Montana Posted May 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2014 April cruise did not have afternoon tea in the buffet area. I miss a few cookies and tea sandwiches. However, I did see the VIP lounge had these amenities. We were in a sky suite and not eligible for these amenities. I felt a little like a child outside of a candy shop with no money for entry.

Gig103 Posted May 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Sky suites aren't eligible for all suite amenities? Or you're saying you aren't "VIP" enough in a S2/S1? I would hope it was a fluke, I really like those afternoon treats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeaBag Posted May 15, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I am certain I saw it listed on the Celebrity Today on Solstice Honolulu - Vancouver, just ended. We never did go. Missed the Elegant Tea also as Liars Club was scheduled the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loracpin2 Posted May 15, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 15, 2014 There was afternoon tea on the March 30 Silhouette. Hate to admit I was there every day at 4:00 for a scone and whipped cream. I can't imagine that's gone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tn1728 Posted May 15, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Had scones, jam, whipped cream, mini sandwiches, and cookies every afternoon in the buffet on Century in late April. We did have access to Michael's Club, but never had afternoon tea there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had afternoon snacks, scones and sandwiches, on the Infinity in April. In the sky suites they bring them to your room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DebbieMacG Posted May 15, 2014 #14 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I've never seen clotted cream either. I've seen people call it clotted (on the same cruise) but it's not it's whipped :) So no drama, short comings, disasters, or calamities, afternoon tea IS still served with it's usual cream :D (Just pointing this out before someone posts that they will never sail X again and their life is ruined due to lack of cream) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotslizzy Posted May 15, 2014 #20 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I do not think cruise ships would have clotted cream but if you get the chance try it with your scones as it is soo much better that the cream on the ships. I may be wrong but as most cream has a short shelf life I always assumed that cruise ships could only use the more artificial stuff ? In saying that it does not stop me eating scones with cream on a cruise ! Scotslizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted May 15, 2014 #21 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) I am certain I saw it listed on the Celebrity Today on Solstice Honolulu - Vancouver, just ended. We never did go. Missed the Elegant Tea also as Liars Club was scheduled the same time. They didn't run Liar's club on the previous cruise Sydney - Honolulu. Is it only run depending on the cruise director? Afternoon tea time was 4-5 p.m on that cruise. Edited May 15, 2014 by The_Big_M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise_in_style Posted May 15, 2014 #23 Share Posted May 15, 2014 We've never seen clotted cream on Celebrity' date=' only whipped cream. While not traditional, it is very delicious![/quote'] You get clotted cream with the champagne tea in Murano. This is much more of an occasion than afternoon tea in the buffet; unfortunately it's $25 a head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberben Posted May 15, 2014 #24 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Do you have it Devon or Cornish style? a whole other debate :) As I live in the West Country in UK. I am afraid I have it cornish style. lol Husband from Dartmouth in Devon has it Devonshire way. Just think it is a matter of which way you like best.!

rubydoobydoo Posted May 15, 2014 #25 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have to eat a scone with the jam on first then the cream on top :D Most people I know say it should be the other way round lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
