  • 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.

    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.

    WOW, I can't believe how incredibly rude that family was to take your table. Did they think no one would notice? I can't believe how incredibly rude and inconsiderate some people can be. It's unfortunate that the staff can't/won't do anything about that, but you hear that they'll ask someone breaking the dress code to kindly go change. That just blows my mind someone would do that.

    If they wont abide by dining room rules either dont serve them or charge them for the meal.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    I have only travelled on QE2 but the food is comparable on both ships. As far as rude people stealing someone else's table , they should have been ejected and sent to their allocated table. Not good.

    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

    I wish all food reviewers were like this. It's concise but clear on the details. I can imagine what these dishes taste like.

    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.

    This is an informative and delightful video. It is nice how you involve your family in the production and your wife's critiques are spot on. Thank you.

    Another awesome food video. Yours are the best! Your true feelings about the food and description of each dish means a lot.

    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.

    Wow so many delicious and fancy looking dishes! Seems like the quality of the food is on the higher end- even the vegetarian dishes she tried looked so elegant and fancy. The desserts looked absolutely amazing! This’s my kind of cruise- love it! Thanks for your awesome work and thanks for sharing!💕

    Love your formal look & updo. The photography of the food is outstanding. Glad it tasted as good as it looked. (When I was a kid, my aunt brought me menus from her cruises. I loved reading them and making my choices. Still do!)

    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.
