sun-set Posted March 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2014 My sister finished a cruise on the Pacific Pearl this morning and told me they no longer serve afternoon tea on P&O, surely this can't be true :mad:. I haven't cruised with them recently so I hope someone can say P&O have not broken the tradition of serving tea and scones in the afternoon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sun-set Posted March 11, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted March 11, 2014 something i didn't know that they had afternoon tea on the Pearl Just checked the date we sailed on the Pearl it was April - May 2012, they still served afternoon tea in the restaurant then, but only on sea days. I first sailed on a P&O ship in 1963, they served afternoon tea at that time.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted March 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I have enjoyed afternoon tea in the dining room on P&O ships in the past. During our recent Princess cruise, we were discussing afternoon tea in the dining room and someone remarked that P&O don't do that anymore because not enough people went along to it. They said the last time they went to afternoon tea on a P&O ship they were the only people in the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that first time, never been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandielle Posted March 11, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Alas, it is no more. (Not that we went much - just once or twice to try it out. We couldn't eat dinner if we had afternoon tea. :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzaw Posted March 14, 2014 #20 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Never did understand this concept of "high tea" -- sounds and looks to me like simply an expensive cup of tea with a couple of small cakes and sandwiches thrown in. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
