Afternoon tea?

We will be on the NCL Joy in May 2024 (in port mid-week), and are wondering if anyone can recommend a hotel or restaurant offering an afternoon tea? Sometimes called high tea, with the tray of goodies and a pot of tea. This is the pic from the last one we went to, and I'm hoping to find something similar. Thanks!

We've done the afternoon tea at both the Hamilton Princess as well as the Rosewood. The Hamilton Princess is the more traditional of the two with the tiered sandwiches and pastries etc. The Rosewood is a little more of a modern rendition. Both are good but if you are looking for something traditional I would do the Hamilton Princess.

Afternoon tea and high tea are two completely different things. Afternoon tea is what you are describing.

 

High tea is a traditionally working class supper with meats, fish, etc that was usually eaten standing up after a day of labor.

I can't give it a complete review, because our cruise last month to Bermuda was re-routed to the Bahamas due to a hurricane, but we had a reservation at Sweet P at the Perfumery in St. George. They offer tea on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

 

Arrangements were easily made via email and Paula was pleasant to deal with, including when we had to cancel. We are looking to book another cruise to Bermuda and will be making another reservation.
