CASPALL Posted October 17, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Good quality teabags -They always do 2 cups. Can't remember if it's Tetley or Typhoo.It's the one with the string squeeze if you know what I mean! I think the coffee is Nescafe decaff and ordinary. I always find that the water tastes funny though. Sometimes I use the bottled water (which I have bought ashore at 1/4 of the price!) Hope that helps!

supered Posted October 17, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2007 As part of the Elevation programme P&O are changing the tea to Twinings. I think this applies to cabins as well as to afternoon tea. Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CASPALL Posted October 19, 2007 #9 Share Posted October 19, 2007 To pot with that! Any extra room in my case is saved for champagne! It would be nice if there was a little pot on the tray though. Caryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_uk Posted October 19, 2007 #10 Share Posted October 19, 2007 You can't trust a southern tea-pot. I was in a hotel at Heathrow once, late at night, very tired, and decided to make a pot of tea before retiring. There was a stainless-steel tea-pot in the room. The kettle boiled and I poured the water into the pot, and kept pouring & pouring & pouring, and the d****d thing would not fill up. Then I noticed that the tea-pot was surrounded by a large and spreading pool of tea. It turned out that the highest point of the spout was below the top of the pot, so as you poured water in at the top, it happily came out of the spout....
