aliaschief Posted December 18, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Yes, It has been available on recent cruises. The price has really increased and I’m guessing around $70.00 but will defer to someone who know exact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bnxshs Posted December 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2017 In December on the NA, the Ossetra Malossol Caviar was a $70 supplemental charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igraf Posted December 18, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Do people actually enjoy eating fish eggs (caviar) or simply the fact that they are eating it? I personally never cared for it. igraf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted December 18, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 18, 2017 We are also caviar lovers. We have gotten it a couple of times on HAL and it was excellent. Be sure to ask that it is the Ossetra Malossol Caviar. One time it wasn't and our waitress said she wouldn't serve it to us as it was some kind of red caviar.

avian777 Posted December 18, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Do people actually enjoy eating fish eggs (caviar) or simply the fact that they are eating it?igraf Excellent question. IMO a lot of people who say they like caviar do so out of fear that they will be labeled as low-class neanderthals if they say they do not like it ... present company excepted, of course!

When we did the Cellar Master's dinner on the NA earlier this year, there were 3 types of caviar, including a red one. I left each of mine on the plate as I really don't like caviar but everyone else seemed to enjoy each kind. I still feel guilty about the waste and the cost.;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted December 18, 2017 #14 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I do enjoy it, but as said it is something of a rare treat. I first tried it somewhere around age 11-12 when ships (or at least the one I was on) still offered it in the MDR on formal evenings. To my parents' surprise, I liked it.

LuAnn Posted December 19, 2017 #18 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Is there an opportunity to order caviar alone without the dinner aspect as well? say in one of the bars? LuAnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuAnn From what I have read here on Live Threads if you are on a ship with a Pinnacle Bar, it has been done. that leaves out the smaller ships but it's worth asking on board IF you have a Pinnacle Bar.

Rare Hlitner Posted December 19, 2017 #20 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Do people actually enjoy eating fish eggs (caviar) or simply the fact that they are eating it? I personally never cared for it. igraf I do love the stuff although DW rolls her eyes and makes faces whenever I eat it :). When I was a child I developed a taste for the stuff because of my Mom...who was the only one in our family to love Caviar (she preferred Beluga which was available in those days). Just came off the Celebrity Reflection where we ate many meals in their upscale restaurant called Murano (makes the Pinnacle seem like McDonalds). One of their starters was a a multi-layered salmon dish that had a top layer of salmon caviar. Ordered it for about half of our 10 dinners in this restaurant...but there was no extra charge :).

On our Nieuw Amsterdam cruises there was a Cellar Master's Dinner -- they were 7 day cruises. We always do 14 day cruises and thought for sure that the Nieuw Amsterdam would at least have Chef Rudi's both weeks -- Nope. Only one week -- 8 of us there. The second week it was cancelled as not many signed up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Salmon Caviar? Ughh:loudcry::eek: I can get that here and avoid it like the plague. But everything is subjective of course. I'm glad you liked it.

My parents made a similar mistake with me at that age, but in this case it was a shrimp cocktail. Taught me to love seafood whenever I could order it.

SetAnOpenCourse Posted December 20, 2017 #24 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Do people actually enjoy eating fish eggs (caviar) or simply the fact that they are eating it? I personally never cared for it. igraf I suppose any food will naturally be good to the taste buds of at least some people. There are some things, though, which probably wouldn't be of much interest to many except for the fact that they are very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avian777 Posted December 20, 2017 #25 Share Posted December 20, 2017 ... On our Nieuw Amsterdam cruises there was a Cellar Master's Dinner -- they were 7 day cruises.
