Rare MicCanberra Posted July 23, 2018 #26 Share Posted July 23, 2018 My father & brother did this on that posh ship the queen Elizabeth, said it was very nice.

NSWP Posted July 23, 2018 #27 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Cunard's one is not as elaborate but it is free and it is every afternoon on sea days.. On QM2 last year they had arvo tea in the magnificent ballroom, tried it once, white gloves, piano, cucumber sambos (with no crusts Uncle Mic) , scones, the whole business. Uncle Les had the GF stuff of course, not as nice but edible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rassa Posted July 24, 2018 #28 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Went on Adonia this year out of Southampton. I was expecting great afternoon tea on an English ship full of Brits. What a let down compared to Princess. There were never enough staff serving. The food (only for afternoon tea) was not much better. The cakes looked like left overs from a previous function. I couldn't believe the Brits did not even complain. Everything else about the cruise was wonderful. Unfortunately, after going to a number of Princess afternoon teas, my expectations were high (for something very British) but it did not affect my enjoyment of the cruise.

cruisine21 Posted July 24, 2018 #30 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I found the tea luke warm but the tidbits were nice. Our tea was ok. If it was good enough for the captain at the table near us it was good enough for me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted July 24, 2018 #31 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I found the tea luke warm but the tidbits were nice. I am not a tea drinker, but requested a nice pot of coffee, which I duly received from the white gloved waiter.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Maybe I just like my tea (close to boiling point) hot. Yes, many officers at the arvo teas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
