schazzy Posted October 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2017 In a recent review on here mentioned the Taste Bar was gone on the Sensation and was replaced by a for-fee sushi bar. I looked on Carnival's website and there is no longer anything about the Taste Bar under dining options. I know it was there in April on the Ecstasy, although we didn't see many people partaking of it. Honestly we didn't even try anything from it, nothing they offered when we pasted it really seemed worth stopping and sampling. I would be excited if they are bringing back the sushi, even if it is for a nominal fee. It's one thing I used to love getting with my pre-dinner drink. Anyone else know anything about this?

navybaby1113 Posted October 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Hmm...that would be disappointing. I've always enjoyed the Taste Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiegal Posted October 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2017 We always liked the taste bar, too. I was surprised to see the upcharge sushi on the Sensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted October 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2017 They were selling the sushi on the Miracle last month. Not many takers at all. Do miss the taste bar especially the meatballs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schazzy Posted October 15, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I wonder if it's because of this is now being rolled out fleetwide https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=7742 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funinthesun1964 Posted October 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 16, 2017 We had the taste bar on the Paradise last month. Hope it isn't something that will leave the ships. Those small bites were always delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittybork Posted October 16, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I just checked the plans, and it appears that the Taste Bar is gone from the Dream. I'm going to miss it, and I don't eat sushi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBCruiseLover Posted October 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I just checked the plans, and it appears that the Taste Bar is gone from the Dream. I'm going to miss it, and I don't eat sushi! I was on Dream last week. The Taste Bar was there....Deck 5 mid-ship next to the Alchemy Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watermelonqueen99 Posted October 16, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I won't miss it if it goes away. It's the same thing every day: a fried ball of something and a soup. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeeboy77 Posted October 16, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Just noticed they have been removing the Taste Bars from the deck plans...The Sunshine used to have one by the Alchemy on deck 5 and it is now blank on their official deck plan. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted October 16, 2017 #14 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It was on Fascination last week, and on Magic in August. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilcruisers Posted October 16, 2017 #15 Share Posted October 16, 2017 We had taste bar on valor last week on deck 5 . The sushi bar is also there on lido. So they haven't replaced it on the valor. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeeboy77 Posted October 16, 2017 #16 Share Posted October 16, 2017 They appear to still have the taste bars physically on most of the ships, but they have removed them from the official deck plans from what I can see. I would guess the next step would be to actually remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted October 16, 2017 #17 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I was on Dream last week. The Taste Bar was there....Deck 5 mid-ship next to the Alchemy Bar. Exactly. Opposite the karaoke/trivia stage area. Alongside the coffee bar. We saw it there on the Dream Oct.1 sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe4all Posted October 16, 2017 #21 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Hope it is still there on our next cruise, though Glory is listed as one of the roll-out ships for Sushi at Sea in Lido buffet area. Loved grabbing a bite at the Taste Bar before dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted October 16, 2017 #22 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Oh well wonder when someone will come here and say this is an improvement.:mad: It depends on how much one like sushi I guess. For sushi lovers it would be an improvement. If the Taste Bar was underutilized throughout the fleet it's not surprising that they would try something else in it's place (and if the sushi doesn't sell at an acceptable level than it too will likely be replaced with something else).

Taste bar always had a line before dinner so think it was popular. On the Miracle the Sushi guy or guys were standing around doing nothing. Glad to see taste bar still on several ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted October 16, 2017 #25 Share Posted October 16, 2017 No great loss. I certainly wouldn't make a trip during their limited serving window. I don't expect sushi will do much better, it's not like there is a shortage of food everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
