No idea, probably yes, but we drink it without milk. The tea in the restaurants and lounges needs to be turned into builders tea to be drinkable 

what is builders tea?

what about coffee brand?

I am on the west coast of the US also so we should keep correspondence over this., I am very curious about your trip!!

There was Dilmah tea in August of 2022. It had a plastic taste to me. We actually purchased some cheap tea at a grocery store in Poland for the rest of the cruise.

 

I have had better tasting Dilmah tea in hotels, so maybe the tea onboard had just sat too long during the shutdown? 

i will bring some constant comment in case 😅

we have had that issue at work i am workspace management and alot of coffee and other products sat there

I booked online with Havila and also spoke to two different people in their main office in Norway to get my cabin assigned to the one I preferred.  I asked the staff about travel agents they work with here in the USA and he told me they do work with several agents, but the agencies are vetted by Havila before having a booking relationship.  Apparently not any agent can book them unless they have this preapproval with Havila.

 

I'm so excited for this trip after my 2020 Norway cancellation! 

 

Tussen takk to everyone who is posting about their experiences.  🙂

@oakridgerHow was your experience booking? i was originally planning to just go via the website? I do not have a prefernce on cabin but does that matter? When is your trip??

im sure this has been posted. but what brand of tea and coffee does Viking use

Hi Jim

QUick question what brand of coffee and tea are on board?

i apricate all the feed back! 

Hi Jim! Did you look at Viking? My mother expressed intrest in this cruise and I am doing research for her. 

silly question but what tea brand do they have? Coffee also? How was the food service. i understand they use small portions to redeuce waste.

Was the gym space croweded?

thank you for the clarification. so it could be very full or a lot of sea days as i understand it?

Silly question but did you notice what brand of tea and coffee they serve? 

what is the itinery 

this looks incredible 🙂

reserutcint a year later. is the tea still gone?

thanks i am also under 40 and am intrigued by this line. What was the ships demographics?

You are absolutely right about the itineraries! I'm just one of those odd ducks who cares more about the ship and the water than the port. I didn't even get off the boat on my cruise last week! I'm under 40, but I'm definitely not attracted to "young people" things. I'd probably do well on one of Regent's larger boats, so maybe I'll try them out in the future. Regardless of whether Ponant is on par with French/European standards of service, being mostly ignored even when I was trying to speak French with them just isn't going to cut it for me.

 

I truly believe there is a cruise line and a ship that's perfect for anyone who wants to be at sea. What a rough life we all lead to have to "struggle" with these tough, tough choices about which cruise line to sail..

what brand of tea do they use>

The Radiance just came out of a extensive refit and will have alot of the latest ship cosemtic and resturant trends, Panomrama is newer but does not have all the latest fit. 

Has anyone traveled with them? i am looking for un-biased reviews.

This ship looks incredible. Ponant is also doing something simiar. 

how do the excursions or time in the city work? as I read through things it does not seem like alot of time in port? 

ALso thoughts on doing just segements of the trips? I would be open to summer as well,

LOL. that would go well on the nice big aft*

thank you all so much!

I read somewhere about a special pastery they would give in panama?

Also anyone experience the indoensian or royal dutch tea?

anyone know where i can find high rez renders of the ship and interior?
