Hot tea options

Unfortunately, they only had that Fields & Select stuff on the W'dam.:( But I was so happy when the PG Tips arrived.:D The weird thing is, when they had the Lounge inspection (apparently it happens several times a week) they had to hide the bowl of PG Tips. Go figure - better not show what the passengers want!

Thanks for the update. Guess I'll add teabags to my packing list for my next cruise. :mad:

They were serving the Bigelow tea and it was wonderful. Had all of the great flavor selections for hot tea and the iced tea was excellent too.

No sign of the replacement brand - but with the ship leaving the fleet, they may just be trying to get rid of the old selections.

Thank goodness for the PG Tips. I hope that's still available for our next cruise! I thought Bigelow was poor (tea dust), but this new stuff sounds worse. On our last cruise, I was sad to see that they no longer have their house-label Darjeeling. That was my favorite.

 

Ditto. I wish they still had that tea, the one with the HAL logo.

I don't remember which brand of English Breakfaaast tea I was drinking on the Eurodam last month but I know from the picture posted earlier in this thread that it wasn't the Field & Stream brand you all are complaining about.

Bigelow is on the Maasdam! I was so happy. We had even taken teabags with us because that Fields Select stuff we had on the Westerdam in May was awful.

Do they have hot water and tea bags in the spa? Never been on HA, but on Celebrity they have "better" brand tea bags up there.

I don't recall ever seeing different teas in the spa area.

As someone has already mentioned, the Ryndam, recently sailing from UK had some tubs of teabags available as well as the individual packets. PGtips, Tetley and Yorkshire.

I was interested to note that Yorkshire seemed by far the most popular, followed by Tetley and then PG tips. At least, I gathered this by how full(or not) the tubs were at any given time...well, it was something to do while preparing my cuppa.:D

A lady posted a brief review of her very recent Alaska sailing on the Amsterdam and said that Bigelow teas were back!

Darn - already bought my stash for the WC but YEAH

Just off Amsterdam this morning. As I did for my May trip on Amsterdam, I packed my own tea for this one. Turns out I didn't need to!

Lido and MDR -- PG Tips and great selection of Bigelow

Pinnacle -- Harney and Sons

No Fields ANYWHERE in sight!!

This time they listened to us!

Hurrah! Hurrah! We board on October 2 - have already purchased and packed up a bunch of tea for DH and I - I guess we don't have to bring it.

YEA! :D YEA! :D YEA! :D

Guess I don't have to stock pile tea bags for our next cruise!

Many thanks to HAL for listening.
