Creator's Key Takeaways

I think it was probably the best quality buffet food that we've seen on a cruise ship.

Their cheese quality was so good. It had great flavor. It didn't have that sort of rubbery feeling.

We did find that we were venturing in there with our little one quite often because we could just get food for him fast and it was pretty good quality.

They have a beautiful seating area, a lot of window seating.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Walk around the entire buffet to find all the different food areas.

✓Mix and match items from different stations to assemble your ideal plate.

✓Use a big plate for dessert and don't feel limited by small plates.

✓Take food back to your room if you don't want to eat it all at the buffet.

✓Eat at off-peak hours to avoid crowds and find a seat more easily.

Dress code on Cunard — Don't let the dress code scare you; the buffet is a casual dining location where you don't have to worry about it.

Finding a seat during busy times — Be patient and flexible; eating at off-peak hours is always nice, and you can usually find a table.
