We went (myself and 2 DD ages 8 & 10). They do not serve tea, only iced tea and a cookie. It was nice, but for my kids who have been to a formal tea, it was not what we were expecting. Wendy comes around to all of the tables and you can get a good picture. Does not take long and is on a sea day, so book it if you can. No cost, but you have to get tickets at guest services, it that hasn't changed. Look at your navigator when you first get on the ship. If you want any other specifics, pm me.
