cibaygirls Posted February 27, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Chrysalis beat me to the punch and is correct. It starts at 3:30 and goes until 4:30.. you can go at whatever time you like within that time frame, you don't have to be there at 3:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted February 27, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Afternoon tea is served at 3:30. It will be announced in the daily Patter. I went several times on my last cruise in September. It is a really delightful afternoon treat and made me wonder why I had never done it before. Took me 20 cruises to finally attend, but I will be there in October when I sail to Hawaii. Enjoy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted February 27, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Check the Princess Patter for the exact time. I thought it was 3:30pm to 4:30pm, but I could be wrong or it could vary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potstech Posted February 27, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Afternoon tea was great. All those great cookies, cakes and scones. Only one problem with that is that if you have an early dinner time then watch out you may miss it the day you go to tea. Everything was soooooo good that we wanted to eat everything we could. Oops then it was time to go to dinner. Guess what we missed that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted February 27, 2012 #9 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Note that, at least on the Grand, they were strict about the 4:30 thing. We saw passengers being turned away for being a minute or two late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessmargaret Posted February 27, 2012 #10 Share Posted February 27, 2012 We are just off the Emerald Princess. We booked the Sanctuary for the whole cruise. We were shocked and delighted that on the first day, the attendants and carts appeared for tea service. Everything you would get in the dining room you got on your lounger without dressing up. We loved it! It's a toss-up as to which is better the scones or the mini eclairs :-) This is something relatively new, we did not have it last year on the Emerald.

Caribensun Posted February 28, 2012 #11 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Tea Time is 3:30 to 4:30 in DaVinci on the Grand. I did not see as many choices of treats as on other ships, but service impecible! Maybe because I got their 4:20pm too. The scones were delicious! Going again today-earlier.

Rare nellydean Posted February 28, 2012 #12 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Nothing beats white gloved afternoon tea on the QM2, for service, quality and elegant surroundings, but we had tea on the Grand Princess last July and enjoyed it. The scones were delicious. Even though it lasts an hour, we chose to go early, as there was always a big queue when we walked by (we only went once) and, what with people wanting seconds, the staff became a bit flustered as it went on, so I don't know whether the service would have suffered for latecomers because of that. But, enjoyable none the less :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compozer Posted February 28, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You can get it everyday if you book a suite. We never ordered it until one cruise where we invited some new friends down for cocktails one afternoon. I thought I should have something to snack on with our drinks so I ordered it. One of the gentlemen was English and I never thought about the connection but he was thrilled with it ( he even brought English champagne) and the other couple had never had tea before and really enjoyed it. So it was a huge success and we order it often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered it once and told them it was for one person but they sent SO MUCH food that I couldn't eat even a fraction of what they sent. I haven't ordered it since but a friend did order it (for two) for a small Meet and Greet we had in her cabin for about 20 people and there was plenty! We are just off the Emerald Princess.

They started it as an experiment a couple of days into our 2/6 cruise. All of the passengers (and even the staff!!!) were delighted so they kept doing it. I asked Yitro and he said it's an experiment and they may do it on other ships. I LOVED it and thought it was the NICEST touch!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just marvelous!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
