kmw350 Posted May 17 #1 Share Posted May 17 I watched a review of the maiden voyage and was underwhelmed to see Rich Tea biscuits (and ONLY Rich Tea biscuits) on offer in the cheese selection, main dining room. They improved this on the second night by adding a Ryvita! Really? On a 5 star cruise ship? Is this the level I must expect? I'd better lay off the Rich Teas till I go on my cruise later this year, so that I might appreciate them. Is there any chance this was just an oversight or supply hiccup?

exlondoner Posted May 17 #2 Share Posted May 17 I would assume it is a hiccup, but, if it is very important to you, I would transfer to another ship, because who knows? There is no All bran for breakfast, or, if it is on board, they haven’t found it yet. My husband, who likes, it, is coping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Boy Posted May 17 #3 Share Posted May 17 Take no 'blooming notice' of these You Tube freeloaders . it was probably all that was left after offering to other guests on the 'surrounding tables' Often happens with the bread rolls or a variety of the cheese biscuits. All she had to do was request for water biscuits etc . Certainly plenty of variety across the restaurants . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmw350 Posted May 17 Author #4 Share Posted May 17 Haha, it's not actually about the Rich Tea, but I think it's fair to expect a slightly better selection of crackers on a cheese board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmw350 Posted May 17 Author #5 Share Posted May 17 Thank you @Bell Boy, that sounds likely, I won't start packing the Jacobs selection just yet :) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare elmsliebev Posted May 17 #6 Share Posted May 17 Following on from the critical biscuit choice - is crystalised ginger available after dinner? I almost always went for that instead of any sort of chocolate petit fours on my last Cunard cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MylesS Posted May 17 #7 Share Posted May 17 "Can I offer you a glass of port with your cheese, sir?" Yes please, and a cup of tea for the biscuits as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t for the first couple of nights, but it must have been found and unpacked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had exactly that selection on the Cruise to Nowhere post Covid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted May 18 #11 Share Posted May 18 I think what they should have provided is Digestives; quite suitable and one I like with some cheeses. Rich Tea not so much, somehow totally unsuitable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare david63 Posted May 18 #13 Share Posted May 18 I was always of the understanding that any biscuit with cheese is merely a vehicle to get the cheese from the plate to the mouth and as such should not affect the taste/flavour of the cheese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowandaUK Posted May 18 #14 Share Posted May 18 We have had a good and varied selection of crackers and biscuits with our cheese board. We once had a digestive but no rich tea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
