Dining Á LA CUNARD |
||
 |
In a day of restaurant chains and fast foods, Cunard provides a tasteful return to the fine art of dining. Artistically crafted entrees are gracefully presented amid sparkling crystal, fine china and murmurs of approval from appreciative guests. And as each new delicacy is unveiled, the sommelier is pleased to share his expertise with his recommendations from the largest wine cellars afloat. After dessert, elegantly dressed guests linger over coffee and socialize a while. For our guests are generally a sophisticated crowd, who find they share much in common. |
|
| But no matter where you dine, you will discover a standard of culinary excellence and service found in the finest shoreside establishments. A breakfast of piping hot croissants and cool raspberries. A simple spa lunch on deck. Cream cakes and cucumber sandwiches with a cup of Earl Grey at afternoon tea, that most quintessential of British rituals. It is classic traditions such as these that infuse our royal monarchs with a gracious civility so far removed from ordinary ships. And so appealing as an escape from the rush-rush world of today. | ||

| When it’s time to retire, you’ll return to find that everything is neat and in order. The covers have been turned down and the lights dimmed, so that you can just close your eyes to fall into that deep, restful slumber that seems so blissfully inherent on an ocean-going voyage. Of course, if you do wake up in the middle of the night with a craving for milk and cookies, that can be easily arranged. Cunard offers room service 24-hours a day. | ||
