Jump to a section
Discovery Princess has included dining rooms and casual counters, paid sit-down venues such as Gigi's and O'Malley's, and specialty restaurants including The Catch by Rudi. Its 360 dinner adds an immersive production to a seven-course meal. This guide compares those formats, charges and reservation needs.
Start with the restaurants included in your fare, then add the meals that interest you. Slice serves included pizza, while Gigi's offers a seated pizzeria meal. Crown Grill and Sabatini's are specialty dinners; 360 has separate event terms.
What matters for your decision
- Slice is an included pizza option; Gigi’s is a paid casual restaurant with different service.
- The current ship roster includes The Catch by Rudi and O’Malley’s Irish Pub.
- 360 carries a separate charge; Princess pages disagree on whether its minimum age is 12 or 13.

Gigi’s pizza, The Catch seafood or an immersive 360 evening?
Gigi's offers a seated pizza meal, while Slice provides included pizza for a quick stop. Check the current pizza menu and your casual-dining allowance before reserving Gigi's, particularly if you expect to eat there more than once.
The Catch by Rudi puts seafood at the center of the dinner decision. Crown Grill is the conventional steakhouse alternative, and Sabatini’s offers Italian dining. Read the full menus before dividing a group by those labels: the best choice is the restaurant that gives every diner an appealing main course and a comfortable pace. Do not assume an old Discovery restaurant menu still represents the current venue.
Princess's 360 experience page describes a 90-minute, seven-course dinner with projections, music and other sensory effects. It currently lists US$149 per guest plus a 20% service charge: $178.80 each, or $357.60 for two. Plus and Premier do not cover it. The experience page says ages 12+, but Discovery's ship page says 13+; obtain confirmation before booking for a 12-year-old. Discuss dietary needs in advance, as Princess does not publish the full menu.
Choose between a specialty dinner and the 360 production
A couple seeking one celebration dinner should compare The Catch, Crown Grill and Sabatini’s menus, then choose around their preferred cuisine. For a group that wants entertainment integrated into the meal and meets the age rule, investigate 360’s availability and current terms. For a relaxed lunch, Gigi’s or O’Malley’s may fit better than a full specialty dinner, depending on the published service hours.
Main dining and the included casual venues provide meals throughout the cruise without a specialty purchase. International Café offers smaller food selections, with specialty coffee charged separately. Try these options before deciding whether more dining reservations would improve your plans.
Discovery dining times, pop-ups and reservation limits
Discovery’s main dining options let you choose how much structure you want. Traditional dining is worth considering when a group prefers a consistent plan, while Flexible or Walk-in arrangements may suit changing days; confirm how each operates for your reservation. Put specialty bookings on evenings with enough margin after excursions, then coordinate them with entertainment rather than squeezing a show between courses.
Check the sailing's schedule for Crab Shack and other pop-ups. Princess excludes Crab Shack from its packages, including Premier, so budget for it separately. For 360, Princess lists two nightly seatings of 20 guests and directs guests to the Dine Line or onboard booking team; availability and operating times can change. Check cancellation terms before reserving. Use the Plus and Premier comparison for ordinary casual and specialty benefits, keeping 360's separate cost in your budget.
Your decision checklist
- For 360, confirm age eligibility, dietary arrangements and the total including service charge.
- Check Crab Shack separately from Plus or Premier meal allowances.
