Afternoon Tea on DCL?

[mevelandry]

Hi!

No, I am not from England... but since I have tried it at the Grand Floridian in April, I am obsessed with Afternoon Tea. Which makes me ask the following question:

Is there anything like it on DCL... Or can we find great selections of tea on the ships... Do they have fresh scones somewhere? Cove Café maybe?

How can I fill my needs of Afternoon Teas on Disney Cruise Line? Please? I am desperate.

DCL used to offer High Tea at Palo's, but stopped that a couple of years ago. While hot tea is available at the beverage station 24/7, you might find more variety at Cove Cafe. I believe there's a picture of the selection floating around here somewhere.

Enjoy your cruise!

I just noticed that the selection at Cove Café is very interesting ... but is it just for 1 cup or do you get the tea pot?

And I would love to know what kind of teas are offered "free"? If anybody knows!

Thanks in advance!

Wish they did....love it on other cruise lines.

HAL had a very nice one....no extra cost, waiters in suits wearing white gloves bringing around silver trays of goodies. Loved it
Miss the one DCL used it have. It was very nice.

I wish DCL had them...

Anybody knows if they have interesting stuff in room service? I've checked the menu but I did not see tea.

They did used to have Afternoon Tea in Palo but, as mentioned, they ended it a few years ago. It was nice. We had gone a few times. It was only $5.00 at one point. I believe they took it away to accommodate for more brunch times in Palo.

I want to try to score a brunch in Palo. I wonder if they have tea? They sure have appetizers and desserts.

This post is a little bit older, but does include some information about tea on the ships.

They absolutely have tea and it comes in a small pot. Our server told us they just got new teapots when I said how cute it was.

The tea served onboard is usually Twinings. They came around with a box of various teas for selection.

Hmmmm. Not the biggest fan of Twinings... But I'm sure I did not try them all. I'll give it a chance. Can't wait to see the tea pots!!!

Twinings Christmas is my all time favorite tea.....I stock up on it during WDW visits.
I want to see the tea pots too.....any pictures?

 

[mevelandry]

I wish they had Davidstea. I'm obsessed with them.

I would love to see the tea pots as well.

This thread (http://www.disboards.com/threads/tea-question.3396099/#post-53367028) has pictures of the tea selections -- I assume at the beverage station and the Cove Cafe. I don't know if Palo has anything different.

Enjoy your cruise!

Good to know about the box of teas. I love iced tea (unsweetened) but I can't stand the instant stuff that comes out of the dispensers. I'm happy if I can make some real tea and then add ice.

We had a lovely tea in Palo several years ago in Alaska. It's such a shame they don't offer it anymore.

Funny. I actually replied on this thread (and managed to talk about David once again LOL).

I think I'll improvise afternoon tea at Palo and Cove Café.

I believe the iced tea in the MDRs is brewed.

Not impressed with that selection.....I will have to go with the English breakfast....or bring my own bags. I might just do that.
I do not do herbal tea.....when I drink tea I want caffeine.

Any chance of the Afternoon Tea being offered on any of the longer specialty cruises? We'd hoped to see it on our TA next year.

Its not been offered on any of the TA's since they removed it from Palo I'm afraid.
