Last spring on the Oasis they served us an appetizer with our drinks and one of the appetizers was a sort of toasted dry bread with caviar. Not a lot, but yes they did have some. I would assume the Allure would be the same.

Does anyone have a more recent caviar update? We had it in The Champagne Bar on Serenade in 2011 and, I believe at the C&A Loyalty reception on Allure in 2012 but haven't seen it on a cruise since.

Oasis had serve yourself caviar in the Champagne Bar a year ago, at 5:30. Mariner had it at 5:00 on the last 3 cruises we were on her this past year, last in March this year. Hope to see it again on Freedom in 4 weeks. I remember when some of the appetizers in the MDR offered caviar. That was probably seven or more years ago.

We had serve yourself caviar daily at about 5:30 in the Champagne Bar during our TA on Navigator in April this year. Yum:D.....probably our bar bill aboard was double because of this!:eek: I felt I needed to do some research on martinis so I had to try lots of them...:o....that's the beauty of a TA and all those sea days, right?

Apparently last year while on board I was in the wrong place at 530... :-(

 

It always amazes me as to how we ran out of time to do all the things that we wanted to do on board; and the more I explore these boards, the more stuff I find out about! I guess it's time for a B2B on oasis...

We're hoping that maybe we'll have it in the CL. If not, will check in Champagne bar between 5 & 5:30 :)

Used to see appetizers that included caviar in the CL. Haven't seen that for a couple of years.

There was serve yourself caviar in the Champagne Bar on Serenade last December....mmmmmm.

 

I hope that we will find it again on Oasis next week!:D

Serve yourself on the Jewel Champagne Bar as well. We were just there in July.

Was that a Southern Caribbean itinerary? That's the itinerary we were on when we had it at Champagne Bar but we haven't seen it at any Champagne bar since then. Maybe it's a Southern Caribbean thing??

Thanks everyone. The responses so far have me convinced I'm just not looking in the right place at the right time. We'll ask the concierge onboard...pretty sure they'll have the low-down. :cool:

Go right to the source, stop by the Champagne Bar in the afternoon and ask the bartender there. He'll tell you if they are going to have it and what time it's put out each day. Enjoy!

In APril on the Mariner we had it on Formal Nights only, unless I missed it the other evenings.

I didn't see any serve yourself caviar on Liberty recently but we did get it on the complimentary canapés that were brought out the couple of times we went there.

 

Very nice it was as well :)

Jewel had caviar in the Champagne Bar last week. It was southern Caribbean.

[onlyonetrevorfrancis]

It makes me sad reading this :(

 

I really miss the champagne bar which is bizarre really as I wouldn't spend the equivalent amount on something similar on land.

 

It just seems so right at sea :)

Caviar in the Champagne Bar was always our pre-dinner ritual on Brilliance of the Seas 3 years agon on the Dubai Repo cruise.

 

I never thought it was real caviar, obviously for serving it free and also the consistency didn't feel quite right, when biting on it, the "bubbles" didn't pop. But I still liked it :-)

 

Recently, I discovered "Tangkorn" at IKEA, it's a vegetarian caviar replacement made from algae and it feels and tastes exactly like the stuff on Brilliance. :-) I'm pretty sure it is something like this...

I was going to ask if they use real Caviar for self serve so thanks for your post.

[UNV-IT!!!]

Champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

Hope they sell this in the Ikeas over here, thanks for this :)

I just got off the Oasis on Saturday and we were in the Champagne Bar around 5:30 before our last dinner.

 

They had small canapes of salmon mousse, shrimp on toast, and caviar on ice with typical accompaniments like egg, onion, capers, etc on the side. They had small toasted baguettes rather than toast points.

 

It was lovely, especially when I found out I had a two glasses for the price of one on my card! No more coupon books.

 

I did notice the music being played (piped in jazz) was competing with lot of other sounds/music from other venues. Just be aware of that in advance and you'll have a great time.

When I had it on the Mariner, I don't believe it wasn't "real caviar" as in Beluga, Sevruga or other sturgeon eggs. That might be prohibitively expensive. But it was fish roe, I think it was probably lumpfish. People call it caviar, it's not as delicately flavored but it was still really good and I appreciated that they had it for us.

On Jewel last October they had it out every night about 5pm or so, consensus was that it was bluegill/sunfish eggs:D
