Queen Elizabeth - afternoon tea on embarkation day?

[Mr and Mrs A]

Is afternoon tea served on embarkation day?

[Winifred 22]

No sadly.

On the current Med voyages, afternoon tea is served on embarkation day

I think you will find that on at a virtually 100% turnaround port like Southampton and New York, the answer is no. However, on voyages with many embarkation ports and few passengers leaving, afternoon is often available.

I’m sure it wasn’t offered in Barcelona on 9 October. Indeed, our muster station was the Queen’s Room, and along with others who embarked that day we were required to attend there at 4 pm. But scones etc were available in the Lido, as they are every day.

We boarded 2 weeks earlier than you and had afternoon tea in the Queens room, it started at 3pm. Think it was offered the following Monday as well. Maybe due to the fact there was less turnaround of passengers.
