Afternoon Tea on The Queen Victoria

Handsome husband and I experienced this afternoon tea on our honeymoon whilst sailing with Cunard on the Queen Victoria, it was one of the many highlights.
As afternoon tea's go this has to be one of the best. We sat down at our reserved table at 15:30 and were offered a glass of Rose Veuve Clicquot Champagne. This went down very well and I could have easily gone for another, however shortly after we given a gorgeous mousse and a fresh strawberry tart which looked mouthwatering and tasted fantastic. We were then presented with the range of Twinnings Rituals Teas. We went for the Jasmine tea and watched the egg timer eagerly for it to brew accordingly which was explained thoroughly to us by our waiter. Next came the food platter with a selection of three sandwiches each filled with seafood, beef and cream cheese and salmon - what isn't pictured is the fact that these sandwiches were topped up continually, well until we said no more anyway! These were accompanied by delicious warm scones, plain and cinnamon which we coated with Jam and Cream or if handsome husband was writing this Cream and Jam - an ongoing debate. The delicate pastries that came next we couldn't actually finish as you can imagine!
If you get the chance to do this one it's afternoon tea at its finest.
