sunshower9 Posted October 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just got off the Vista yesterday and they mentioned during the cooking demonstration that Cucina had a brand new menu. I had booked a reservation there prior to sailing just to say I tried it (never been there before), but I ended up canceling. We did go there for lunch, but I wasn't too impressed so neither of us felt the need to go back.

bar1068 Posted October 2, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Any idea if this menu change is just for Vista or Cucina's on other ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshower9 Posted October 2, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Any idea if this menu change is just for Vista or for other Cucina's on other ships? I'm not sure. I just remember them mentioning that they had brand new menus for both the steakhouse and Cucina. But my guess is that it would eventually be changing on all the other ships as well.

Butterbean1000 Posted October 2, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Wow, the dessert menu is really lacking. Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13cheermom Posted October 2, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 2, 2017 No more cannolis or tiramisu either? Not sure I’m going to keep my reservation on the Magic in November with these changes.

trvlgirlmq Posted October 2, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Think I will be canceling. Those desserts stink and I love carbonara and had planned to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13cheermom Posted October 2, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Does anyone know if this is in effect on the Magic already? I’m going to email them and ask about the change over dates. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshower9 Posted October 2, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Think I will be canceling. Those desserts stink and I love carbonara and had planned to get it. That's exactly why I cancelled too. I've never had the carbonara and had planned to try it then. Also didn't like the dessert selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted October 3, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 3, 2017 cancelling for a dessert is silly considering the menu is so diverse. The short ribs are to die for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted October 3, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 3, 2017 They have all my favorites EXCEPT for dessert. Those desserts don’t sound appetizing at all. I guess I could go try it and if we don’t get a dessert we like, we can order room service chocolate cake.

13cheermom Posted October 3, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 3, 2017 cancelling for a dessert is silly considering the menu is so diverse. The short ribs are to die for. Well considering the main entree and both dessert choices we've had before and enjoyed are no longer on the menu and the reason we wanted to return, I feel like it's a legitimate reason to cancel also. I've emailed Magic contact person to find out when this change over is taking place on their ship. Especially when I am paying a surcharge for this meal I can't justify going when the selections I would order are no longer available.

A&Jfamily Posted October 3, 2017 #14 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Looks like the steak is gone too - DH will miss that. We will be on the Sunshine in a few weeks and I will report back if it is indeed a new menu there! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CdnSunshine Posted October 3, 2017 #17 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I also can't believe they got rid of the spaghetti carbonara!!! It was nothing like the one they serve in the MDR - it was waaaay better quality. So rich, creamy and delicious. It was hands down my favourite thing on the Cucina menu. Boo Carnival!

soremekun Posted October 3, 2017 #18 Share Posted October 3, 2017 My cruise which started Aug 26 this year on the Magic was the old menu. I had dinner there the first night. Sent from my Z981 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPEvans Posted October 3, 2017 #20 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Does anyone know if this is in effect on the Magic already? I’m going to email them and ask about the change over dates. Sent from my iPhone using Forums I just got off the Magic on Saturday. I ate at Cucina. Was disappointed in the desserts, no Canolis or Tiramisu. My desserts was a little sponge cake and lemon sherbet. But the rice balls for appetizer was delicious. And my risotto had edible gold on top.

My desserts was a little sponge cake and lemon sherbet. But the rice balls for appetizer was delicious. And my risotto had edible gold on top. Thanks for the information. I emailed the Magic last night and they quickly responded this morning that the change was implemented on Sept. 24th for the new menu change. I also promptly responded back and cancelled my reservation for my November cruise and let them know my reasoning. So sad to see the carbonara and 2 favorite deserts missing from the menu. I do understand the need for change however cannoli and tiramisu are two genuine italian deserts that should've been left on the menu. When we traveled to Europe we tried cannoli in every port in Italy, oh how I enjoyed them. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering this is an up charge restaurant and I do not like the changes, then yes, it is a valid reason to save my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachLoverstoo Posted October 3, 2017 #23 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Since the new menu was just implemented on Vista and Magic (per JH), we are going to wait and see if there is tweaking to the offerings based on customer responses. We have reservations for Cucina on both legs of our B2B in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted October 3, 2017 #24 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yep would miss the carbonnara, but the paccheri doesn't sound too bad. Nor does the lamb. But agree those desserts aren't appetizing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted October 3, 2017 #25 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I agree with the others. This new menu isn't much to get excited about and not worth an upcharge IMO. I can't imagine an Italian dinner menu without cannolis or tiramisu being offered for dessert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
