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!
Wonderful Video!! Great photography. Clear and colourful. Very informative. Food looks delicious. I didn’t know that the Kings Court buffet offered such classy gourmet dishes at night !! I will definitely check it out when I travel QM2 Transatlantic next year!👍. Thank You for all your fantastic QM2 dining videos. Really enjoyed them all !!! MikeW
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
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! 😊
@@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.
Wow! What a great meal and everything looks delicious, but my concern is I have not seen any sugar-free desserts. Thank you so much for sharing. Thank your wife for taste testing to let me know what to try first on my cruises. Enjoy and stay safe. Amen
Their desserts were usually not overly sweetened, but yes you're right they didn't have sugar-free desserts, only "low-sugar". Thank you so much for the comment! 😊 Stay safe!
Omg the roasted duck sure looks juicy, and your plate from the German night looked amazing with so many different kinds of sausages (I LOVE sausages….yummy!) Thanks for sharing- as always: excellent work!💕
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!!
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. 💐
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?
Wow, the food was really visually impressive (as was the photography). I think that was some of the best buffet food I have seen. I disagree with those below who diss some of the high end Las Vegas buffets which are equally impressive. Good variety, outstanding presentation.
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.
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
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.
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 😊
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.
He was very funny! If you asked him for just let's say a small piece of meat he'd literally give you a tiny speck of it lol. He and the other chefs did an excellent job cooking and serving the guests at the King's Court Buffet.
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.
@@TravelTouristVideos we add a idk to make the taste better 🤌 Or else i never liked frikadeller.. lmao... it was at school i tasted that.. and now we have made them with that.. Idk what its called on english
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?
I did never make my list.. so uhhh….. 1:18 GIMME THAT 1:22 interesting 2:27 interesting 2:42 STEAK😍 3:04 never tasted that 3:08 OMG TIME TO BE FAT 😍 Update 5:42 I loooove lemon 6:36 they should try it with cheese instead 🤌🏻 7:37 time to mass take it all 🥲 7:27 was there a chain to that one? 🤔😂 8:13 bruh 9:51 🥺 10:48 never tasted trout.. and no thx to beetroot fish… 11:38 yummmm 11:47 what is almond? 🤔 and panda cotta 11:55 yessss Update 11:51 LEMME TRY PANNA COTTA 11:54 what's chiffon? 🤔 .. but lemme try...... and the chocolate cake thingy 12:17 interesting... 12:36 the fish look interesting.... 13:05 treacle pudding 🤔 15:43 i get fat soon.. lmao. 16:31 👀👀 17:06 gimmeeee lasttyyyy Thats a lot of food... I could take on that Cruise Ship -.- even if it just look the same.. but i dont rly like food with veggies or something.. lol... But i do like a lot of food - expect veggies.. lol... birds are not my favorite.. only a few things with chicken :p. With the list you can see what i like 😂😂😂 As you already noticed lol 🤭 Took me more than 30min to make this list 😂 Totally worth it 🤌
Nice! Didn't see a chain for the curtains. Yeah trout is pretty good- tastes kind of like salmon. Almond is a nut, and panna cotta is cream that's been thickened with gelatin.
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.
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.
SADLY, not impressed for Cunard...the plates were elegant but the food looked no different than any other cruiseline...love to see the other restaurants on board
You pay all that money... on a no-stop transatlantic crossing... and proceed to then serve yourself from a buffet... while serving staff await you in your dining room? Are you very slightly mad?
I've watched a lot of your videos and I've noticed that people seem to make a lot of noise while you are eating. It seems that they make so much noise that I can barely hear your wife sometimes.
I was expecting these to best buffet but im kinda disaponted i was a cook and catering for several royal families 5 in total and hollywood stars and worked together with gordon ramsay im not impresed of presentation and quality of food i must admit im very exigent i trow a bootle dom perignon champagne costing 300 bucks and a 2000 bucks headphone to river im not even happy with a entry level ferrari .i watched now several videos od cruises and im going on holland america next week im sure they may not meet my exeptations of luxury
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!
@@TravelTouristVideos My pleasure - it was an honor to serve! Believe me, I was surprised how good the chow was! Maybe not quite the variety of a cruise liner, but the quality was top notch! Sometimes even put my own Mom's cooking to shame! And it was served by the thousands per meal, four meals per day (breakfast/lunch/supper/midrats) that's a LOT of chow on an aircraft carrier. I don't know how those MS's did it so well!
Just letting you know, that I have stopped watching your sea borne vlogs/ especially about food/ as the time I get to see them, later at night in my Country/ I get very very very hungry and as I have no access to the food in front of Me (on screen) I cry - stop teasing us - well at least I do not have to worry about weight gain> till next time

Looks great!
The more I watch your Cunard videos the
More I will book with them.
Thank you so much.
Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 😊 Cunard had some high quality food!
The best of the best food in the whole entire world. I loved my entire experience.
I ❤️ U QM2
We really enjoyed the food as well! Thanks for the comment! 🙂
I just recently found these videos and love them! Also love the beautiful outfits you wear.
Yay! Thank you so much! 😊
Cunard is a bucket list cruise. Great photography as always and wonderful review too!
Thank you so much! 😊
Wow, the food looks just superb. I love watching your travel partner sample the foods -- such positive comments! Nicely done.
Thanks so much! 😊 Cunard had some good eats for sure 😋
So many selections, it would drive me crazy trying to make a choice. Yum-yum.
Quite a few delicious choices! 😋
WOW that looks great the food looked good also
Thank you 😋
Enjoy watching her eat, great video. thank you.
Thank you! It's our pleasure- glad you enjoyed! 😊

We're glad you enjoyed & find the videos helpful! The King's Court buffet chefs cooked up truly excellent food. Thank you so much for the comment! 😊
Always a pleasure! Your videos are the best 😍
Thank you so much- you're too kind! 😊
Your video showed me so much....I am salivating looking at the tempting food .Thankyou
Our pleasure! 😊 Thanks for the comment!
I would cast away my fear of boats and take this trip just for the food!
💪😋
my 3 trips were unbelievably smooth even in rough water, the stabilizers on the ship are great!!
Very comprehensive video, nice work.
Thank you very much! 😊
Thank you. I never wanted to go on a cruise. I can now use this as evidence to the other half why .
The Indian food looked good!

I have been watching so many of these videos lately. I would love to have a different buffet every night!
Glad you like them! 🙂

I know right? Thanks for the comment! 🙂
Every item looked good.
Oh my! My mouth is watering!! Everything looks SO good, how to choose?!
A little bit of each! 😏
My thoughts exactly.
Great video again 😋 Really put Las Vegas buffets to a lower level 😀
Thank you so much! 😊
I enjoyed the food reviews.
Thank you very much! 🙂
Looks great 👍👍🇹🇹🇹🇹
It was! 😋
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. 💐
Yes they also have those but the main offerings are very high quality 😋
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?
You sure can! And if you need help carrying them to the cabin a crew member can assist you as well.
@@TravelTouristVideos excellent 😋🤤
All I can say is YUM!
😋
awesome , the best of the best
Thank you so much! 😊
Wow, the food was really visually impressive (as was the photography). I think that was some of the best buffet food I have seen. I disagree with those below who diss some of the high end Las Vegas buffets which are equally impressive. Good variety, outstanding presentation.
Thank you so much! 😊 Yeah we also think it was a very high quality buffet. It didn't have a huge selection but they had plenty of good eats!
Everything always looks so good but eating rare shrimp I don't know how safe that is. All of you have an excellent weekend
Yeah that shrimp was pretty rare for sure, but we were okay after eating it. Thanks for the comment- have a wonderful week! 🙂
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.
Yeah that's a great way to enjoy more the good offerings- we try to avoid the carbs as well.
Neat! I think for dinner, most cruise ships don't have buffets and eat in the dining rooms?
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
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!
Did the staff react to this? How disgusting.
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
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 😊
Thank you! 😊 We actually like the main dining room dinner better, but yeah sometimes the dinner buffet has even better food. Happy cruising! 🙂
❤thanks
Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 🙂
Are drinks self service in the kings court buffett,and are soft drinks like pepsi and coke extra?
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.
0:45 good job crew 🤌🏻😂
He was very funny! If you asked him for just let's say a small piece of meat he'd literally give you a tiny speck of it lol. He and the other chefs did an excellent job cooking and serving the guests at the King's Court Buffet.
@@TravelTouristVideos interesting
@@TravelTouristVideos must be the nicest Crew 🤌🏻
Do they have cocktails like carnival 🤔 milkshake creamy ones
Hmmm not sure, but maybe since same parent company
Is the dress code the same in the dinner buffet AND dining rooms?
Nope- you don't have to dress up for the buffet
@@TravelTouristVideos Thank you 👍 I plan to eat solely in the buffet.
Do they have dairy free milk options
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.
2:15 danish blue 😂
4:22 is it that name on English too? 😳
Yeah that frikadeller was actually a little dry compared to the Danish version, but yes that's pretty much the English name as well!
@@TravelTouristVideos the name doeant sould like that 💀
@@TravelTouristVideos yes... danish food is never dry 😂
Where have you tasted the danish frikadeller?
Tasted it at home! 😋
@@TravelTouristVideos we add a idk to make the taste better 🤌
Or else i never liked frikadeller.. lmao... it was at school i tasted that.. and now we have made them with that..
Idk what its called on english
You know if you peel the shrimp, you’ll enjoy it more.
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?
I would feast on all that fish and seafood and forget the puds.
Sounds like a tasty plan! 🙂
Am hungry!
👍👍👍💯
🙏😊
I did never make my list.. so uhhh…..

Totally worth it 🤌
Lemme guess- steak & mashed potatoes, along with some smoked salmon for you? That sounds good! 😋
@@TravelTouristVideos yes exactly….
Btw the day I wrote the comment.. we got mashed potato and fish for dinner 🤭
27/8/2022
@@TravelTouristVideos i updated list...

First again!!! 😍
Yes you are! 🙂
SADLY, not impressed for Cunard...the plates were elegant but the food looked no different than any other cruiseline...love to see the other restaurants on board
Did you actually eat all your food? too much waste on cruise
The food we get are actually for 3 people (2 adults & a hungry teenager), and we typically finish 80-100% of it.
You pay all that money... on a no-stop transatlantic crossing... and proceed to then serve yourself from a buffet... while serving staff await you in your dining room?
Are you very slightly mad?
I've watched a lot of your videos and I've noticed that people seem to make a lot of noise while you are eating. It seems that they make so much noise that I can barely hear your wife sometimes.
Yeah it can get really loud with so many people. I'll see if I can better reduce the noise in future videos. Thanks for the feedback!
@@TravelTouristVideos I'm sure you can reduce the noise. But can you actually hear yourselves talk when you go in to eat?
We can, but yeah the microphone picks up a lot of the other sounds
Not impressed myself. Would have expected cleaner buffet plates. Looks picked over.
This looks very underwhelming. Presentation is kinda 3 star hotel standard. I expected a lot better.
Don't like that it's not self service
I think one of the other buffets is self-service.
