cflutist Posted June 6, 2018 #26 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I think you have to be present. They won't even deliver the complimentary plate of canapes if you are not there. Not true, we have come back many times to our suite with the nightly canapes waiting for us (we like the profiteroles). We have hosted Afternoon tea twice now in our suites for our CC Rollcall group. I called a day early with the head count. Way too much food, they even bring an extra table for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting--we came back to our suite on the Caribbean Princess in April 2018 to find a note that said they were unable to deliver the canapes because no one was there, and to please call for delivery. And yes, it was profiteroles night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted June 6, 2018 #28 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I have had my suite, elite and TA plates of canapés delivered without being in the cabin quite often. I actually had to jump through hoops to have them not automatically deliver them on this last sailing on the first night because we never eat them and always come back to the cabin to find them sitting there. It's usually sometime between muster and dinner when they would deliver them. Since they took away the chocolate covered strawberries, I usually don't bother any longer. We did have the tea delivered once without being in the cabin a few years ago which I wasn't thrilled about because they delivered it early and the tea was lukewarm by the time we got there. It was the only time we have had it delivered to our stateroom because of that and because we usually have it up in the Sanctuary anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky you... Did you have to sign for your canapes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted June 7, 2018 #30 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Did you have to sign for your canapes? We never have had to. (And we usually have them delivered while we are out of the cabin.) Since there is no charge, there is no need to sign for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlutePrayer Posted August 30 #31 Share Posted August 30 This thread is pre-COVID. Can anyone give an update on the availability of afternoon tea in a suite? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted August 30 #32 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Yes, I recently ordered tea for my suite. The day before No $5 charge (but I had Plus) I was specific in what I ordered and still Room Service got it wrong. I had ordered 2 hot water caraffes and 4 cups (only 2 cups showed up). I had ordered scones and a few other dishes (no scones) I had expected some tea sandwiches (none) You can not order this on the app. Be very specific with exactly what you want including tea bags, sugar, cream, clotted creme, jam, number of serving utensils/cups, etc. I felt bad that I had to have the person making the delivery "fix" the order and return. We had guests and it was pretty embarrassing. If you do not order specifics, there will be a lot of wasted food.

FlutePrayer Posted August 30 #33 Share Posted August 30 Thank you for your quick response. This is exactly the information I was hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ombud Posted August 30 #34 Share Posted August 30 My recent ones do not vary by much EXCEPT that one time 6/11/23 when they gave me enough to feed several rooms. And no, it's an Elite & Suite perk. There's no RS phone call charge for perks (exchanging mini bar or ordering tea). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted August 30 #36 Share Posted August 30 @Ombud Your plating was much prettier and functional than anything I have ever ordered. And yes, too much food for anyone sitting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, too much food for anyone sitting. I specifically request vegetarian only. So I just got a little .... it's still enough. That middle picture is how the waiter set it up from 4 (yes 4) covered platters. It would've been tea, dinner, and breakfast. I prefer just 1 plate but they prefer 4 covered platters so I don't let 2 into the room (sandwiches & plain cookies). I also refuse formal night canapés unless they're chocolate covered strawberries but they haven't had those in a year Edited August 31 by Ombud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted August 31 #40 Share Posted August 31 I receive the chocolate strawberries on formal nights (even without requesting them). On the Europe cruise, the strawberries were so tiny. Must be a local supply thing. And yes, you can order tea as a suite perk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpacaBag Posted August 31 #41 Share Posted August 31 If you are not elite and not in a suite, you can't order and just pay for it, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
