floridacruiser63 Posted May 5, 2008 #26 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Do any Carnival ships offer afternoon tea? In particular I was wondering about the Freedom.... Thanks in advance. We came back from a 7 day on the Freedom last month and YES they do offer tea time, held at the Havana Bar on Sea days only.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGrady Posted May 5, 2008 #27 Share Posted May 5, 2008 If afternoon tea is held in the cigar bar on the Liberty, I'm guessing it's the same on the Freedom? Is the Cigar Bar really smoky? That could keep me from attending....:( The cigar bar on Glory wasn't always smoky. Though it was usually smoky. Before dinner when the place was really full, it was like a forest fire in there. Even when no one was smoking, it still had that smell. It doesn't bother me, but it does some folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quench Posted May 6, 2008 #28 Share Posted May 6, 2008 How does this work, do you serve yourself or they have waiters who serve the tea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacruizer Posted May 6, 2008 #29 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I'm a "serious" tea drinker, so I usually don't even drink tea when I travel because you don't have access to BOILING water. Pouring lukewarm water over a tea bag just doesn't do it. And when I ask for milk, not cream, I end up waiting 20 minutes before I can have my tea anyway. We do go to tea, though, just because we can. :D And don't get me started on Carnival changing to plastic mugs in the buffet! I even complained about that when I wrote to them after my Miracle cruise. I had planned on driving to my next cruises and was going to take a mug so I at least wouldn't have to put up with the plastic, but ended up booking a flight last week. I suppose if I went to the coffee bar and asked for a mug they would give me one. Or I could just order room service as soon as we board and then lock the cup in the safe so the steward doesn't "clean up" after me! :p Oooh - I hated those plastic mugs, too!!! They just won't keep anything hot! I was really excited when I discovered the Liberty buffet had real ceramic mugs. My DH thought I was crazy - but he's not a coffee or tea drinker. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
