Cunard Late Night Buffet Food Tour (Queen Mary 2)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 сер 2022
- Check out what food to expect for late night snack buffet on a Cunard ship! These were from our June 2022 transatlantic voyage aboard the Queen Mary 2 ocean liner. The King's Court Buffet hosts it nightly from 11 PM to 12:30 AM. We were able to visit several times during the 7 night cruise.
Overall we were impressed with the food selection, especially considering recent cutbacks by other cruise lines.

Having just gotten off of my second crossing, I am a Cunard junkie now. I'll never fly across the ocean again if I can help but....QM2 is so comfortable, you get to meet so many interesting people and the food is good. Flying you have to deal with the greedy airline industry, an uncomfortable plastic seat, processed food, the headache of airports, and jet lag!
It's definitely a fun and enjoyable way to cross the Atlantic if you're not in a hurry!
Def. here b/c I want to give up flying if I can & exploring other options!
We dance most nights. When the Queen’s Room music ends I know where we will be heading from now on! Thanks for the video.
Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 🙂
Yes its elevator music but I quite like it. It does exactly what it is supposed to do and thats to chill you the hell out. It would perform the same function for me as those rain storm sound videos that help you sleep. Some music is meant to excite, some is meant to evoke feelings like love or even rebellion but some, like this, is meant for deep chilling and relaxation. Nice choice for the video!
It's always kind of tough to pick the background music, especially if you don't want to have the same one in all the videos, so thank you for the comment! 😊
@@TravelTouristVideosClub music I would call it. And if anyone wants different music they can just blank the sound on this video, open another window, start up any music they want, like "The Wreck of Old 97," "The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald," "The Ballad of Henry Martin," "The Ship that Never Returned," or anything else they want.
Im hungry! Thank you for your ‘no messing’ food tours, their ace!
Thank you so much! 😊
Your vlogs are very entertaining and educational. I have really enjoyed watching them, and I think y'all are doing a great service to the Cruise line industry. I bet they will take notice.
Just trying to show fellow tourists what to expect- thank you so much! 😊
Well, I've been meaning to book a westward transatlantic cruise on the QM2 for some time; I had hoped to do it this year, but have come to the realization that I'll have to wait until next year, 2023...maybe around late May-early June? All I can say is that videos like these make me, compel me to hurry up and get 'er done!
Thanks for the comment! It's gonna be a lot of good food! 😋
@@TravelTouristVideos Woo-Hoo!
Excellent vlog, I like the way you film everything. The food was superb, many thanks.
Appreciate that- thank you so much! 😊
All the food looked really delicious. German night was my favorite. 😊
Yeah we were surprised to see those sausages- looked juicy lol. Thanks for commenting! 😊
Wow, looks fantastic. I would not eat after 12.00hrs, and be first in line for the buffet every night, need to try at least ninety five percent of these dishes. On holiday, (very expensive one), it's only for a couple of weeks so enjoy, or have a drink of horlicks and let us foodies have a culinary blast. Eat late sleep late, run around the deck later.
Sounds like a good plan! You'd have company too- we see quite a few guests walking the outside promenade deck all the time. Thanks for the comment! 🙂
All I can say is, WOW! That is their late-night selection. Everything looks phenomenal. Thank you for sharing. Cheers.
Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 😊
Thank you for your excellent work!
Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 🙂
The food looked incredible. I just retired and I can't wait to go on my first cruise.
How exciting! And on Cunard? Have a wonderful first cruise!
Shame on you all. People starving everywhere. Foodbanks everywhere. Cost of living crisis....and here we have gluttony on an industrial scale. It is obscene!
I retired, unwillingly, 3 years ago. It ain't all it's cracked up to be. But since it is what it is, my kids are already making more money that we did, the house is ours, no car loans, the police aren't after me, we decided to spend the kid's inheritance. Cruising isn't for everyone, we have friends who absolutely hate it. Get on the wrong cruise, I promise, you will hate it (so do homework and work with a travel agent, at least in the beginning). But whatever, do NOT wait. Tomorrow is not promised or even guaranteed. As my wife says, a little jet lag, she sleeps late in the morning, they feed her, she goes to the spa or pool, they feed her again AND wash the dishes, they make the bed, you see a show, they feed you again and clean up. And sometimes go somewhere new. Do it while you can!
You've been missing out dude...where you been? Enjoy your cruise...
@@fritzhenning1 Different spectrum of society. The haves and have not unfortunately.
That was plentiful choices to make. Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this video. Amen
Our pleasure! Thank you so much for commenting! 😊
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Cheers!
Thank you so much! 😊 Cheers!
Excellent selection of food
An extraordinary selection and only a few hours after Dinner. Quite a challenge.
I'm liking all nights but especially Night #4 with the German selections
We agree 😋
Fantastic video! Thanks so much. You deserve a Nobel Prize-cruise food special!
Thank yo so much- you're too kind! 😊
The food looked really good and nice variety. Thanks for this review, looks like a great cruise ship for food.
Our pleasure- thank you so much for the comment as always! 😊
Everything looks wonderful. Very impressive for a late night buffet. Full meals, love the international flavors.
Thanks folks, great video.
Thank you so much- it's our pleasure! 😊 Lots of good eats for a late night buffet for sure😋
The midnight buffet on cunard is, quite simply, exceptional. Worth missing the evening meal for in fact. Ideal if you are to see a show and do not wish to hurry an evening meal.
Other cruise lines offer this but, not to this standard of course, more of a "chum bucket" than fine dining.
Shame on you all. People starving everywhere. Foodbanks everywhere. Cost of living crisis....and here we have gluttony on an industrial scale. It is obscene!
@@fritzhenning1 not at all. I work hard, do not waste my money on bling, tattoos, alcohol or drugs and expensive tv packages. My money , my choice. I enjoy a couple of cruises each year, why shouldn't I.
@@beaufighter245 No problem with people going on cruises it's the gluttony that I object to. The waste of food is just enormous.
@@fritzhenning1 food is wasted everywhere. Yes, food is wasted on cruise ships but, ITV's unavoidable. I expect to cruise, in style, and have whatever, and whenever I want, food. Are you not overlooking that hotels, restaurants all have surplus food.
Looks amazing! I enjoy your detailed cruise food videos
Yeah that's a really good late night buffet for sure! Thanks so much for watching our videos and the comment! 🙂
Thank you so much for the video, I am not much a lot of foods so that video really helped me know what will be available!
Glad it was helpful- thank you very much for the comment! 🙂
Perfect video! Many thanks
Thank you very much! 😊
Oh my, what a selection, heaven, I would have all Indian food
I love the variety of the selections. The Biryani stood out for me. I need to go on a cruise!!
Yeah they had something different and good every night. Thanks for the comment 🙂
I've always wanted to take a cruise such as this QE2 one. It's just food and so much of it continuously is a big part of the cruise. Being a Diabetic on Insulin for decades, being around constant food would not make for an enjoyable trip for me. A temptation of that magnitude with all that great food. I wouldn't trust myself. I have to say the variety of food they provide is excellent.
Yes all those food are tough to resist for sure. Cunard did have some food labeled "low sugar", but you can always make requests too before the cruise and they'll try to accommodate your dietary needs. Thanks for the comment! 🙂
WOW having seen the snack food I think were I to be on a cruise like that I would have to be rolled down the gankplank when it ended, I would be too fat to move! It all looks wonderful
Lol- hard to resist all those good food! 😋
Smoked salmon on a bagel FTW! Some of those other sandwiches and cakes will be in my stateroom for later too LOL! Thank you for a look at the late night buffet! 👍
Oh yeah that salmon bagel looked really tasty- good head start for breakfast lol. Thanks so much for watching & commenting! 😊
Infinitely better than cold pizza and hotdogs that I’ve seen on some ships
Wow. Better and more extensive than most full buffets and that’s just late night snacks!
What's not to like. Great video with fine jazz. Thank you
Thank you so much! 😊
Excellent video.
Thank you very much! 🙂
nice to have a late night buffet
And a high quality one too!
Great for late night snacking!
Superb as always…
Thank you! 😊 Cheers!
We've done multiple transatlantics with Azamara, alas no midnight buffets. Not that it is possible to go hungry with Azamara, that simply is not possible. However, the offerings on German night looked spectacular. Just looking, I was getting squeezing chest pain, with a smile on my face. Glad you had a great time!
Excellent photography as usual!
Thank you so much 😊
Everything looked delicious.
😋
going on my first ta in december. now have something else to look forward to!
I enjoyed it all!
Yes! Thanks for the comment! 🙂
Thank you for sharing for cruise..
The food selection looked really nice...Wow!! Again, thank you..
Our pleasure- thanks so much for the comment! 😊
@@TravelTouristVideos You are welcome.
Wow that’s the best looking late night buffet I have seen- so many delicious looking dishes and a lot of them are healthy too. Eating late is already not good for you, not to mention eating really unhealthy in the late hours is beyond worse. 🤣 Thanks for sharing- keep up the awesome work!💕
Lol once or twice a cruise shouldn't be too bad? 😁 Thanks so much for the comment as always! 😊
Shame on you all. People starving everywhere. Foodbanks everywhere. Cost of living crisis....and here we have gluttony on an industrial scale. It is obscene!
@@fritzhenning1 But you must admit it looks delicious 😋
Yeah, this is the spot after a hard night dancing in the Queen's Room and G32. I always save room for the cookies and ice cream!
OMG, David. Great video. I love that moonlit sea shot between the different nights. Magical. Excellent music bed as always.
Almost all that food looked incredible. Ironically we had KC-Style ribs tonight. Not sure I’d be able to do a late night buffet after presumably eating way too much on most of the sea days.
I noticed the lovely and charismatic Joanna is not on this one. Did you escape captivity or were you allowed a work furlough. (I’m in trouble if my fiancée sees this!) 🙂
Lol yeah Joann did make a little cameo at the 27 second mark, but we were there just to look & take photos- still full from dinner. KC style ribs- yum! Thank you so much for the comment Brad! 😊
Absolutely. First. Class. Nosh. Iam hungry now. Brilliant
Wonderful looking food rarely eat food after 9pm
Yes! 😋
Yummy!
😋
It all looks delicious, but I fear there will be a lot of food left over, since not all guests will want late night snacks. I can only hope that the crew can freely enjoy the leftovers as a perk for working at Cunard. If I could afford it, I would book a cruise just for the food, especially the breakfast buffet, which is simply amazing.
Thanks for the comment! Hope you get to go one day! 🙂
The Late Night Meal@The Air Force!-Is MIDNIGHT CHOW!-Where I Was Welcomed-To Eat-There-Too!-Is A Late Night-BREAKFAST!-Is My Favorite Meal!@The Mess Hall!-In The U.S. Air Force!-Raymond "Mike" Hong!&(CHOW!-DOWN!-Mike!)
Thanks for your service!!
If you eat at the early dinner seating at 5:30, after a night of dancing gambling or seeing a show we always grabbed some cheese and fruit for the room. The sausage rolls were amazing too.
Yes! Those were some tasty snacks to end the night!
Thank you ! Who needs food at that hour ?
It very nice and thank you 🙏🏼😍
Me.
Our pleasure- yeah that was a very nice late night buffet. Thanks for the comment! 😊
Now I'm hungry!
Whaaat !!! I did' see your beautiful Joanne enjoy her meal. Hopefully the Carnival cuts don't spread to others.
Thank you! 😊 Yeah we were so full from dinner still, but glad to share this. Looks a ton better than Carnival for sure even before the cutbacks.
Looks like a nice dinner buffet! The German food looks so good. Glad they also had some lighter, healthy, options, too. On the other hand you are on vacation so enjoy. How was the pizza?
It was an excellent late night buffet for sure! The pizza looked good, but didn't get to try it as we were still very full from dinner. Thanks for the comment as always! 😊
Would like some breakfast foods after midnight. Going to sleep on scrambled eggs, sausage, and potatoes is very satisfying - and then sleeping in and waking up into for lunch is my idea of a good vacation. Where's the eggs? want some eggs.
I agree- why not?
Amazing, we never went to the late buffet. On any of the cruise lines we have traveled on !
Thanks for the comment- hope you get to check it out next time!
Night #4 looked the best.
Wow..I'm hungry
😋
Looks like the soups were a favorite
Just wish the video would have been longer! I could have stared at the food all night. I am so hungry right now!
A lot of good food for sure! 😋
Now I'm all hungry!
😋
@TravelTouristVideos, What I said is my fairly standard comment on a video with great food. Sometimes the quote is attributed to Hobbes Tiger. 😄
Oh, heavens! Showing me this is cruel. I gain enough weight on a double transatlantic as it is. If I hit the King's Court at midnight, I'll have to do 12 laps around the promenade deck before I go to bed. 😜
Yeah it's hard to resist trying some of those tasty treats when passing by. 12 laps would definitely help lol!
great makes me want to go on QM2 thanks for uploading... are you Singaporean ?
Our pleasure! 🙂 Nope not Singaporean but loved Singapore when we visited a few years ago!
Great video as usual. Were you filming solo at Midnight??
Thanks! Yeah it was pretty much bed time, but had to check it out! 🙂
Made me hungry as hell! When do we sail?
Lots of good eats for sure! 😋
That's pretty extensive for a late-night buffet!
Yeah we thought so too- thanks for the comment! 😊
Some dishes looked decidedly inferior to others; I've cooked professionally off-and-on since 1993, and some of that I simply wouldn't touch.
The German and most of the Indian dishes looked delicious, though.
Fantastic choices. Now lets find an affordable Cunard transatlatic voyage instead of Brean Sands.
Wow! For a night owl, if I'm on holiday, why eat dinner when all of this late-night good food is available?! These offerings are far more than just some snack foods!
would have liked some breakfast food at night like pancakes, french toast, waffles and bacon- maybe a breakfast sandwich of eggs cheese and bacon or sausage on a biscuit
I know right? Might as well have breakfast food too since it runs past midnight 🙂
Seriously this is just the late night stuff?! Wowsers -
That was pretty impressive!
Beening a "Nightight" i would be all over those dishes, just wish there were more soups and stews. But where are the pies guys?
They did have a soup every night and we probably missed it a few of the nights.
That all looks so good but I’d have eaten everything on the German night, I’d have a mound of sauerkraut the size of mt. Everest!
Lol lots of tasty food there 😋
*Late Night* and *Buffet*
Two things I wish we had on land ;_;
Rare on land for sure!
I think I put on five pounds just looking at it - Wonderful. :)
Lots of good eats! 😋 Thanks for commenting!
🤤
😋
LOL "Los Angeles Dogs" Here in Los Angeles we call them "Dirty Dogs" or "Street Dogs". They are usually found being cooked on cookie sheets over Sterno by street vendors outside bars and clubs.
Yes! Reminded me of Dodger Dogs as well 😋
I doubt I'd be walking far Day 5 after the German specialities. And the paella. I don't think I've eaten 2000 calories after midnight before, but there's a first time for everything.
Lol- those sausages look really good! 😋
😮
I try these rolls with holes .....
if i was super rich id BUY a cabin on the QE2 and never leave just eat and eat till i drop.
They had some tasty food for sure! 😋
Do people really each such heavy food before going to bed?
Well sorry to say nothing trips my trigger on this buffet. I would prefer to have some toast and a pot of tea brought to my cabin!
Toast & a pot of tea sound good as well! Thanks for the comment. 🙂
Whenever I think of Los Angeles I think of something vegan. Not a hot dog wrapped in bacon. The German food looked the best
Impressive, I wonder if you can get a coffee at 4am?
I think you can help yourself to one of the coffee dispensers at the King's Court buffet, though they might have them shut down for maintenance.
wow am getting hungry watch this video
Lots of good eats! 😋
Those are some heavy foods they're serving for going to sleep on I thought that would be light foods like salads cottage cheese cold cuts maybe some salmon and things like that nature
Can you make a plate and take it back to your cabin?
You sure can!
Is it self serve or do the chefs serve and plate the food ? Just asking due to Covid and hands sharing utensils etc
Self serve though there are crew members to help if you need anything
@@TravelTouristVideos thanks .. just came off a holland America cruise Hobart to Adelaide to Melbourne and main Buffett was NOT self service but the chefs would plate all food as desired.
Interesting was Covid cases was no more than 20 cases out of 2500 passengers and crew.
Yes Holland America has always been crew-serve. BTW I want to clarify that Cunard should still be self serve (except for the late night buffet) as they, like Holland America, have always been crew-serve.
How do you remember what each dish is?
We also take a photo of the labels, but occasionally things are mislabeled or not labeled, and we'd have to make an educated guess. But 98% or so are named according to how Cunard labeled each item.
Is that all?
That's a splendid selection of interesting but not outlandish food.
Absolutely!
Do these cruise trips encourage gluttony? Or they just want to recycle excessive food?
and now i,m starving, is this buffet well signposted,if this is doggy friendly i would be tempted to take a doggy bag to my little girl??!!!! hope the sandwiches come in wholemeal bread as well.
You sure can grab plates of food from the buffet and enjoy in your cabin 🙂
What's the name of the restaurant or what days and hours can you actually go there is it inside Queen mary?
This is the King's Court buffet restaurant, located on Deck 7 on the Queen Mary 2. It's open every day and night for breakfast, lunch, dinner & late snack.
Rather a small selection...but it is late!
And you were up bright and early next morning for breakfast full English of course
How'd you guess? 😏 Actually we typically don't eat breakfast, but have to sometimes for port days/disembarkation.
The only way I would be able to eat anything would be to have an early dinner In the dining room. Even then, I would only get a cookie and just look Greedily around
That's the way to do it lol
I hope the crew gets to eat the leftovers .👍
The crew actually has their own buffet, possibly with some similar food. The fish & other marine life get the leftovers actually.
