CPA92 Posted February 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Is the iced tea fresh brewed or from a powder? Sweetened or unsweetened? I drink mine with no sugar added and want to make sure I don't drink any with sugar added. Can I get iced tead anytime? I like it in the morning instead of coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how it's made. There is no extra charge for iced tea, but it can be hard to get outside of restaurants. I don't know of a venue on Liberty that serves iced tea, except for eating venues and room service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bob, Is this the same on the Navigator? We are typical Southerners. We like iced tea and can drink it all day. Thank you, Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Debbie Yes Debbie, same thing on Navigator. This is a pet peeve of mine, but I don't understand why on the ships with a Promenade (Voyager/Freedom/Oasis class) they don't have iced tea and lemonade available in Cafe Promenade or some other venue open 24 hrs. Very rarely I've seen a container of iced tea on some days in CP. On Radiance class, they had self serve drinks available outside 24 hrs, aft of Windjammer. On Monarch, they're available in Sorrento's 24 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it in the morning instead of coffee I'm pretty sure it's made from concentrate, which regardless of what people think of it, is made from brewed tea. It definitely doesn't taste like fresh brewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare silentbob007 Posted February 1, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Definitely from concentrate and definitely not the freshest tasting in the world. Of course, if you have time, you should also have access to hot water, tea bags, and ice in the WJ or other self-serve dining venue. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rarely I've seen a container of iced tea on some days in CP. . Was just recently on the Navigator and the Cafe Promenade did have Ice Tea as well as water flavored with slices of real fresh fruit 24 hours every day. It was all out in plain sight at the end of the table seating in front of Cafe Promenade. The end closest to the elevators. On the Allure Ice tea was also available 24 hours at Cafe Promenade and Sorrentos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaylemh Posted February 1, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I also like to drink ice tea in the morning. It is not available in the WJ for breakfast. When I ordered ice tea for breakfast with room service on Explorer last year, they actually charged me the same price as for a soft drink. When I complained, they said it was not available until after breakfast and there would be an additional charge for any time before that. After that I just went up to the WJ at night and brought a couple of glasses down to my cabin for the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare lorimay Posted February 1, 2013 #15 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm a big iced tea drinker and I know from past cruises the tea is not very good. I brought a cheap (less than $20) plastic electric kettle and a small plastic pitcher in my suitcase and made my own every day in my cabin. The cabin attendant always had ice for me and I brought a cup to carry around on the ship. A couple of times I made my own iced tea with hot tea and ice in the Windjammer. The regular iced tea they serve is from concentrate and was better this time than the last cruise I took but doesn't compared to fresh-brewed tea.

Jimnbigd Posted February 1, 2013 #16 Share Posted February 1, 2013 You can make fresh ice tea anytime in Cafe Promenade (deck 5) with a tea bag, hot water, and ice. They will get you a glass of ice. No charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The iced tea is very good, too! I love some cold iced tea after a long port day (because I don't drink sugary drinks, I'd rather eat my 1 dessert a day than drink it! :) ) and some nice fresh fruit with it!

Deebs2 Posted February 2, 2013 #18 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I only drink iced tea. I thought it was pretty awful so I did as others suggested. I brewed hot tea and put it over ice. Voila! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneputt18 Posted February 2, 2013 #19 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The ice tea and lemonade are made from a concentrate that comes in a plastic bag that is loaded in to the machine. I watched the guy do it in the Solarium cafe. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted February 2, 2013 #20 Share Posted February 2, 2013 In the Windjammer at lunch, especially early lunch around 11AM, the iced tea can taste like apple juice. I used to wonder why and once asked a waiter why the iced tea tasted more like apple juice than tea. He told me that the iced tea comes through the same machine tubing and spigott as the apple juice does in the morning. Until plenty of tea has passed though the tube, the apple juice residue mixes with the tea. I don't like apple juice, so I still need to do the hot water, tea bag and glass of ice trick to make my own frershly brewed tea. By the way, we were able to get iced tea served in a glass for breakfast in the main dining room on LIberty. There was no extra charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookish Angel Posted February 2, 2013 #21 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I use tea bags and a lot of ice from the Windjammer dispensers to make myself some strong, decaf, minimally sweetened iced tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
