…dining venue, the Brittania Club. This separate room next to the Brittania restaurant will cater to those occupying deluxe balcony cabins. Other restaurants are also open to all passengers. Todd English, which in my mind is the best restaurant aboard, requires reservations and is the only one with a surcharge ($20 for lunch, $30 for dinner). I loved bangers and mash for lunch at the Golden Lion Pub, a British-style eatery. Kings Court, with four d…
…e weaving through it and I would encourage you to embrace that. The Eately restaurant has great Italian food There is another restaurant, La Cantina di Bacco, which has the most phenomenal pizzas I have ever had. The pizza oven is right there in the restaurant and you can watch the chef making the pizzas. On the last night in the main restaurant is the Italian menu. A beautiful menu with loads of Italian dishes and tables decorated with the colors…
…abeth Q4 Penthouse we stayed in: https://youtu.be/DfSRR1TDpbE Queens Grill Restaurant This is as gorgeous. We were initially on table 43, which was at the rear, and so completely different part of the restaurant than that we had on Queen Victoria. Our waiter was Luciano from Columbia, who has been serving on Cunard ships for over 33 years starting with the Coronia and had many interesting and often amusing stories to tell, and our Junior Waiter wa…
…at I was talking about. And if you’re in an Aqua Class, you eat in the Blu restaurant. The Retreat If you are in a suite, what they call The Retreat, you eat in the Luminae. Along with many other unique features. You have the suite, a butler, that Luminae restaurant, a lounge with concierges to help make arrangements, a large deck with a pool, hot tubs, bar, and you can eat lunch out there. Then priority with boarding, disembarking, tendering and…
…like the Golden Lion Pub, the Carinthia Cafe / Lounge, the Verandah Grills restaurant, the only specialty dining restaurant. #6 Events that make Cunard Cunard also has a few iconic events that are fundamental to the line. These are reasons I always have a great time on board. Firstly, it’s all about dancing and you’ll find dancing classes during the day. In the evening, you’ll find a live orchestra performing in the Queens Room for ballroom dancin…
…ond, passengers arriving at the last minute before the closing time of the restaurant. For example, if the restaurant closes at 9am for breakfast or 9pm for dinner and passengers arrive just before that. And thirdly, people lingering. So, for example, if cruisers have finished breakfast or dinner and hang around at their table chatting long after the restaurant is closed. The waiters must reset and prepare the restaurant for the next meal and cann…
…fore it in the corridor is Il Terrazzino, the reservation-required Italian restaurant. Tucked away next to a table tennis room is La Dame, their premium added-charge French restaurant. Also on this deck is the Connoisseurs Corner, the cigar and smoking room. On Deck 3 is the Mud Room, which is where you store your boots, and board and leave the Zodiacs used for all off-ship activities. The free guest laundry room is here too. The ship has six diff…
…24 hour well equipped fitness centre and efficient but predictable bar and restaurant with good breakfasts and a limited choice on food otherwise. I had a really great room. I think I was upgraded to a Junior Suite, as it was very large and split into 2 areas by a large divider. There was a massive flat screen TV, big comfortable bed, good sized desk and small seating area. There is not much of a view, as you look into office though from one angle…
…has a separate shower and bath, which is unusual and good for a hotel. The restaurant was efficient but fairly expensive for both dinner and breakfast. There is a large conference/ meeting room level with many meeting rooms. Again very efficient. Overall this was one of the better airport hotels that I have stayed at, as usually with the high turn you can often feel a bit like a number rather than a guest. That was not the case here. A perfectly g…
…ee water and coffee and tea making in the room. I had dinner in the buffet restaurant which was perfectly fine, with a good selection across starters, mains and deserts. Another nice touch is by the lifts are a selection of papers in varying languages. Overall a pretty decent stay and fairly reasonable. I note they do very good weekend rates, so assume this is very much a business commuter hotel normally. View video of the room on YouTube click he…
…r for people getting on late at night. The hotel lobby, as many people who review the hotel will say, looks good and modern. This is not bad since I think the hotel used to be a rather dire office block when I first moved to London about 20 years ago. The bedrooms are neat enough, and effort has been made to given them a modern look. The roof is quite low and although a good size the overall effect is a bit stark. The beds are not very comfortable…
