Tea Tower Questions (Regal)

[abisha]

Leaving in 2 weeks for the Regal and wondering what the Tea Tower is all about. Where is it located, how does it work and is there a fee? I'm a tea drinker, so I'm very interested in trying it.

I can provide information based on my experience on the Royal.

 

The Tea Tower sits in front of the coffee bar area at the International Cafe in the Piazza (deck 5). The cost is $2.75 plus gratuity.

 

Also, I was told that this tea was not able to be paid for with a coffee card punch.

Do you just go up to it on your own and service yourself and slide your ship card in something? Or do you have to ask for a crew member to assist you? Just wondering how it works. thanks

You have to ask for assistance.

Not the clearest photo but this is the Tea Tower on the Regal. The international Cafe is in the background on the right side of the photo.

Thanks for asking and thanks for posting that photo. DW is a tea drinker and she is going to love this. :)

This looks very intriguing! Do they have it on the Ruby? How does it work? Do you just choose your tea & they make you a cup?

 

Thanks

Only the Royal and Regal have the Tea Tower. There is something similar in Leaves Tea Lounge on the Grand. Don't know how it works. We have been on the Grand and the Regal but never took a try.

When I was on the Royal I was able to use my coffee card to get the tea from the towers. They punched my card to pay for it.

I wish they would have some written explanation of how it works posted with the Tea Towers. I have wanted to try the tea also but haven't been able to figure out how you're supposed to do it. It's one of those areas where Princess could do a better job of communicating.
