After a few bad experiences we avoided KC whenever possible. The bad experiences which put us off included plates cold in the hot meals line; the food cold when meant to be hot; areas closing early; tables left un-cleared; plates too hot to carry without a tray; no trays (now solved by taking our own, see earlier post). Mostly it was the mediocre at best food quality. We've sailed more times than we can remember on QM2 and feel that the KC food and service has got worse as time has gone on. Cunard should offer better than this.

Drinks containers being used can result in the mouth-pieces of these containers touching, and therefore potentially contaminating, the dispensers. This doesn't apply to trays. Chairs, tables, any walking sticks, walking aids, mobility scooters, clothing, handbags, children's toys, daily newspaper, I-pads etc could all be said to be a risk.

Trays removed from QM2 Kings Court to bring in line with P&O we were told! People eating too much. Easily solved as we both bought smallish, lightweight trays at a port during the voyage which we will now take with us on all future voyages. I would advise all passengers to do the same! Saw many people struggling with hot plates, cups etc now there are no trays. Many people pretty angry! The food in KC was dire anyway, as was the service. Cold food, inedible. We only use for drinks and maybe a snack. In the past the trays were very large, maybe Cunard (Carnival) should issue small trays to help people carry more than one plate and one drink max? Cunard should stop advertising "White Star Service" as this is now, in the main, a myth. What a shame to see such bad standards on such a gorgeous ship.
