From your waiters and stateroom stewards to the many more people supporting behind the scenes, every Cunard crew member puts their heart and skill into ensuring you experience Cunard's legendary White Star Service.

To ensure crew in these areas are rewarded for the service they provide to you, and to eliminate the need for tipping, a hotel and dining service charge is added to your onboard account and every dollar collected goes directly to the crew members. There is no administrative fee. Of course, should you wish to individually reward any other crew member who has made your time on board particularly memorable, please feel free to do so.

Hotel and dining service charge.

Amounts vary by stateroom category as follows:

• Queens and Princess Grill Suites $16.50 per person per night
• Britannia and Britannia Club staterooms $14.50 per person per night

For bar, wine, casino and salon services. 

A 15% charge is automatically added to your on board account for each purchase.

For more information, please see our service charges page.

All of our ships are Wi-Fi-enabled so you can access the internet on your own devices or via our terminals in the library or ConneXions. Wi-Fi packages are available to purchase once on board through My Voyage. For more details, visit our staying connected page.

Wi-Fi is free to all guests for the purposes of accessing My Voyage, our onboard digital planner, on personal devices. Connection is available from the moment you step on board, and instructions can be found in your stateroom.

You can also use your roaming partner - when near shore - or the MCP network - when at sea. Charges for these connections are set by your network service provider and will be added to your mobile bill rather than your onboard account. Please contact your normal service provider for data allowance and costs.

A Complimentary Internet Time Plan is available to our Gold, Platinum and Diamond World Club members. Terms and conditions apply. For more information on these and other benefits, visit our Cunard World Club page.

On a Cunard voyage, guests can enjoy two main dining options: Main (stateroom) dining, and alternative dining.

Main dining.

Every stateroom grade on board has an associated restaurant, all of which offer menus that vary by the day and cater to all tastes. Breakfast, lunch and dinner in your assigned stateroom restaurant are included in your cruise fare.

• Britannia Restaurant - for Britannia Inside, Oceanview and Balcony staterooms. Guests will be able to choose between Early, Late or Open Dining options.
• Britannia Club Restaurant - for Britannia Club staterooms. Guests have an assigned table and can dine whenever they wish each evening.
• Princess Grill Restaurant - for Princess Grill suites.  Guests have an assigned table and can dine whenever they wish each evening.
• Queens Grill Restaurant - for Queens Grill suites.  Guests have an assigned table and can dine whenever they wish each evening.

Some other venues on board serve menus that are also included in the cruise fare, offering a change of scenery at mealtimes. The Golden Lion serves traditional pub fare, whereas Kings Court and the Lido buffets serve a wide variety of ever-changing dishes from the early hours until late at night, often including menus inspired by ports on the current itinerary. If a quiet night in is what you desire, take advantage of our complimentary room service and eat when it suits you in the privacy of your stateroom.

Also included in your fare is Cunard's signature Afternoon Tea: a must-try experience, served in the Queens Room while live music is played in the background.

Alternative dining.

Whether it's for a special occasion or simply just because, our alternative dining venues are available to tempt you. These include Dinner at the Lido or Kings Court - separate from the buffet, these are elevated dining experiences with meals prepared at the table, exquisite presentation and delicious wine pairings from our expert sommelier. Each of our ships also features Steakhouse at the Verandah, a unique dining experience with the finest cuts of beef, seafood and a variety of other delectable options for you to savour - and a unique cocktail menu to accompany it. All of these dining venues are available at additional cost, payable on booking.

For a surcharge, you can elevate your afternoon tea with champagne or, on Queen Mary 2, you can try a special Godiva afternoon tea, featuring mouth-watering delights for true fans of chocolate.
