Was the largest cruise ship afloat (until the arrival of RCI's Freedom of the Seas in MAY 06)

Second ship with this famous name. A diesel and gasturbine plant of 157.000 hp. enables her to sail with a speed of nearly 30 miles per hour. The steel plating for the sleek 1,131- foot-long hull was specially ordered and is several times thicker than that used on most contemporary cruiseships, This was done in order to achieve greater rigidity required for crossing the Atlantic Ocean in all weather conditions.

DINING BEYOND YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
PRECISELY WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM CUNARD.

Dining has always been the premier event of any Cunard voyage, a gustatory celebration where superb culinary creations are proudly served by waiters trained in the fine art of Cunard White Star ServiceSM . Clearly, lavish dining is the centerpiece of the QM2 experience, as well - with vastly expanded menus and venues.

There are 10 restaurants in all, a team of chefs that includes culinary advisor Daniel Boulud, one of the world's most famous chefs, and the celebrated Mediterranean and TV culinary luminary Todd English. As with the custom of ocean liners in the past, each QM2 stateroom is matched with a reserved table at a sea-view restaurant, complemented by the largest wine selection afloat. Of course, you can always make reservations at one of the many optional dining alternatives. Or don't dine out - dine in! Room service is available 24 hours a day.

Britannia Restaurant:
QM2's main dining room:
Make a grande descent down the sweeping stairway of the splendid, 3-story Britannia Restaurant, reminiscent of the opulent dining salons of the past. Princess & Queens Grill Restaurant:
If you're staying in one of the Q categories, savor the sublime creations of the Queens Grill, or the Princess Grill for P category guests. Cunard's Grill restaurants have been long acclaimed by food critics as the finest dining experience at sea.

Dining Alternatives:

Todd English
Enjoy delectable Mediterranean cuisine -- al fresco if you choose. Owner of the internationally famous Olives of Boston among others, Todd English, is one of America's leading chefs. He has been named both "Rising Star Chef" and "Best Chef: Northeast" by the James Beard Foundation, received the Robert Mondavi Award for Culinary Excellence and was named one of the "Top 50 Tastemakers" by Nation's Restaurant News. Chef English has appeared in numerous television shows including his own TV series Cooking in with Todd English. And he's more than a great chef. In 2001, English was named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People." Reservations are required and a surcharge applies at this popular eatery.

Kings Court
You can enjoy a casual breakfast or lunch in Kings Court. At night it is transformed into four intimate dining venues: an Asian restaurant, an Italian trattoria, the Carvery, and the Chef's Galley, where guests experience one of the most unique epicurean adventures anywhere. Here in a festive atmosphere, diners enjoy an interactive experience as the chef reveals his culinary secrets before their very eyes. Reservations are required and a surcharge applies at this popular eatery.

Golden Lion Pub
Fine lagers, ales and pub snacks are served in this charming British pub where you can enjoy a pint and watch televised sporting events.

Boardwalk Café
Enjoy lunch at this casual eatery near the pool - in your bathing suit if you choose.

Winter Garden
A proper British afternoon tea can be taken in the Winter Garden or Queens Grill Lounge. Naturally it's served freshly brewed (no tea bags here), complete with scones, clotted cream, fresh pastries, finger sandwiches and white glove service.
