sennen Posted August 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I know that QM now has kettles in each cabin but do they prove tea pots as well. I hate tea made in a cup with a tea bag it is so wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durante Posted August 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2016 No teapot in our cabin. On the positive side, at least the water is hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueRiband Posted August 30, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm sorry to say that if Cunard provided all the accoutrements for tea making they would not last one week.:( Businesses have to do what is necessary to control their losses. If you want a proper pot of tea the only alternative is room service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-Atlantic Ridge Posted August 30, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Queens Grill cabins are provided with tea pots, l thought it was a nice little set up and a good addition to the cabin. M-AR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRiband Posted August 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks for the photo update - I was in PG on the first post-refit sailing but since it was new they had not yet had everything set up. In BC there was only a kettle, cups, sachets of instant coffee and tea. The setup was on top of the refrigerator and there is not enough room for much else. The week after I got off a member posted that her room was not restocked and the "kettle was put in the closet". Not clear from how she wrote it on whether she put the kettle in the closet of if her steward failed to service it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted August 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) I'm sorry to say that if Cunard provided all the accoutrements for tea making they would not last one week.:( Businesses have to do what is necessary to control their losses. If you want a proper pot of tea the only alternative is room service. I've never used room service just for tea but what you get for room service breakfast isn't a proper pot of tea. It's a pot, a teabag and some warm water - maybe I'm unlucky, I have peppermint tea but I am not sure the English Breakfast tea is any better.

Not clear from how she wrote it on whether she put the kettle in the closet of if her steward failed to service it. I know from talking with a fellow QG traveller that he took one look at it and had the steward place it all in the closet because it was "in the way". Conversely l thought it was inoffensive and easy to work round as Grill cabins are quite spacious in respect of surface storage. Everything was replenished as it was used, there were packets of biscuits inside the box containing the tea bags which were also restocked when necessary so hopefully things have settled down now if that was an initial problem. l did use it on a few occassions where previously l would not have bothered with a hot drink, so for me it is a convenient and appreciated extra amenity.
