Every ship will have an area where you walk up and they give you a small plate. A taste if you will. You can get more then one. Check your fun times and they will tell you when it's happening.

 

My review at the bottom has a couple pics of what I got there.

On the Liberty, it's a station on Deck 5 Promenade near the casino and coffee shop. You just walk up to the station and a staff member behind the counter will hand you a small plate of that day's samplings. There is usually a menu nearby describing the dish. You can walk up and get as many samples as you wish.

 

Check out here for an idea of the menu and pics

Thanks so much for posting these pics. I've never heard of the taste bar. I can't wait to try it. Is is on all the ships? I'm sailing on the Breeze in September.

The Breeze definitely has it already. This is the schedule according to the website. Not sure how accurate it is:

I think it is silly. I've seen it and I don't understand the desire to stand in a line in the middle of an already crowded area (often by the casino where everyone walks through photographers, singers, shops and trivia games) just to get a bite of food. I will go to the buffet or MDR when I want to eat, but to each his own. Glad someone enjoys it. At least it doesn't stink like the Sushi station.

There was no line and no crowd on our sailing. Not on any day. There were two people working the taste bar and it takes about 5 seconds to plate the samples. Never a line. Also didn't think the sushi station stunk. So yes, to each his or her own.

Just for your info - when we were on the Breeze, both times the taste bar offered a small hot/cold breakfast buffet each morning. Was a nice place to go to beat the buffet crowds. Plenty to eat, and a nice choice. At lunchtime they made it into a salad bar, where you could pick your ingredients and dressing and they would mix up a nice fresh salad for you. Was a nice healthy option (except for the dressings) if that is what you want. Had a great spread of veggies to pick from, also!

We enjoyed the taste bar on the Sensation every night last week. It was always from 5:30-8:00pm on the Promenade Deck. You can have more than one serving. And the last night they had a $5 taste bar drink special. I enjoyed it!

 

Is this where the susi bar used to be?

I just hate that they always have these type things during my dinner time. 3:00-5:00 would be great.

 

It says grab a quick sample before your meal, so I have a 6:00 seat time I will just try to be down there by 5:30 to try a sample...

We wont miss the sushi bar, the only times we used it was walking past and stop to get some shrimp, no sushi, just the cold shrimp and sauce.

 

They always looked at us like we were strange for not wanting the other things.

 

oh yea, and when we borrowed a few plates when we were on the Dream, they had these really cool looking plates, our son now has a set of 8 that accidently got lost in our luggage.

Sorry, I found that HYSTERICAL. A 'platter'?! It was a TEENY TINY CUP, paper or disposable I think! It was something pork advertising their pay steakhouse. Ew. I don't eat pork. I never went back. A paper cup of pork does NOT make up for a missing sushi bar!!! :mad:

 

Oh princess. It's not a teeny tiny cup. It is served on an actual plate.

It's very good. Far better then the sad California roll they used to give you.

 

There are more pictures at the bottom when you click on my review.

Who cares if they sell those plates at any Macy's across the county. You paid for your cruise so you're entitled to them.

I don't know what was up with the guy we had. I remember him handing a lil cup to my husband. There was no plate. It was literally a TASTE.
