Mobe Posted November 14, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2016 We are cruising in May on the Breeze. I haven't been on a cruise in over 10 years and I can't remember what the drink situation is as far as iced tea. My husband drinks tea like crazy. Is there a charge for it like soda? Is it readily available on the boat? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierAUEagle Posted November 14, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Unsweetened iced tea available and free at the buffet. You can also get it in the main dining room. It's not very good (in my opinion) but mixes well with the also free lemonade. If you really care about quality, there are (I believe Lipton) tea bags and hot water available to brew your own. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted November 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I brew my own. (Dissolve sweetener in a bit of hot water then fill mug with more) Brew two bags in a mug. When dark, pour over a full cup of ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean1000 Posted November 14, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The iced tea on lido leaves a lot to be desired. If i have it, I'll mix it with the lemonade. Mostly, I just have lemonade. You can brew your own, but all they have is Lipton, and that is not much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maldenmusic Posted November 15, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 15, 2016 The tea isn't all that great but if you put enough lemonade in it, it's decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea to brew your own tea. I will have to do that when we cruise next March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradUT Posted November 15, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I guess I'm not a "tea snob" because I find the iced tea on Carnival to be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyfrazee Posted November 15, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Tea...iced or hot, is totally included...there is no charge for any tea. He can drink all day, every day! Wrong. They still have the free nasty tea on Lido but they started charging for the specialty teas. I don't remember the cost but it seems like a dollar or so per tea bag.

GoGoJules Posted November 15, 2016 #13 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Are specialty teas covered by the Cheers package? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&Jfamily Posted November 15, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 15, 2016 If he drinks a lot, I suggest you take along a large travel mug; the cups in the lido are small (8-12oz) an don't hold much once you put some ice in. And if he ends up brewing his own (the one from the machine tastes like bottled tea - yuck) he has a lot more room to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be bringing my own jar of Nestea instant tea to make my own tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlanoDebbie Posted November 17, 2016 #21 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I'm not a fan of any form of instant tea. I usually ask for a pot of hot water and tea bags to brew my own and pour it over a glass of ice. This is how I made it in the cafeteria back in college. I'm fine with Lipton tea bags.

Desiree D Posted November 17, 2016 #23 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Just got off the Breeze Sunday. I took Cold Brew Tea bags (and bubba cups), which work well. I am very picky about tea, and the tea in the buffet (lido) wasn't as bad as I had remembered. Tea in the dinning room is good, though. At tea time on sea day, I asked for Iced tea. I like plain, unsweetened, fresh tea! Lipton Cold Brew tea bags-is good, and spoiled me from the brewing, right now, feeling pretty lazy after a GREAT (too short) cruise, last week!

peajay84 Posted November 17, 2016 #24 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I'm not a fan of any form of instant tea. Most people aren't which is why I don't consider myself a "tea snob". :D I grew up on Nestea Instant and still drink it daily. I don't like Lipton Instant but I do like Lipton bagged tea for brewing as long as it isn't brewed or stored in a plastic dispenser. It pick up the taste of stale plastic if made that way. My preferred hot tea is that which is brewed as loose leaf tea. But I still don't consider myself a "snob", just picky. Others can drink whatever they like, and I'll stick with what I like. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
