Rare karatemom2 Posted July 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I just read through another thread that said they weren't offering afternoon tea in the dining room anymore? It didn't seem to appear on the Patter the poster shared. I'm just wondering for those who have cruised recently if this is an actual new change that has been implemented, or are you all still finding that tea is offered at 3:30 every day, or at least every sea day? I will be disappointed if Princess drops this tradition as it is one of the things I really enjoy. I am assuming as an Elite passenger, i can still order it to my stateroom, but I like going and having it in the dining room with the waiters poring and bringing around the different selections and warm scones. I hope this isn't another victim of cost cutting - so please tell me I will still find it on our upcoming Sky Princess cruise in September! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare karatemom2 Posted July 13, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Thanks for the updates. I can live with sea days only - makes total sense, I can't imagine many people are going on port days. It's a tradition I hope Princess never eliminates.

curlygirlygirl Posted July 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I just looked up afternoon tea on the app and it says it has reached capacity for every single offering date on my upcoming cruise. Do they take walk ups? I haven’t cruised in 12 years and had no idea this is how experiences on the ship were booked 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a special upcharged activity that is offered on certain ships a couple of times per cruise and it has limited seating and an extra fee so I would imagine it might book up. Afternoon tea in the dining room is always free and does not require reservations. It is strictly walk in. So you will still be able to go to that tea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may even see events in the Piazza reach capacity on the App, it doesn’t actually mean anything. Edited July 13, 2023 by Jadn13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted July 14, 2023 #10 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Afternoon tea in the MDR was offered every sea day on the Caribbean Princess last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
