Would be tough to pick out which kind. Here are some photos of it. They choose the tea for each course, not you, but they were great. This was back in 2017 so things might have changed..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the pictures. Am definitely going to try the next time I sail Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Held once during the week on the Royal Class ships only. It was a $10pp charge but well worth it. Not sure if they are still doing it since covid.

I can't stand flavoured teas and always drink 'gumboot' tea aka very strong English breakfast tea. And is the tea made with boiling water??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Princess was dinged for not having really ht water. I think that has improved. Not sure since I am not a tea drinker. You can always bring a tea bag from the buffet and ask for hot-hot water. Or bring your own tea bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the Royal Tea on the Regal back in April 2018 and I know that it was more than $10pp at that time, though I'm not sure what the price is now. We were seated in the Piazza in the elevated booth area and there were about nine of us in my group. Delicious! In 2019, I attempted to do this again with some friends on the Royal, but we were told there wasn't enough interest from people on the ship to justify holding a session for us to attend. I imagine this would've been much like if not enough people signed up for the ship to do a Chef's Table. Post-restart, I have inquired about doing this again or putting my name on a list to express interest, but I was told that they hadn't started doing it again. Hopefully this has changed! Of note, the Princess website says the Royal Tea is only held on the Royal, Regal, Enchanted, Sky, and Diamond Princess ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Over from NZ Posted September 1, 2023 #33 Share Posted September 1, 2023 They're a poor excuse for a scone! 🙂 They're more like some sort of biscuit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coo359a2 Posted September 1, 2023 #34 Share Posted September 1, 2023 We didn't see this on the Regal in March 2023 or June/July 2023 on the Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
