Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of the inclusive dining venues available on the Queen Mary 2. They begin with an in-depth look at the Britannia dining room, describing it as a beautiful and authentic traditional space. While they praise the quality and consistency of the breakfast and dinner service, they note that portion sizes in the main dining room are smaller than those in specialty venues and express a dislike for the vegetable variety and certain desserts like the carrot cheesecake. The review moves to the Kings Court buffet, which they rate highly for its consistent quality and international options, including a Malaysian section. They also evaluate the Golden Lion Pub, noting its traditional British pub fare, and the afternoon tea experience, which they describe as a lovely way to spend an hour despite some minor issues with the cream. Additionally, they highlight the convenience of the included 24-hour room service and the high quality of food found in Samuels. The creators conclude that while some menu items could be more exciting, the overall food quality is good and the service across all venues is fantastic, awarding the inclusive dining experience an eight out of ten.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get to the Golden Lion pub early to secure a table, as it fills up quickly before lunch.
βœ“For afternoon tea, arrive at least 15 minutes early to get a table, or 30 minutes early for a dance floor side table.
βœ“If you're a nibbler, use the 24-hour room service, which is included for all guests.
