Cunard Dinner Food Tour & Menus at Main Dining Room (Queen Mary 2)

Checkout fine dining dinner aboard a Cunard cruise ship, including food & menus from two Gala nights. These were from our June 2022 cruise on the Queen Mary 2 ocean liner on a 7 night Transatlantic voyage. All the food & drinks you see in the video are included with your cruise fare. Also see what attire some guests were wearing for the regular & gala nights as the Cunard dress code is stricter than other cruise lines.
The main dining room is called Brittania Restaurant, and there are two seatings- an early one with set table assignments, and a later one with open seating in a freestyle manner.
There was some controversy the final dinner night as our assigned dining room table was taken (or should I say- hijacked!) by a group of inconsiderate guests, so we'll talk a little bit about that incident as well. Otherwise we thought the food was terrific & the service very good.

[@haroldalex2254]

Let me start by saying that we were on the preceding voyage, Southampton to NYC, prior to your boarding and experienced the exact same menus and dining experience in the Britannia Restaurant. In fact, our table was almost directly across from yours. Your video is excellent in so many way. The photography was professional. sharp, clear and so well organized. Also, the review of each night's food was spot on. The whole video just brought back so many great memories. Thank you. We had most of the same dishes as you and our review would be almost exactly the same. The only real difference was the second gala night when we had the lobster rather than the beef Wellington. The lobster, which was accompanied by those huge shrimp, was excellent. Having done a few previous crossings we were aware of a little secret, the Rum Raisin ice cream which is made onboard the ship. It is not on the menu but can be ordered and will be made upon request. I have it every night. I did get a little chuckle from your comments regarding the Cunard dress code. Yes, you can "get by" with slacks and any old shirt with a collar as I noticed you and the folks at the table behind you did. But the point of a Crossing on the Queen Mary 2 is not to get by, rather it is an opportunity to rise to the occasion. As each night went on I noticed that you and the folks at the table behind you did. In fact the gentleman behind you, after the first night, regularly wore a jacket/blazer on casual nights even thought not required. WELL DONE. When it came to your wardrobe, after the first night, it appeared that you were setting the bar for the rest of the passengers. OUTSTANDING. Again, this it one of the best videos I have seen on the Queen Mary 2 experience. Harold

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Harold- that's so great to hear that you had the same dishes & enjoyed them. We thought the kitchen crew did a fantastic job for the Britannia restaurant & the King's Court buffet. You're spot on about the spirit of the crossing- it was nice to see many fellow guests dress up in impressive outfits. We were a bit constrained by luggage space (we only used carry-ons) since we had to go on a 11 day Iceland cruise on the Norwegian Star right afterwards, but did the best we could. Thanks for the tip on the Rum Raisin ice cream- we'll definitely try that out in a future Cunard cruise. Thank you so much for the comment- we really appreciate it! 😊

[@boyo2012]

Your wife and her critique of the food...should be a whole channel in itself! Love the authenticity; but, I would rather have her finish her statements before you cut to something else. I also love the happy dance around dessert and the surprise around the lemon meringue! that's my favorite and can exactly understand what she means...fresh lemon gives it that more sour (tart as I would say) flavor, that hits a bit more fresh than "flavoring" used in most pies. I hope you have more voyages just as nice; you make a great team!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you for the feedback! 🙂 That lemon meringue was one of the best ones we've tried! 😋

[@TravelOften]

Wow, that inconsiderate couple knew exactly what they were doing. I guess the wait staff doesn't want a fight or a scene to eject them. Sorry you had to deal with that. Luckily, most cruisers are nice and decent people. Btw, new camera?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

You're 100% right! The maître d' said that it happens nightly and it's a big headache for them, but in the end they don't want to force the guests to leave the table. And yup right on too about most cruisers- 99% of the times everyone is friendly and just want to have a good time. Yup- good eye regarding the camera. We used a new camera (Sony ZV-1) that focuses better on videos, though kept using the old camera & lens for the food photos. Did you think it was better?

[@FreeSpirited66]

@@TravelTouristVideos They could easily remedy the situation by having someone show them to their table or refuse to serve them if they are at the wrong table. I'm trying not to dread this situation for next year now! If I make a fuss I will regret it and if I seethe in silence I will regret it...because it's not just a table, it's disrespect.

[@kathyvelasquez3682]

I think the "high jacking " of dining spots needs to be addressed. No one should be allowed to do that..it should be explained at the beginning of the cruise. And probably posted in all relevant spots. I am sorry this happened to you. Bad karma to the stealers. Love you, love your channel.

He is always so well behaved. I have to ask, is cruising and reporting on everything your actual job? It seems you are never home. What a great life.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

It's not quite a job but it's evolved to a chunk of what we do. Though yeah due to our son's school schedule we actually aren't able to cruise as much vs when he was younger. And yeah it's fun when we look back at the older videos and see how much smaller he was lol. Thank you so much for the comment- much appreciated! 😊

[@nellies-treasure-trove]

LOL. You must be kidding! All she says is "really good". And then throws away the food. Such a waste.

[@darploin5071]

Now comparing cruise ships to the canard liner is like comparing apples to oranges Queen Mary 2 is an ocean liner her steel plates are much thicker and they're made from 7075 t6 chromoly vanadium steel unlike a cruise ship that uses 6065 T2 steel in other words you can be battered by two hurricanes and still be able to set a cup of coffee on a bridge console and not worrying about having spilled all over it unlike a cruise ship you couldn't do that and she's built much more robust if you notice a lot of the larger rooms are further down in the hall it's to create stability since a lot of people gather in those areas you don't want to make the ship top heavy and Steve Paine was to designer of that ship and he did an excellent job

[@Pamanderzz]

Beware that if you eat these delicious desserts your body gives off an aroma. This attracts monsters into your cabin that shrinks all your clothes. I wish they had sugarless desserts.

Though I don’t honestly see a Cunard cruise anytime soon, it was sure nice to see this video. Thorough and visually appealing as usual. Congratulations, Joanna. You are likely the first (And maybe only) person ever to say “floating brown things” aboard any QM Ship! Thanks for another great video. Continued safe travels.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah "floating brown things" didn't sound appetizing lol 😁 Thanks Brad for the comment as always- safe travels! 😊

[@TVHouseHistorian]

I’ve always thought of Cunard as a more formal cruise experience - a couple of notches up from the so-called “premium” cruise lines. By the looks of the food here, I think I was right. I am all about the food experience when it comes to cruising, and this looks very much like it would scratch the itch for me.

[@bobhidley9037]

I learned quite a bit from this episode. I am a senior citizen in America who has cruised 20+ times. My negative expectations on the types and quality of food offered on a British ship were completely dashed. Also, unlike some ages-old feedback I've had, the dress code appears more relaxed than the earlier days. All in all, this week at sea looks very appealing.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you! 🙂 Yeah we didn't know exactly what to expect either first time on Cunard, but turned out to be not super-different than other cruise lines.

"Really good" is not a review; it's an useless opinion.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

She usually just takes a bite or two (okay sometimes 3 lol), then she'll eat and share the dishes she ordered 🙂

[@steamerbv]

hi. Great video. Historically a transatlantic voyage is not a cruise. It's called a crossing since it does not stop between point A and point B. Just a Ship is not a Boat, a Crossing is not a Cruise.

Thank you that was great! The food looks better than in the more recent videos we've been watching, so I hope the standards haven't gone down, we're booked for next year. I really feel for you over that table hijack! Especially on the last night, I can imagine myself wanting to stand right next to them until they leave and my husband telling me not to make a scene...so hard when it's your last night and potentially casting a shadow over the whole trip. I had two main courses on the Queen Victoria once, it was so good, this has reminded me that we can order what we want! Do you have to reserve each night if you have an early seating or is that just for the open dining?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thank you very much for the comment! 😊 Once you have the set seating (early or second) you don't have to reserve nightly. So yeah that was an uneasy end to our main dining experience. Other guests aren't supposed to just come and take your table, and we certainly hope Cunard has implemented policies that'll prevent that going forward.

[@hobsonp67]

Thank you for this video. I have booked my first Cunard cruise next year. Just 4 nights from Southampton to Amsterdam round trip. This looks like one cruise where I won't be eating in the buffet one evening - I usually find there is a night where either I look at the menu and think, 'no nothing takes my fancy' or they have a must go to night in the buffet (Indian or Seafood mainly ;-) ) As I am travelling solo I will be on a table of 8 other solo passengers so at least we won't be hijacked. You should have told the table hijackers how you felt and put them in their place! Anyway glad you enjoyed the food and I look forward to trying it for myself next year x

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thanks so much for the comment! 😊 We thought the food was very high quality at both the buffet & main dining room, so hopefully you'll enjoy it. Have a great time! As far as the table hijackers- we were actually confused at first and thought it was the main dining room host who moved us so they could have that table. So I spoke to the Maître d' afterwards and he confirmed that the staff did no such thing & those guests just sat themselves right before we got there. Glad you won't run into this situation on your Cunard cruise!

[@johnmayerislovee]

Thanks for your video. In all honesty, the food served in the main dinning room was very similar that's served on RCCL. I'd thought that Cunard would offer a better food selection considering fares are twice as much as compared to RCCL.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

It's our pleasure- thanks for commenting! 😊 We would have to say the food was better than Royal, but yeah not by a lot.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah we were quite taken aback by it, especially since it was the final night of the cruise. First night or second it'd be more understandable with maybe some confusion going on with table numbers. But apparently we're not alone- maître d' said that it's a problem that happens frequently.

Another great video. On night #1 however, I guess I would have been out of luck as I didn't see anything on the menu that appealed to me. Can a passenger check out the menu beforehand to see if they want to eat in the main dining room on any given evening? Also, I've heard that even in the main dining room that you can order more than one entree. Is that accurate? Thank you.

[@magucathy]

Yes, you can check the menu. They post the menu on the board outside the restaurant. After breakfast time, they post the lunch menu. After lunch time, they post the dinner menu. In case you don't find anything, you can tell the staff what you prefer. Normally they will ask the chef to cook whatever you would like (when it's possible) There's one time, my husband wanted to have a dill mustard sauce to go with his smoked salmon for breakfast. He asked the staff, then the restaurant manager came to our table and asked what exactly it is. The next morning, the restaurant manager told us the chef has prepared the sauce for my husband. Then, every morning they served the sauce to us. And yes, you can definitely order more. We normally order 2 first courses because the potion is not big. Then we order 1 more main course to share. You can always order steamed veggies on the side. On lobster night, we asked and got 2-3 lobsters on the plate. Of course you can order more dessert. They have this very good chocolate fudge cake. We love it very much. The staff asked if he should bring us another one. But we were so full and declined. Then he said he can have the cake sent to our cabin. When we were back to our cabin, we found the cakes in the fridge. This is what I call a personal service. Of course, these all happened before Covid. We haven't cruise since then.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊 You sure can look at the menu ahead of time- they usually have the dinner menu posted after lunch is over outside the main dining room. Cunard is a Carnival brand so maybe in the future they will put the menus in the app like our recent Carnival Vista cruise. With it you can pretty much see all the MDR dinner menus for the entire cruise on day 1.

If you watch the documentaries on canard's Queen Mary 2 one of them has one of the chefs basically telling all the sous chefs that the risotto was s*** in previous night before so it's not the first time they can't get risotto right for some reason that's one of the weak points of the canard liner

[@BP-kx2ig]

A Trans - Atlantic crossing is not a cruise, and Queen Mary 2 is not a cruise ship when it is doing this voyage

[@cruiseshipforme4546]

Great video! This is the way by all food reviews should be done. I bet those rude passengers were from the same city you sailed from. I would have made a scene. You are much to nice and a better person than me!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah at first we actually thought they were seated there by the dining room host, but after dinner the dining room manager told me that those guests just sat themselves there. No biggie, though wish that would've happened earlier in the cruise than the last day, lol. Thank you so much for the support! 😊

[@barbarapearce9738]

Not the right place to "make a scene". Nowhere is really, there's better ways.

[@barbarapearce9738]

Excellent video presentation and sumptious food! Some odd cutlery using methods but I figure American style, oh and please don't put used cutlery on the tablecloth, it belongs on the plate once picked up.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@mreppen1]

How much are drinks (wine or cocktails) out of curiosity.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

On a Cunard cruise you can actually bring a bottle of wine or champagne and drink in your cabin with no extra charge. If you bring it out to a bar or restaurant there is a $25 corkage fee. Otherwise 150ml/250ml wine is around $8 & $12, respectively, and ~$35 for a bottle. One cocktail is usually between $10 to $13. They do have a $69 per person, per day alcohol package as well which lets you consume up to 15 drinks.

[@mreppen1]

@@TravelTouristVideos that’s fair. Thanks. I’ve been on a few Silversea, and 7 Sea Voyager cruises which are all inclusive.

[@tfung8]

Just came back from 16 days Cunard. It degraded a lot. food quality and quantity BAD. especially at the Lido. Super short handed. It is at the Carnival cruise style. No dance host, no queens room Hostess, no professional dancer exhibition, etc. will not recommand for this price ( we are diamond on Cunard, not a newbe) \

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Sorry to hear that! Which ship were you on?

[@Oldman525]

It is bad manners to place used cutlery on the table, place them at an angle on the plate. You are American so I can understand you may not be used to dining formally.

[@mikerieger1034]

A really good taste and chips

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Some good eats there 😋

[@vilmasvacation8599]

Another amazing video great review

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@angelaherring5443]

Yay! My favorite folks!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@angelaherring5443]

I’m just curious but does Cunard even have a buffet? I just can’t picture it. I’ve heard it’s more elegant that all the rest of cruise lines.

[@barbara4482]

2 weeks ago they posted Cunard’s breakfast and lunch buffets on the Queen Mary 2. I’m really impressed with the main dining room choices and presentation.

[@angelaherring5443]

@@barbara4482 yes everything looks so wonderful. I just want to try everything now. These videos inspire me to try even more. I’ll have to just search every video they’ve ever done now.

[@magucathy]

@@angelaherring5443 Yes, Cunard's food is one of the best. The meat/fish is always cook to the right point. They make very good sauce / jus. The buffet is also very good. It's quite casual at the buffet. If you don't want to dress up for dinner, you can go to the buffet, or even order room service. Actually, smart casual will be enough. Of course, quite a lot of people enjoy dressing up, but you will be fine as long as you don't wear jeans and sport shoes.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yup they sure do- it's not a super big selection but they had good quality food. Here are the links to the videos Breakfast buffet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWfXi5R8oLOkrMU Lunch buffet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGiZeYGLhayBq9k

They definitely focus on quality for sure- thanks for the comment! 😊

Thanks for the comment- and go Argentina! 🙂

[@davideck]

I love the information, but how do Cunard feel about you choosing everything on the menu?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Glad it's helpful! The wait staff on this or other cruise lines have never given us any issue because the food is for 3 people, and we actually eat like 90% of it on average.

[@DonWan47]

Love this video

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@jerrywoods4845]

Lovely.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you! 🙂

The beautiful lady has a New England accent?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you! 😊 Not sure about the accent though!

[@wyatthowie5998]

You never show your husband?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

The videographer must not show himself! 😁 Actually you can see me in some of the videos.

I need more than " It's so good!"

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Which one(s) are you referring to & I'd be happy to think back & give u a more detailed description of the taste

[@bhismilinirampersad3360]

😊👍😊👍🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@sixshotmegatron9988]

Thats not good they hijacked your table at the end day the staff should have set them down somewhere else you have been booked on that table so it's yours. Rubbish excuse from the staff

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah that wasn't a good feeling for sure, but it was also tough that the staff were put in a bad position. Thanks for the support! 🙂

[@sherriedolder900]

Love your videos very informative and well planned. Easy to follow and descriptions of the food are precise.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊

Ok, she loves everything? Tell me what you really think.

I really wanted to go. WHAT !? MASKS? Wtf not me, see you when sanity returns
