CRUZ-AHOLIC Posted April 19, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Cucumber sandwiches, some delicious smoked salmon, plus many other tasty delights...but here, a pic does so much better at explaining... Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted April 19, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I've found they serve different items on different cruises. I've had the cucumber sandwiches, watercress sandwiches, shrimp salad sandwiches, salmon and cream cheese sandwiches, mini-cream puffs, scones and lemon curd, petit fours, mints, and more that I've forgotten. They have a great variety of teas you can choose from. My favorite is "Blue Eyes", which you rarely see in most Tea Rooms. I never miss Tea Time on Carnival sea days.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman9859 Posted April 19, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I was wondering if tea time is covered by the cruise fare or is their an out-of pocket expense? Also, how often are tea times on a typical 5-7 day cruise? Do they occur only on Sea Days? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenscruise Posted April 19, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Tea times occur on Sea Days. You will find them listed in the capers. Normally mid-afternoon (3-ish). It is part of your cruise fare. Go and enjoy the lovely teas, snacks, and music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash4020 Posted April 19, 2008 #9 Share Posted April 19, 2008 What is the dress code for tea? Is it casual or more Sunday church wear? I'm assuming Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandi149 Posted April 19, 2008 #10 Share Posted April 19, 2008 What is the dress code for tea? Is it casual or more Sunday church wear? I'm assuming Sunday. It's casual but no bathing suits. I wore a pair of capris and my husband wore pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last Glory cruise had 2 sea days, so there were 2 teas. Both were 3:30-4:30 p.m. in the Ivory Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popsec Posted April 19, 2008 #12 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I'd been wanting to check out the tea time and finally managed it on the Fascination when I went with my Mom & sister. I dropped my mom off so she could listen to the piano music and I dashed off to the casino for a few minutes. I came back to get her and one of the waiters brought over a tray with some really yummy pastries (these weren't available anywhere else on the ship). I must admit I had several:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpsychRN Posted April 19, 2008 #13 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I thought this might be one of those "what time is the midnight buffet" questions. I unfortunately missed tea time when it was offered because I just couldn't eat another bite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjkumbaya Posted April 19, 2008 #16 Share Posted April 19, 2008 We enjoyed the tea aboard the Miracle twice last month - it was very nice and yummy. We didn't really know what we were doing with the tea the first day, but did much better the second day. The smoked salmon with cream cheese sandwiches were the best!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruizinMom2c Posted April 19, 2008 #17 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I never even knew they had this?? I told my husband that this trip we are completely reading the Capers to see what new things we can do ...since last trip was a lot of lounging around and not taking part of activities.

afcj1 Posted April 19, 2008 #22 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Great pictures:) My last cruise was port intensive and was post knee surgery, so on sea days I needed rest...by the pool! On this cruise I plan on thoroughly enjoying the ship:p :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellen9974 Posted April 19, 2008 #23 Share Posted April 19, 2008 May I suggest that you arrive on time for the tea or you might not get a seat. The last two teas I have been to were unable to seat all the people because it was so crowded. Some people that arrive 10 to 15 min late were mad because there were no more seats.

nolaAlive Posted April 19, 2008 #25 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Arriving early is best, but there is usually time for a second wave and maybe a third. A number of people don't stay longer than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea and scarf down some calories before moving on. But it is best when you are in the first wave and not waiting for a table like in a diner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
