Cunard Dining Information

To sail with Cunard is like taking a step back in time to the golden age of luxury ocean liners. Make a sweeping entrance all dressed up in your finery. Linger over cocktails in the bar before sitting down to one of Cunard's culinary rituals - from a simple spa lunch on deck or cream cakes and Darjeeling at tea time, to casual meals in the Lido, or the tantalizing gourmet fare in one of the formal restaurants.

Main Dining Room Policies: Cunard guests dine in different dining rooms according to their cabin types.

Guests staying in most cabins are assigned to one of two seatings in the main dining room for their evening meal, early or late. The early and late seating times can vary by ship or itinerary, but are usually at around 6:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., respectively. Dinner seating preferences may be requested at the time of booking, but are not guaranteed.

Guests staying in suite cabins may dine in their assigned dining room any time between 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.

Dress Code: Most nights will be Smart Attire. Gentlemen may wear smart trousers with a collared shirt (jacket and tie are optional). Ladies, blouses and skirts or stylish trousers and dresses are welcome. On Gala nights,  it's dinner jacket, tuxedo, or dark suit for the men with a regular tie or bow tie. Evening or cocktail dress, smart trouser suit, or formal separates for the ladies please. You can also wear formal national dress and military uniform.

Please note that after 6:00pm, shorts and blue or worn denim (for men and women) and sandals and sleeveless tops (for men) are not considered appropriate within the ship.
