Cunard Dinner Buffet Food Tour (Queen Mary 2)

Explore Cunard Line's dinner buffet food from aboard the Queen Mary 2 ocean liner! These were from our June 2022 Transatlantic Crossing. Like our other Cunard videos, all the food and drinks you see here are INCLUDED with the cruise fare.
At the King's Court buffet, dinner is served nightly from 6 to 9:30 PM. For those of you with special dietary needs, Cunard had many choices that were gluten free, lactose free, or low-sugar. We also enjoyed a nice variety between the different nights. There were also theme dinners that offered German, Indian, French or Asian food. Overall we thought the Cunard buffet food was of excellent quality.

I've watched this video twice now and love the look of all the food. I really like how you pause on every dish so the view has time to take in what you are presenting. You obviously put a lot of effort into producing this video so thank you - much appreciated!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure! Thank you so much for the recognition! 😊

My thoughts exactly.

[@carreyperea2201]

i have crossed with queen mary2 three different times and i would go right this minute just for the food, it is that good, but you have to lose 5 pounds before you go cause you will gain weight, and everyone does jog a lot on the deck!!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

I know right? Thanks for the comment! 🙂

[@romeo9017]

Was stunned on one occasion by an America who ignored the sanitation stations and actually took and bite of a dish and put it back!

[@co7580]

Did the staff react to this? How disgusting.

[@RosesDewdrop-eo2kl]

looks better than thought....seems I had seen pizza or fast food stuff I could eat dinner buffet every day and not feel bad about paying for food experience. Of course not high end buffet...but menu is interesting and varied. 💐

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yes they also have those but the main offerings are very high quality 😋

[@darploin5071]

Everything always looks so good but eating rare shrimp I don't know how safe that is. All of you have an excellent weekend

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah that shrimp was pretty rare for sure, but we were okay after eating it. Thanks for the comment- have a wonderful week! 🙂

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

I went on the queen Mary 2 about 10 years ago and they did not have a dinner buffet. They might’ve had a lunch Buffet near the pool. I still prefer eating in the restaurant because I eat way too much at an all you can eat meal. My partner would go for the Indian food though. And I saw a few desserts that were up my street. I plan to go on the queen Mary Next year. Nice video, nice family

[@TravelTouristVideos]

That is interesting that the QM2 didn't have a dinner buffet. We always ate at the main dining as well, though the buffet had some good offerings too. Thank you very much for the comment! 😊

[@dl11950]

@@TravelTouristVideos That does seem odd - there was dinner available in Kings Court on our 2009 and 2010 sailings [as well as 2017, 2019 & 2022] There were no local media postings that I recall about no dinner in the '10 years ago' time. I did see postings about folks making 'casual only' transatlantic crossings, and relying on the buffet for dinner.

[@PJL7095]

Very nice & excellent quality food spread with Cunard. May I ask- does your family prefer having the buffet opposed to the ‘fine dine’ dinner? Happy cruising 😊

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you! 😊 We actually like the main dining room dinner better, but yeah sometimes the dinner buffet has even better food. Happy cruising! 🙂

[@petejames1326]

if i i was there all i would be eating is the CHEESES, COLD CUTS and salmon, and maybe nice cut of steak, forget the bread and pasta, i would just be filling up on the expensive stuff.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah that's a great way to enjoy more the good offerings- we try to avoid the carbs as well.

[@tubetop123]

Neat! I think for dinner, most cruise ships don't have buffets and eat in the dining rooms?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Actually they all have buffets which appeal to those who don't want to dress up (even though in the main dining room most of the time you don't have to) or those who want faster service

[@paulr75]

Are drinks self service in the kings court buffett,and are soft drinks like pepsi and coke extra?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Drinks were not self-served which we didn't like. And yes soft drinks do cost extra. Cunard has a soft drinks package that's $10 per person daily, which allows you to get unlimited soft drinks.

[@petejames1326]

i know this is a dumb question, but what would happen if you wanted to take say 5 or 6 deserts on a tray and you told the servers i wanna take these back to my cabin and eat all my deserts in my cabin, would they let you take a few deserts away so you can eat them in your cabin? or do you have to eat them at the tables?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

You sure can! And if you need help carrying them to the cabin a crew member can assist you as well.

What do they do with the leftover food each day? On land, a restaurant can donate leftover food to charitable organizations. I doubt they do that at sea.

If they're unable to use for a dish the next day, the leftovers will become fish food

I would feast on all that fish and seafood and forget the puds.

They sure do

Sorry just saw your question! We didn't see dairy-free milk, but I'm pretty sure if you ask they'll get alternatives such as soy or almond milk for you from the back.

[@wandawolfe8665]

The comments of the travel partner sampling the food is boring because her comments are very monotonous. She certainly isn’t a connoisseur. She rarely mentioned why the foods she ate were good. What was it that made the food so good?

[@davidmartin3468]

Having recently travelled to New York and back, we can say that the food is very disappointing, both in the Buffet and the restaurant. It’s not as ‘high end’ as it should be, given cruise prices.

[@paulduchai1541]

As I was viewing this VID I am surprised how simple the buffer looked for a cunard vessel as the QUEEN, sign me off from even thinking of reserving a cruise.

Given your background in catering and working with Gordon Ramsay, it's understandable you have high expectations! Complimentary cruise dining quality can vary, but we thought Cunard had some really high quality food for a cruise. Holland America has just as good ones too, but you can try their specialty restaurants for the more luxurious offerings. Have a great cruise!
