If you have ever been on a
cruise, the dining choices are endless from culinary artistry to buffets. One
way to enjoy without setting sail is aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA.
The Champagne Sunday Brunch is held every Sunday in the Grand Salon. Full of
elegance and spirit, you can close your eyes and imagine guests of yester year
wearing their most formal attire, wine glasses clinking, and amazingly elegant
dishes they might have served. As you open your eyes, the voices of other
brunchers bounce off the walls of the Grand Salon and the aroma of food begins
to tantalize your senses.
An attentive server will be
around to offer you orange juice and champagne. Mix them together to make your
own mimosa. Here is a listing of what you may see while you are perusing the
buffet:
