Very informative. Must admit that I prefer the setting in the Verandah restaurant on QV and QE. Sir Samuels just looks like a standard on shore middle of the road restaurant. Loses out on the sense of occasion.

Hello, Which wine was that with sediment in it? Otherwise meal looked fine but we're not that impressed with menu. The equivalent venue on QM2 is reported as lacking atmosphere and we were happy to have all our meals in Britannia Club. The Sole is on the à la carte menu there.

@@SailwithGailandMike Thanks. It's not one on my shortlist. We take the package and the Cunard own label stuff is fine for refreshment (it's what we drink daily out of boxes here in France) but we then buy a bottle of decent stuff (average $80) to last two nights and get 20% off. My list has a few full bodied Italians and remainder French.

We only want to take QM2 B2B Transatlantic now and again. So we wouldn't be on QA. TV position wouldn't bother us. It's only for safety demo, captain's updates, and I think in QA's case viewing account on, but I'd just do that on my phone. We sleep in the bed. Otherwise we use cabin for showering, dressing and preparing to go out around the ship. That's even with a glass balcony because my wife likes full windows and natural light coming in to put on makeup for evening. If we wanted to watch TV we'd stay at home.
