Cunard 101 with Ted Blank | Food, Dining Rooms, Staterooms & That “Big Ship, Calm Vibe”

On this episode of Ted Talks Cruises, Ted breaks down Cunard—from signature dining and afternoon tea to stateroom picks and why their ships feel refined (not crowded) even at scale. We dig into dining room options, dress codes & gala nights, service style, entertainment, and who Cunard is perfect for (and who might prefer another line).

What we cover

• Dining: main restaurants, specialty options, afternoon tea, room service
• Dress codes & gala nights—what to pack and expect
• Staterooms: layout, noise/smooth-sailing tips, “which deck for me?”
• Big ship, unhurried feel—how Cunard manages space & crowd flow
• Sea days, enrichment, and classic transatlantic vs. regular itineraries
• Is Cunard right for you? Value, vibe, and booking pointers
