The food in the main dining room at times seemed to be partially spoiled and the portions were small enough that it appears they are trying to "force" passengers to use the extra cost alternative dining. The selection in the buffet was very limited with a big emphasis on pork and lamb with very little beef ever. The employees in the buffet area were very discourteous they would step out in front as you were walking then suddenly stop to chat with a co-worker, totally unacceptable Cunard, are you listening... The cabin steward worked really hard and was a highlight of the cruise. The Cunard showroom troop was stale and with what the cruise cost you would think Cunard could have done better. The scones and clotted cream were already made with strawberry jam which didn't work very well if one didn't like strawberry jam or simply didn't want jam on their scone.
