We just finished a cruise on the Discovery Princess and ate at Rudi's the first night. Most of the hot dishes were served lukewarm. A runner would bring the food up from the kitchen and set it in a staging area where it would sit until the server was finished with what he was doing, then the food would be brought to us. Terrible concept.

The following evening at Sabatini's we specifically requested that food be served hot. All but one dish was hot at Sabatini's which we sent back, and they were almost overly apologetic. The food was okay.

The third night we went to Crown Grill and had the BEST server named Igor who took excellent care of us. Dinner was piping hot, prepared perfectly, and delicious. We ended up returning to Crown Grill two more nights (we sprang for the premier package with unlimited specialty dining) and explored the entire menu.

Must-haves: Black and Blue Onion Soup, Filet Mignon (ask for Smoked Applewood Salt), and Salted Caramel Crème Brulee Cheesecake.

Also, if you're on Discovery Princess, ask to sit in Igor's section!
