Daily afternoon teatime on the Crystal Symphony is held in one of the loveliest rooms on the cruise ship--the Palm Court. The Palm Court is furnished with both rattan furniture and overstuffed chairs and is surrounded by huge picture windows. I love tea, and the tea on the Crystal Symphony was some of the best I have ever tasted. The tea leaves were served in special silk bags. The teatime also includes delicious sweets and fancy sandwiches accompanied by live music. Some of the passengers enjoyed teatime dancing to the music, while the rest of us happily munched on the delicious treats and sipped our tea. Very elegant and enjoyable!
