Marronnier Posted November 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 6, 2022 We will be boarding the QM2 on the 13th November. I have just looked at the 'Alternative Dining' options and it appears that the themed dining options( La Piazza, Bamboo and Coriander etc) previously offered seem to have been replaced by "Dinner at Kings Court" . I've appended the sample menu. I would be interested to know if any one has tried this menu and if indeed this is the new Kings Court alternative dining option. I've always enjoyed the previous menus ( La Piazza, Bamboo and Coriander etc), the new offering looks less interesting. Thanks for any information you can offer.

exlondoner Posted November 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) When we were on QM2 in the summer, the voyage personaliser mentioned this, but in fact it didn’t appear, and we had a very nice meal in La Piazza. So don’t count your chickens. Edited November 6, 2022 by exlondoner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentlemancruiser Posted November 13, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Sorry Dinner at Kings Court is gone, we tried to get it on Oct 25th crossing and were told it no longer offer. The menu remains on the My Voyage app which is just silly. Kings Court will have Corianders & La Piazza on alternating nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentlemancruiser Posted November 13, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Regular buffet dinner is available. However the special alternative menu "Kings Court" venue for dinner is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB_NJ Posted November 13, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 13, 2022 This exchange has now gotten me confused. On the QE, at the Lido, is there an option for sit-down dinner service at an extra cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marronnier Posted November 18, 2022 Author #16 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I can now answer my own question as I am now onboard the QM2. As an early reply stated, the Kings Court alternative dining venue is operating as it has done in the past. On this TA it's alternated between La Piazza and Bamboo and seems very popular. Thanks for all the replies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I have to rush to make reservations the first thing on-board (we will be traveling on the QE however I am guessing a similar system). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as soon as you get on board, though the first night is cheaper, but I have rung up on the day I wanted to go and it was full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv24 Posted November 18, 2022 #20 Share Posted November 18, 2022 We love Bamboo. We have often gone to these pop-up restaurants and have never had a problem getting a same day reservation. We do dine late, after 8:00, so maybe that makes a difference. Almost every time there were a lot of empty tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
