There are five main dining rooms each serving the same high-quality menu and exceptional service that Princess is known for: The International, the Pacific Moon, The Santa Fe, the Savoy, and the Vivaldi. Passengers may choose between traditional assigned tablemates and dining times, or "personal choice" dining with times and tables assigned on the fly. The Lido Deck restaurants serve buffets, pizza, and other options. Two reservations-only alternative dining options are available for an additional fee.
