I'm in the minority here, but the Royal Tea was one of my favorite events of the whole cruise and it was more than worth it to watch my 3yo.
Also, the "tea" they serve the kids is just apple juice. They just serve it in teacups.
The gifts are probably worth well over $100 retail value- jewelry box, bracelet, necklace, doll, and autograph book and pen.
Although we have no need for a second set of the same gifts, we will most likely book it again on our January '18 cruise because it was so magical.

Royal Court Tea Party
in Disney Cruise Line
Posted
I think if you're trying to compare this experience to a traditional tea service, you aren't going to be happy from the start. The food and tea involved are not the focus of the event- at all. It's not a $210 lunch, it's more like a $210 "very light snack." The quality of the food was horrible by Disney standards- one thing they served was a few shreds of grated cheese stuck between two pieces of bread. The only food most of the kids were interested in was the princess cupcake they each got, and I really couldn't blame them because the food was so underwhelming.
Despite the fact that the only thing my dd ate was a cupcake, we will still go again. I didn't pay $210 for the food and tea, I paid for the experience (specifically the princess experience, not a traditional tea experience). Meeting the princesses and getting a few minutes of one-on-one time with each of them was absolutely magical and worth every penny IMO.
