Do not order the lamb.

It absolutely rocks.

YouTube Video Description

Patreon Now Open - Not For Everyone! Queen Mary 2 is famous for tradition, elegance, Afternoon Tea, grand dining rooms and people pretending they don’t know what P&O is. But what is the food actually like in 2026 if you’re not hiding away in the Grills? In this full QM2 dining review, I try every dining option available to ordinary Britannia guests — from the beautiful main dining room to Verandah, Golden Lion, Kings Court buffet, Chef’s Galley, Carinthia Lounge, room service, Afternoon Tea in the Queens Room and the speciality dining pop-ups. Some of it was excellent. Some of it was very disgusting. All of it was very Cunard. Some of it made me question whether children should ever be allowed near speciality dining. And one moment in the buffet may be the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen at sea — luckily, old Tommy Cruisetube was there to save civilisation one shouted sentence at a time. This is a spoiler-free food tour of Cunard Queen Mary 2: eaten, rated, slated and occasionally emotionally processed through sarcasm. If you’re thinking of booking QM2, wondering whether Cunard food is still worth the hype, or just want to know whether Afternoon Tea has redeemed itself after last year… this one is for you. Here, ladies and gentlemen… WE GO! #QueenMary2 #Cunard #QM2 #CruiseFood #CruiseReview #CunardQueenMary2 #CruiseTube #BritanniaDining #AfternoonTea #CruiseDining
