tppeach Posted November 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Going on the carnival liberty in Feb. DW and LD want to go to the afternoon tea on the sea day. Just wondering if there is a dress code for that. I can't find anything on the carnival website. Thanks.

Personally I would wear anything I would wear as a casual dinner. I would not wear shorts and Ts but that is me, I consider a Tea more of a formal event. I am sure many do however.

Elaine5715 Posted November 19, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 19, 2017 As stated but the dining room seems to be extra chilly during tea time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceansOfTravels Posted November 19, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 19, 2017 We usually go for every single sea day on cruises. I think I have worn a dry solid-color swimsuit once, and it must've been mistaken as a pair of shorts, because I wasn't spoken to. But pool wear will usually not be allowed in, just be dry and wearing something casual and you should be allowed in. It's a very fun thing to do while at sea :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellfree Posted November 19, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I tend to dress up a bit for "Tea Time" but many do not - there is a variety of ensembles! But do not miss it - delightful - you get lovely little finger sandwiches and many desserts you do not see elsewhere - the scones are wonderful. Sometimes I think I cruise for the scones at Tea Time.

Lydia B. Posted November 20, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I sometimes just throw on a dress like bathing suit coverup. Most folks have on casual wear lots of dressy shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybaby1113 Posted November 20, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I usually go in whatever I'm wearing around the ship. Typically yoga pants and a tee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if there is a dress code for that. I can't find anything on the carnival website. Thanks. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Forums mobile app I just kind of find the "afternoon tea" a little humorous on Carnival. It is a tradition that originated around the wealthy, and is often found in the upscale hotels, etc. To ask what the dress code is and to show up in "yoga" pants, t-shirts, and flip flops, just makes a mockery of the occasion. It's just snack time on Carnival, and is not really "afternoon tea". If they really want afternoon tea, than they should make it as what it was meant to be.

riffatsea Posted November 20, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 20, 2017 The answer is there is no dress code. Most of Carnival's activities do not have real dress codes. Even if you do "afternoon tea" at a fancy hotel you'd see most folks dressed in fairly casual clothing although they'd not be wearing shorts or bathing suits.

In other words it's not a High Tea and I think it's very nice that Carnival offers this afternoon treat for its guests. We wouldn't miss it, regardless of what others are wearing.

marshhawk Posted November 24, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 24, 2017 We love the little sandwiches!! and we wear shorts/skirt/jeans...in other words we don't dress up or down to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on our first Carnival cruise this Monday. I was delighted to find out about tea time. I am hoping the scones are as good as on Princess. I wouldn't neccesarily go on a Princess just for the scones, but it helps! Does anyone know if they serve scones in the buffet at the same time as tea time?

tallnthensome Posted November 24, 2017 #15 Share Posted November 24, 2017 This is Carnival, not the Titanic. Guests could care less what they look like in the main dining room so worrying about a tea setting isn't worth the thought. Again, this is Carnival ......

buddylover Posted November 24, 2017 #16 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Just off the Magic and were so disappointed in that there was NO TEA TIME on the sea day!!! First CCL cruise that didn't have it.....was not in Fun Times.....and we 'searched'.....:loudcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with that acronym... Last Daughter? Lowest Daughter? Little Demon??? At least your comment made me LOL at my own possible definitions! As for the tea, from what I understand, if you're a tea connoisseur you may not like the tea they offer... and apparently they offer different kinds for a fee. For me, tea is tea... if it's hot I'll drink it. Now iced tea- that's different! I'm much pickier about my sweet tea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froufie Posted November 24, 2017 #20 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Teatime is loads of fun and so yummy - nice break to the day - every seaday at 3 pm - HOWEVER it is hard to 'find' as it is NOT LISTED as part of the 'activities' but only on the food page (All kinds of deliciousness) - so you need to look for it there..... see attached where it is 'hidden' under 'alternative dining!!!!!!

Thanks for this helpful reminder. We nearly panicked on the Miracle last February and the staff at the desk had to show us where the tea is now listed. I've noticed less people at tea since they no longer post tea time as an event under the daily activities. I won't start a rumor but this change does cause me concern.

Causes me huge concern as well - I can see this going the way of 'well no one seems to be attending so let's do away with this!' (sound familiar?) Actually posted this on John Heald's FB page asking him to 'move' this to the activities side - and I would suggest others do the same so that others don't miss out on teatime...and then it disappears!!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDeeJay Posted November 26, 2017 #23 Share Posted November 26, 2017 The Little Woman is bringing the pearls for Tea. This occasion is Afternoon Tea. Sandwiches, cakes, scones. Looking forward to it! (High Tea would be around 5;00 pm and include meat filled pasties, then the evening meal held around 9:00 pm.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSACE6 Posted November 26, 2017 #24 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I hope they dont do away with the afternoon tea. It remains one of the nicer, dare I say classier things that Carnival still offers. But I am probably going to be disappointed again some day, and will see that explanation, of how people did not attend, so they are discontinuing it. As for original question. yes Casual dress is fine, same as breakfast or lunch in the MDR. No need to dress up Cunard style LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
