Curly-Q Posted May 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Princess Cruises provides complimentary in-suite afternoon tea service for full suite guests, upon request. I love having afternoon tea and have enjoyed in-suite tea service on Celebrity. However, this will be our first Princess cruise and a TA, what can I expect for in-suite afternoon tea--scones & cream, sandwiches, etc? Where/when do I make the request and is there a certain time frame when it's offered since this may effect what time we choose for evening dining. Thanks!

brianlojeck Posted May 18, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) I seem to recall you make the request in the morning (by phone to room service?) and get tea in the afternoon. The time is set to whatever time tea is served in the MDR. It's wonderful, and they give you the full spread, with enough food for 4 people.

IECalCruiser Posted May 18, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2016 We had four people and there was still too much food. You will be brought a selection of sandwiches, scones with cream and jam and sweets. The food and tea is brought all at one time and set on a table, either the cocktail table or you could have it on your balcony table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted May 18, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2016 This is from the Sanctuary but it shows the variety of goodies (minus the scones) included in afternoon tea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted May 18, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I was a guess one time for tea in my friend's suite it was very nice. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted May 19, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 19, 2016 This was from an Elite team delivery so I suspect in a suite it would be presented more elegantly, but I think the items are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredie Posted May 19, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 19, 2016 This was from an Elite team delivery so I suspect in a suite it would be presented more elegantly, but I think the items are the same. So the tea comes in the form of hot water and tea bags and not brewed as in the tea service dining room? I still haven't done the Elite tea service, but we'll be doing another TA next summer, so I definitely will do it then (if not before.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WupperAV Posted May 19, 2016 #9 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Curly-Q, could you put up an Avitar so we know who you are. My wife goes by Curlyque so it would help extinguish you. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't done the Elite tea service, but we'll be doing another TA next summer, so I definitely will do it then (if not before.) We had tea bags both times. I like it because they included decaf teas but it's a lot of waste. They can't reuse the unused tea bags. I think we still have some in the pantry. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suite tea service isn't presented more elegantly than the Elite tea service. Edited May 19, 2016 by IECalCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted May 19, 2016 #14 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I was just reading about this a few days ago and I believe it said to order afternoon tea 6 hours in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Yoda Posted May 19, 2016 #15 Share Posted May 19, 2016 If you tell them there will be 4 it will be twice as much food as pictured above. More than you and 10 of your best friends can eat. The room service lead will visit/call ahead of time to ask your preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
