sfpd3000 Posted June 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2019 As recently as last year when we were on the Coral, there were green tea bags readily available in Horizon Court. When we were on the Ruby last month, all the other tea bags were placed out, but the green tea bags were not. We had to ask specifically for them. Just wondering if this is cruiseline wide, or if it is ship-specific or just cruise-specific (ours was a 5 day repositioning cruise).

neverbeenhere Posted June 4, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Green tea has been available in the buffet on all of our Princess cruises. Even I drink the stuff once in a while. (So, I guess I shouldn't say all, as some of them were a number of years ago and i can't swear that we had green tea on those cruises) Edited June 4, 2019 by neverbeenhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltd Posted June 4, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) We have had problems for years with green tea. It seems to be very popular and the ship seems to run out before the cruise is over. I think when the tea is put out people hoard them. Edited June 4, 2019 by waltd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissP22 Posted June 4, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 4, 2019 It has to do with certain nationalities who prefer green tea as their drink of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And I suspect I'm a member of such nationality 😃) We found that the green tea would run out come evening but upon asking the waiters, they'd readily bring more out.

pris993 Posted June 5, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 5, 2019 This reminds me, when we were on Cunard, there was a run on lemon herb tea... decided there must have been lots of folks with colds on board... LOL Tea is easy to bring with you... it is important that is what I would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep them stored out of sight otherwise they would run out before the end of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver2014 Posted June 5, 2019 #8 Share Posted June 5, 2019 We’re on Crown Princess right now and there were Green Tea bags in Horizon Court every day. They even had my favorite Plantation Mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErLee Posted June 26, 2019 #10 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Plenty of green tea available on Coral a couple weeks ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted June 26, 2019 #11 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Mrs Gut has always found it, but now days just takes her own. (She prefers ginger and hasn’t found it on any ship so far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heddyjan Posted July 28, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I’ve seen people stuffing green tea bags into their bags and pockets. It is a problem on cruises where there are certain nationalities. Ask staff for them and they produce them out of a hiding place. Easier to just bring your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always grab a few extra as you never know if & when they'll run out. We once were on a 10 day trip & 1/2 way through the supply was depleted.
