This was a very special encounter with a beautiful eagle ray sifting through the sand for a tasty meal. As bottom feeders, eagle rays hunt for prey on the seafloor. Like stingrays, their mouths are on the underside of their bodies. However, they also have a protruding snout full of electro-sensory pores that work as a kind of food radar. Eagle rays are carnivores with specialized flat teeth designed for grinding and crushing crustaceans and molluscs. However, they aren't fussy eaters and will also chow down on worms, small fish and even octopuses.

Welcome to one of the best kept secrets on Queen Mary 2! Chef's Galley isn't shown on many deck plans, and many guests won't even know where it is, but this casual table service venue offers some of the tastiest food onboard (including some excellent pizza!). Technically, part of the buffet, Chef's Galley offers an intimate table service venue with food that is cooked to order for lunch and dinner. What do you think? Have you eaten here? Let us know in the comments!
