Good morning Joann and David, my aunt who is German moved to London with her husband many many years ago. One English tradition they embraced over the years was their afternoon tea. They also loved their scones. Thanks for a view into the British lifestyle. Hi from Bob and Jill in Connecticut
Hi Bob & Jill- thanks for sharing!😊 It's a nice (& tasty) tradition that we enjoy as well on the cruise lines that have it. On Celebrity they should have the scones in the afternoon snack buffet.
I love all your cruise videos. The food related ones are amazing. I love how you put a label on each food you show. Do you go to every venue for every meal every day??!!?? It sure seems like it. How in the world are you not 500 pounds. You are a beautiful family
Fun video! My friends have cruised Holland America for years and love it. I wish Royal did a served tea like this! Some ships have afternoon tea/snacks available, but only self serve. Looks like Holland offers a bit more in terms of service?
Thank you! 😊 I agree- I think many of the Royal guests would enjoy it, especially if it's a smaller ship. HAL does have really excellent service- kudos to their head hotel manager for sure.
Thank you! 😊 It was certainly quite an enjoyable afternoon snack time on HAL ships 😋 We were actually looking for something similar during our recent two Celebrity cruises (Apex & Millennium) but they didn't have it, so it might have been a victim of cutbacks.
I've recently started to watch your videos and it's very informative. Thank you. For afternoon tea, do you get to choose your own treats or is it a standard set? Asking because my daughter has nut allergies.
Our pleasure- glad they're helpful! 😊 Typically they'll just give you a standard set, but just let the host or the waiter know, and I'm fairly certain they'll make sure you get a set of pastries without nuts.
I really like this channel!! You give accurate reviews. However, the cutting of the sandwiches at afternoon tea is a no no!! And that is clotted or Devonshire cream not whipped. 😊
I love your videos. But was not impressed with tbe scone fillings offered. They should have a seperate cup of whipped cream (yes it's always whipped cream) served with another separate cup of stawberry jam....so that you can put on as much or as little as you please. They should never be served pre-filled like that! And where was the traditional jam? The sandwiches usually have their crust removed.....but this selection didn't have enough sandwiches. And where was the traditional cheese/cucumber or plain cucumber sandwhich?
Thank you very much! 😊 Yeah we were just happy that they have it since many other cruise lines don't. But yeah we're no expert but this afternoon tea is probably not the most traditional.
I am so excited about participating in the afternoon tea on our upcoming 10 day Caribbean cruise on the Rotterdam at the end of next month (March 2024)! 🙂
Great video! A very unusual way to eat a sandwich, even the Queen uses her fingers 😂 thanks for posting!
Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 😊
Eating afternoon tea with a knife and fork...ahhh!!! It's a finger food experience, traditional British style!!
And she keeps saying the scones have whipped cream, not clotted or Devonshire.
Some people don’t like touching their food. She probably wasn’t the only one using a fork and knife.
Sail Holland all the time. Never been to afternoon tea. After watching this I'll plan going on our next cruise
Happy to hear it- thanks for watching & commenting!

Yeah afternoon tea was quite enjoyable! Have a great time on your HAL Caribbean cruise! 🙂
I love afternoon tea on Princess and Holland America cruises. Those treats looked so good. Thanks for sharing!
We quite enjoy it as well! Thanks for the comment 😊
Nice to see you guys back cruising and enjoying high tea.
Happy to be back! Thanks for the comment! 😊
Afternoon tea not high tea
Thank you! We’ve always wondered about their tea service. Looking forward to trying on the Westerdam next week. Great video!
Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 😊Have a great time on the Westerdam- going to be a lot of good food!
Another great video! Nice job! The food taster is so much fun and helpful too! Ummmm!
Thank you so much 😊 Glad it's helpful!

Afternoon delights 😊😊💕🇹🇹
Some yummy treats 😋
CUNARD have the best afternoon tea! And live classical music.
Yes they had really great scones especially! 😋
That looked like fun and delicious. We have never gone before but now we don't want to miss it. Lol
It was! Give it a try next time! Thanks for the comment! 😊
Looked really good. My daughter and I would love this. Thanks again.

Thank you so much! 😊 We try to go to many different venues but sometimes just to see what's there for the videos since we've already eaten enough lol.

Another enjoyable video. I've been to high tea on Celebrity Reflection. Looking forward to this on Koningsdam soon. ☕🍰

Afternoon tea would be fun in a group! Save some room for dinner!
Very fun for sure- you can hear all the guests have a good time chatting away.
@@TravelTouristVideos Yes, you sure can!
Love your videos....keep them coming!!!!!😍😍
Thank you so much! 😊 Will do!

Nice video. Do they bring out a standard set of munchies, or do you order the items?
Thank you! Yup they just bring out a standard selection, but you can request more of a specific snacks if you'd like.
Is afternoon tea included?
It sure is. All the food you see from our HAL videos are complimentary.
I really like this channel!! You give accurate reviews. However, the cutting of the sandwiches at afternoon tea is a no no!! And that is clotted or Devonshire cream not whipped. 😊
Thank you so much! 😊 And appreciate the feedback on the sandwich & of course the proper name for that cream as well!
@@TravelTouristVideos You’re very welcome and happy travels ahead!!
@@Thejewel63 Thanks! You too! 🙂
Hello! We'll be cruising later this year. Was there an option for any herbal/caffeine-free/tisane teas available?
Hi! Yes you sure can ask for mint or chamomile no problem.
They give you all that stuff to eat? I’d be worried that I couldn’t eat everything!
I know right- a lot of great food choices for sure 😋
Good morning, how are you doing, l so fascinated the way all dishes and items on the line are tag on the video. Kudos gay.
Thanks for watching & commenting!

Why eat a sandwich with a knife and fork!?
Who cares?
Why!!!! Knife and fork with a sandwich etc etc 🙄🙄🤔
