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

[@barbara4482]

Excellent photos and thorough food reviews. I like that you keep the menu on screen long enough for me to pause it and really study the offerings. The fish dishes and many of the desserts were the superstars.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much for the feedback! 😊 Definitely agree about the fish entrees & desserts 😋

[@bluebird2833]

Cunard seems like a premium cruise with fancy food options. Most of the dishes look so dishes and gourmet. Thanks for sharing your dining experiences with us. Very helpful and informative video as always!❤

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thank you so much for the comment as always! 😊

[@katrinaassoumou6400]

I liked the majority of all the foods that your wife was dancing with when she ate them. Again, I am so glad I found you guys, because, honesty is the best teacher. Amen

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Appreciate that! I would concur that those were the best dishes as well 🙂

[@emb74]

I love that she really enjoys her food and isn’t a complainer. And also am fascinated by what a neat and tidy eater she is!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@Brianhill2576]

My husband and I will be on QM2 in November and we were on the world cruise on her in 2020 when it was curtailed in Perth, but we have very fond memories of the ship and especially the food! These videos are very well produced and what you see is what you get with Cunard……..excellent quality and service always! Looking forward to our next cruise on this lovely ship.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you! We definitely enjoyed Cunard's food & service as well!

[@katrinaassoumou6400]

From your wife's eating I will know what to get and what not to eat. Thank you so much because I know she is a foodie just like me. Thank you so much for sharing. Amen

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thanks so much for watching & commenting! 😊

[@kathyvelasquez3682]

I really enjoy watching Joanna eat. She tries about everything...love her expressions...i love how even if the food is not to her liking she tries to be diplomatic about it.....keep on keeping on. I laugh at her expressions..I love you guys. Sorry if I spell her name wrong.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much- we really appreciate it! 😊🥰 It's "Joann" BTW 🙂

[@angelaherring5443]

You know what I don’t like about your videos? They don’t last long enough. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much as always for watching & commenting! 😊 🥰

[@alexandrawallner8814]

I love the way this lady eats! So clean and graceful! She likes almost everything. Fun to watch someone eat. -- Makes me hungry! Thanks for the videos!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thank you so much for the comment! 😊

[@iloveanimals1964]

Being British, all these dishes are exactly to my taste 👌🏻😍😋

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Nice- I'm sure the chefs appreciates that! 🙂

[@caseyley100]

I just want to come hang out with Mrs. Tourist and taste stuff with her. I love that she just goes for it, whatever it is - thats the definition of cruise/vaction eating to me....try all the things! When she does the "OOHH" and the happy dance you KNOW it was good! Ya'll are doing a fantastic job and I'm loving living vicariously through your vlogs. Thanks for all the details and menus, it's fantastic to get to see all of this content! Best cruise food content I've seen on you tube, hands down!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much- we're so glad you enjoy our cruise food vlogs! 😊We love trying new food and sharing our experiences!

[@yvonnepanks3998]

Another great video , your wife describes everything perfectly, some of the vegetarian dishes I would not have tried but she describes them and they sound so tempting , we shall be cruising with Cunard this year, this video is so helpful, thanks keep it up 👍

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much- will do! 😊 Happy to hear Joann's descriptions inspire you to try new vegetarian options. Cunard is a fantastic choice - have a wonderful voyage!

[@suzieq5259]

Love your Ba BA dance!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Lol- thanks! 😁

[@sallylewis5332]

I’m not a vegetarian but I can say that every vegetarian dish that Joann tried looked delicious to me. Very unique combinations. But the Thai Beef salad was my winner for this video. And the cherry crumble. I always order berry/cherry deserts. Thanks for posting this video!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thank you for the comment! 😊 Cunard had a nice choice of vegetarian dishes for sure that were quite enjoyable. And yes that Thai Beef salad was quite delicious! 😋

[@angelaherring5443]

Potato and eggplant would definitely be something I would order.

[@romeo9017]

Good video and a truecand factual representation! Memories of our US cousins refusing to sanitise even after using the ablutions; one a few occasions taking bites out of food items and pitting them back…..

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 🙂 Yeah we've seen a few guests using their hands at the buffet like that, but the crew is always really good at spotting the pieces touched and removing them.

[@fargo007]

Thanks for including and noting the gluten free choices too. I'm looking at Cunard, but I want to be sure I can eat well.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure! Cunard has really good food quality overall.

[@angelaherring5443]

There’s the dance! Yay!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yay! 😊

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing your cruise here on this famous ship.

[@kayel4487]

It looks like they put extra effort in plating the desserts!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

We would agree! 😋

[@smb2a587]

Does Cunard have traditional early and late seating with assigned tablemates and same wait staff every night?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yup that's the system they have

[@suzanneobrien5279]

Great video...some delicious looking food 😋. I hope you don't mind me asking, but does anyone ever get a meal that hasn't been 'tasted' first? I'd be sitting there so impatiently waiting - and I'd feel very shortchanged watching mine getting eaten ...especially when Joanna likes it and goes in for a second (or third!) mouthful 😂

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you! 😊 Yes the ones you don't see a tasting of! 🙂 I don't mind, but our son can get impatient- you can hear him making noises or complaining sometimes 😁

[@suzanneobrien5279]

@@TravelTouristVideos Haha ...I've never heard him, but I can imagine 😄

[@mdavid2822]

For the record "cheesecake fool" is not cheesecake. Fool is a custard-based desert, though oftentimes whipped cream. Cheesecake fool is usually a blend of cheesecake and fool that results in a texture something between cheesecake and a custard/whipped cream.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

You're 100% correct! We were "fooled" lol 😁

[@ChristianLehrer]

You really highlight the broader selection of Vegitarian/Vegan options. The British, and European cruise lines seem to have more of these options? I’m not veg I myself but have friends and family with various food needs. Thanks for another great video!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much for the comment! 😊 Come to think of it it seems Cunard had slightly more vegetarian selection vs the other major cruise lines.

[@Semiam1]

Excellent video.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@davidh9844]

The vid is 2 years old, and of a different ship, but we will be traveling around and from Japan next Spring on the Queen Elizabeth. 40 day cruise over, under, around Japan and back home via North Pacific and Alaska. Having just gotten off (T.G!) Norwegian Star, we are looking forward to our first Cunard experience.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Oh yeah the food is going to much, much better. That sounds like an amazing itinerary too- congrats!

[@paulettechoate3291]

Do you eat the whole dish or just a taste of each. I love your commentary!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊 Just a bite or two for tasting, unless it's my own dish.

[@TravelOften]

Thanks for the video. Cunard's ads often show men in tuxedos. What did you notice with regard to dress code on your sailing, especially for dinner?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

During formal nights there were probably a quarter of the men wearing tuxedos, but the rest wore jacket with ties and slacks. For non-formal nights, there were probably 2/3's wearing jacket, ties & slacks, the others were wearing just a collared shirt & pants. It definitely wasn't as strict/formal as we expected. Thanks for the question!

[@am-yu6jo]

Do you find lunch options use less expensive ingredients than evening dining in Britannia

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yup it seems that way, but they did well with the ingredients

[@angelaherring5443]

We’re the day lilies real? I love lilies. They’re my favorite.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

They sure were, and they would switch them around too.

[@jlawrence0181]

Another excellent video. Are you on Gary Bemmerich's largest cruise-oriented KZbin site? You have a lot more views than many on the list.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much- really appreciate the support! 😊 Didn't know about such a list but thanks for the heads up!

[@xyz987123abc]

How were the speciality coffees? When I went on Carnival a few years back I thought their speciality dining room coffees were less than ideal.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Not sure what machine they used to make them but they were pretty good. We didn't find out they were complimentary until midway into the voyage, but ordered them daily after that.

[@ackack612]

I've never been nor am I likely to ever go on a cruise...but I am one who believes good food is one of life's great rewards and I understand food is an important element of cruising, so I watch and enjoy these vids. My question is this: In one sitting she will sample numerous entrees and desserts, but this is a la carte, not buffet service. Again, I know nothing about cruise ship dining rules or etiquette, (if any even exists) but is it normal or acceptable to have more than one entree, dessert and/or whatever, in one sitting? Eee gads, maybe I should go on a cruise!

[@mdavid2822]

On most lines (including Cunard) you're allowed to order as many dishes as you please. They're all included with your fare (unless specified as a surcharge on the menu).

[@ackack612]

@@mdavid2822 WHOA DOGGIES, sign me up!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

We actually order food for 3 people (2 adults & a teen), and for most of the dishes she just takes a bite to try. We do end up finishing 90% of the food usually. But yes you can sure order multiple appetizers, main entrees & desserts per person. Thanks for the question! 🙂

[@益-s4p]

​@@TravelTouristVideosMaybe it’s because I’m worried about wasting food.，Although you can add some food as you like

[@益-s4p]

Will the menu at Britannia Restaurant be the same for seven days, or will it be changed?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

It changes- you can see the different sample menus in our video

[@marinacarmenmartinez6829]

[@darploin5071]

As I understand everyday is a sea day on a transatlantic crossing

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Typically that is the case for the QM2, though transatlantic from other cruise lines could have a port or two.

[@carolnelsongerontologist]

I would gain 50 pounds on this cruise with the food!!!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Lots of good eats! 😋

[@angelaherring5443]

I love salmon but not if it’s cooked too long.

[@darploin5071]

Everyone that's sitting behind your wife is a senior citizen I think you guys were the youngest couple aboard that ship or one of the youngest with your son

[@TravelTouristVideos]

The average age seemed to us to be in the low 60s, but there were some adult guests who were younger than us.

[@bhismilinirampersad3360]

[@silviakeidel8187]

Rillettes is not eaten with sauce…👀

[@coolbreeze253]

The plural of shrimp is SHRIMP. No s on the end.

[@mdavid2822]

You're incorrect as both are acceptable. So sayeth Merriam-Webster. shrimp noun \ ˈshrimp , especially Southern ˈsrimp \ plural shrimp or shrimps P.S. It is worth noting that British English uses "shrimps" rather frequently (and may be the preferred plural form). In American English the word "shrimps" is almost never used. Since Cunard is a British line, it would make sense that their menus reflect British English.

[@jenniferkilbane7137]

Honestly, a lot of the food looks gross to me. I think I might eat only the deserts

[@paulmajor6517]

Can I aske a question???? HOW THE HELL CAN YOU AFFORD AL THIS??? I CAN'T EVEN HEAT MY HOUSE.
