love2traveljen Posted November 4, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Does anyone know when the new chefs table will roll out? We are on the splendor for the New Years cruise, and have had the same chefs table menu the passed two years. We will do it again this year if it's changed. John said "soon" but not sure how soon.

love2traveljen Posted November 4, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Seems to be the same I believe. Thanks for the photo! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigercat Posted November 4, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 4, 2016 We were on the Conquest for the Oct. 15th sailing and the old menu was still on. We have done the old menu a couple of times as well and had hoped that the new menu would be presented. Oh well. Maybe the next cruise in Feb. for the Bloggers Cruise. Oh and the menu that was just posted is the old menu. tigercat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpsychRN Posted November 4, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Sea Bass was the best fish I've ever had, ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2traveljen Posted November 6, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted November 6, 2016 We have had the chefs table the passed two years on the New Years cruises on the fantasy and sunshine. Amazing. But we want to try something new. Was hoping the splendor New Years cruise would have the new one. Ma skip it this year if it's the same. :( Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swodog94 Posted November 6, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 6, 2016 This was our first time doing Chef's Table, and we thought it was amazing! But if the menu doesn't change, I doubt we'll repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMastell Posted November 6, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 6, 2016 My wife and I did the Chef's Table two weeks ago on the Dream. I have to say I was very underwhelmed. The worst was the Sea Bass. I had to discreetly ask the chef for a replacement. I took one bite and had to dispose of it into my napkin. It tasted like fish entrails. It was a bad piece. Second was the dessert. It was a chocolate hazelnut dessert that you literally had to chisel apart with your spoon. I cooked in fine dining for years and if I had sent some of those courses out I would have been fired or demoted to prep cook. Because of my cooking in fine dining the idea of eating in the kitchen was not that exciting. Four of our dinner companions had the same opinion I did. This was my only complaint on the Carnival email survey. I had always heard good things about the experience so ours may have been a fluke but I was quite disappointed. We ate at the steakhouse twice and it was a wonderful experience both times and a much better value. Take care, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalaDragonflyLady Posted November 6, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 6, 2016 They're testing the new menu on the Vista, haven't heard when it will roll out to the rest of the fleet :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyrisong1 Posted November 6, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 6, 2016 We will be doing a brand new one on the Vista Repo. I did this menu on my last cruise and it was wonderful, loved everything except desert, for some reason they don't do an amazing desert on the CT, I've done every menu and I've never been excited. Of course it could be I'm just too full!! Enjoy! The mango sphere is amazing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The menu at the CT is quite eclectic, guess it was not for you. I have done 5 (sans wife, who frankly would not like the majority of items, including the sea bass) and the sea bass is not my favorite, but I have not found the menu taste to vary greatly.

Sent from my iPad using Forums Being a chef in the restaurant business you would be amazed at the things I have tasted. I have probably cleaned, prepared and tasted more fish, including sea bass, than you have ever eaten. Do not assume that I don't know the difference and my tastes are not very "eclectic". I know when something is bad and poorly prepared. I believe this was a fluke because if it wasn't then the people who rave about it are just rubes who are easily swayed by eating in the kitchen, fancy presentations and the chance to drink a lot of wine.

calicostorms Posted November 6, 2016 #13 Share Posted November 6, 2016 We are on the Dream at the end of this month and wanted to know the same thing. I asked John Heald on facebook and this was his response on 10/29/16 :D:D:D "it already has the new menu for this coming week smile emoticon:) Cheers and let me know if there is anything I can do for you."

Of course it could be I'm just too full!! Enjoy! The mango sphere is amazing!! How long ago was your last CT? On the last menu they had a dessert called "Chef In A Candy Store" and it was just odd, but now the chocolate dish is much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morkat Posted January 12, 2017 #18 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I really liked almost everything. Pork belly, lamb, and veal were my favorites. There was one appetizer I didn't like. Tasted like peanut butter to me Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
