Alaska cruise. Not even half!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

What were some of the notable ones that you did not see and did see?

[@rhigel2269]

That is too much work. Who is going to pay me to do this? I will say that I like the buffet food better on my Princess cruise that on Carnival. I just did a Carnival cruise on the Magic in Sept 2019. Carnival's desserts are poor compared to Princess.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

@@rhigel2269 No worries just wondering what the major differences were out of curiosity. I definitely agree that the Princess Buffet is better than Carnival's.

[@rhigel2269]

Best cruise line that I enjoyed is now out of business. In the 80's I went on Premier out of Cape Carnival, FL. The "Big Red Boat" was featuring Disney characters for the kids. To me the ship was strictly a European style cruise liner where all meals were served in a large dining room with eight passengers to a round table. Same quests at each table for the three day cruise. There was a late night buffet, also. The Captain could be seen at most meals and on the first dinner everyone got to meet the Captain as they passed into the dining room. My cruise had many travel agents as guests. They all said the Premier was the best cruise line and I agree. The next cruise line that I rate as great was, of course, Disney. Things were quire different on the Disney ship, but the service and food was excellent. Then I put Princess in third. And after being on two Carnival cruises, I say that Carnival is a lower scale cruise line catering to the casino interests and cheaper getaways. I do know that Carnival owes Princess, Holland American, and Seabourn, all up scale cruise lines.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Oh yeah Disney has really good service. We were on the Disney Wonder and our staff in the main dining room was terrific. If you're looking to take photos with the characters, however, it becomes kind of like waiting in line for a ride at Disneyland, which is not something we enjoy. Princess, HAL & Celebrity are very good IMO in terms of food & service. The newer & biggest Royal Caribbean & NCL ships have great entertainment.

[@thiery572]

It looks like Princess is better than Hollandam. I mean, there are lots of seafood & lobster! Yumm... What's your take on that?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah I do think the Princess dinner buffet is better than Holland America. Plus on Princess the buffet is open for longer hours. Lobster was only available for one night near the end of the cruise, although we did not see lobster on our recent Majestic Princess cruise at the buffet- they had raw oysters and cocktail shrimp instead. We do like the lunch buffet on Holland America more because they have sushi and some pretty good Asian dishes. For the main dining room (MDR)- it's pretty much a tie. Both have excellent fine dining style offerings for dinner at the MDR. Though if you like dessert, Princess is probably a little bit better in that area. So overall- both are quite good so you probably wouldn't be disappointed with either one!

[@thiery572]

Thanks.

I am riding them in August to Alaska...Possibly fish heavy dishes, I hope?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

They have fish entrees in the main dining room- for example you can always order salmon. Sometimes there is trout, mahi mahi, etc. When I have some time I will work on a video that showcases the Princess main dining room dishes & menus. Also most of the time had at least one fish dish at the dinner buffet so you are covered. Thanks for watching!

Msc food looks like hospital food compared ti this. Ughhh and i will be on the MSC in May

[@TravelTouristVideos]

I hear you- we were on the MSC Divina recently. The MSC buffet simply cannot compare to Princess, Holland America & Royal. Apparently if you do the "yacht club" with them there is much better food available (we didn't do that though). Don't for get to do the loyalty level match with MSC- that's one good thing with them- they will match the loyalty level of other cruise lines. We were able to match to "Voyager Black" as we were Platinum Members with NCL, so that helped with 2 free specialty dinners, which were quite good.

Jaja, estaban realmente deliciosos! ¡Gracias por ver y comentar!

[@keithm1138]

Just to let ALL you know.. Nearly ALL pies & most desserts are not made on board. Sysco/US foods delivers much of the food prepackaged. Much of the Pasta is acquired this way. Some is made, using preyeasted dough. Only some of the Norman Love Chocolate desserts are made on board. Most other "mousse" type desserts, the mousse comes in large tubs It all starts as the same batch. Flavors are then added make each type "different" You really don't think that the food is done from scratch for 3000 Pax each night do you? The only food that comes close to homemade is in the specialty rest. Only Luxury lines do made from scratch & even there a lot comes premade. Of course the food budget dictates the quality of food. You certainly can't expect Oceania/Regent/Crystal levels of quality at Carnival budgets. Oceania actually spends more on their food budget than any other cruiseline(per ship)It's the reason we cruise with them most often. Now & then as this Jan. we may take a different trip. We'll be on the Star Princess going to Hawaii. We certainly will not starve, but we know the level of food quality will be nothing like Oceania. You get what you pay for is the old adage. Our 15 day trip will be about $500PP less than our 2019 14 day trip on the Riviera. Not as much of a difference than one might think.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Wow- thanks for the insight! That is really nice detailed info on how the cruise line procures food. May I ask how did you know about that?

[@keithm1138]

@@TravelTouristVideos Very simple. I've watched the food trucks actually go on board the ships. They just either drive on or offload onto pallets. Late at night on the Regal I watched as pies & cakes were taken out of boxes (presliced)& set onto sheet pans to be dispersed. We have a large catering company & we use Sysco/US Foods(and other purveyors)to provide some of our wares. The food budget dictates the level of quality from everything from Yogurts to the "grade" of steak used. Princess uses "standard" grade in the MDR. The Crown Grill uses "Choice" at best. I buy several million dollars of Beef a year for our company, so I get a pretty good feel for beef quality. When Princess says "Premium" quality from Sterling steaks. That really means nothing. It's what the USDA grades the beef at. Everything from "Prime" down to "Canning"(dog food!)Only lines like Oceania/Regent/Crystal/Cunard(The Grills only)/Seaborne/Viking/Celebrity(specialty rest.)will use the high end Prime grade. Otherwise it's standard to perhaps choice. When preparing food for thousands on a nightly basis, doing everything from "scratch" is virtually impossible. A higher budget can certainly give you better quality. Where it's really determined is by the quality of the head chefs. On Celebrity, they used to have very good food. The chef changed the next year & the decline in quality was remarkable. A great chef can do wonders with lower quality ingredients, whereas a poor chef can ruin the finest meals. We ARE very biased towards Oceania. As most lines have cutback quality, thy'll raise fares a bit to keep it the same.

Hahahahaa I found that 10 seconds after I posted my comments. I then nearly commented "No bacon?" and saw your comment just in time :-)

Glad to hear it- have an awesome time on your Asia cruise!

[@tootsla1252]

You lost me at the music - had to Put on mute

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yup agree definitely wasn't the best choice- I had tried to replace the music but it won't let me. Sorry about that!

I sailed with princess a few times.I still don't believe that we could eat fried FROG's leg during one of the cruise that I took.Unbelievable.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

+catcat Sue I remember frog legs as well pretty sweet for sure. Thanks for watching!

I have been on three Princess Cruises and have consistently found the buffet food to be nothing better than a cheap cafeteria. Shrimp were "slimy" and most everything was either overcooked or way too salty. Will never do Princess again.

[@bodyloverz30]

WOW what a buffet: see Royal Caribbean, you can do better!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Royal's buffet is not too shabby itself, but I have to agree that Princess is better. Especially like the service where they get the drinks for you at the buffet as well.

[@thekanuck2778]

Sloppy? You realize it's a buffet right..

[@huskidawgs]

Not at all. in a dish with sauces, you can take as much or little cause as you want. In the dining rooms you get what the kitchen decides is the right amount. Not at all sloppy, unless that's your style.

There is officially 7% of cruise ship guests who will be complaining without the real reason

[@criscoulter4405]

Very simple Sally, don't go. Stay home I'm everyone would be happier!

cant you perhaps pick some better music to play in the back ground instead of this one?it sounds like you are trying to get off a treadmill but it just wont stop or "let's kick everybody out so we can go home" hehe...

[@mikegallant811]

Beautiful Blue Danube... Classical stuff. Kinda like what Titanic orchestra played during dinner!
