murphyis1 Posted January 25, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Does the Westerdam have an area for 24 hour self service tea? Just a cup of tea, not the "high tea" served in the afternoon. I know I can always use room service, but are there other options when the dining room and Lido are closed? Thanks to all who reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2B@C Posted January 25, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I can't swear not, but I don't think so. The Lido is open for self-serve coffee a lot of the time, and I assume that would include tea, but I don't think it's 24 hours. Suggestion: Bring a good thermos. If you think you may want tea at times when the Lido is closed, fill the thermos with hot water and take a teabag and a cup to your cabin. Voila - problem solved. Okay, maybe not ideal for the true tea afficionado, as the water will be a little cooler than ideal, but not TOO bad as a last resort. Hope that helps. I hope the absence of 24-hour tea would not cause you to forego a Westerdam cruise - she's a lovely ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fblack Posted January 25, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yes. There is hot water for tea and a large assortment of tea available all day in the buffet area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted January 25, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2008 The Lido is open 24 hours - always coffee (and decaf) and hot water plus a good selection of teabags - their own blend as well as a variety of Twinings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2B@C Posted January 25, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I stand corrected (well, actually, I'm sitting down, but you get the point). I admit, I wasn't posting from experience - I've been on Westerdam, but never up late enough to check whether the Lido was open 24 hours - too eager to get into that comfy bed and be rocked to sleep by the ocean. Moral: Never think you know everything - and never underestimate the degree of pampering you get on a HAL cruise! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphyis1 Posted January 25, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I didn't realize the Lido was open 24 hours. This will be our first HAL cruise, and we're really looking foward to it! Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
