bartzcrew Posted March 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I was excited to make a reservation for our upcoming cruise to experience the "Art at the table" dessert. I see it as recent as Feb in reviews, but its not on the menu that is listed online. Seeing as this is one of the reasons I wanna book the dinner, can anyone say that it can still be ordered off menu? I cant imagine it could as its so large, but thought I would ask.

teknoge3k Posted March 27, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2019 We had it when we sailed last in July. Something to keep in mind, it's more for the experience than the taste. It was horrible. My wife and myself along with the table near us all thought the same thing. Nobody ate much of it. I recorded it at our table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted March 27, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 27, 2019 LOL, it is something different.....it amazes me what some find great others do not. If you do not like it, order something else, I thought they got an A for effort, Oh, they did bring back the cheesecake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgonzogoo Posted March 27, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 27, 2019 We got it last year and taste/yummy-dessert factor was a 2. The presentation was nice maybe a 7..... the highlight is supposed to be the ball at the end, ice cream i think it was. Do yourself a favor, watch the video and rubber-neck at a nearby table that gets it, and order something diff.... but as always, YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Wavey Posted March 27, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I have seen it quite a few times and agree that it really isn't for eating based on seeing people only take a few bites of the chocolate ball shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted March 27, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2019 We saw it done on our last cruise and enjoyed watching them do it. Agree they should get an A for effort but for taste well that is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted March 27, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) The table art dessert was available on the Magic last week. I haven't tried it, always order something else, like fruit. And the hazelnut cheesecake they brought back isn't as good as the creamy cheesecake it replaced. JMO, YMMV.

Rare crewsweeper Posted March 27, 2019 #11 Share Posted March 27, 2019 We had the Art d'Table dessert on the horizon in January. Ate it all. Fantastic flavors. And while it's not a towering rendition of a faux Juniors Cheesecake, after a large meal , it provides just the right amount of sweetness. If you still crave yuuggee desserts, then head over to the Java Blue and order one of their monsters... Sooo Goood!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never much room for anything after that meal. Usually listen to what home made ice creams are available and then decline....maybe a cup of coffee or tea...

bakersdozen12 Posted March 27, 2019 #13 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I’m not sure what you mean by “ordering it off the menu.” This desert is only on the new steakhouse menu, so the ship’s that haven’t gotten the new menu yet won’t have it. What ship are you booked on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely delicious. It’s like the old adage goes, “Don’t knock something until you have tried it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can make a mess on a cutting board at home if I really want to try it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five. Posted March 27, 2019 #16 Share Posted March 27, 2019 As others have said everyone is different. We loved the presentation and taste. We are huge white chocolate fans anyways, so we loved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralNY1 Posted March 27, 2019 #17 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Just had it on the Pride last month and I thought both the presentation and taste were excellent! I would absolutely order it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted March 27, 2019 #18 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Our party of four was in agreement: fun presentation, not particularly good to eat. We didn't regret having ordered it, but once was enough. My understanding is that it's offered only in steakhouses that are serving the "new" menu. I am surprised that menu isn't fleetwide at this point. If memory serves it was introduced on the Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted March 27, 2019 #19 Share Posted March 27, 2019 We ordered it the first time we sailed a ship with the new menu. It was ok, the presentation was good but we didn’t eat half the stuff they put on the board (little candies), the highlight was the chocolate sphere centerpiece with the ice cream in it. That was ok, the ice cream was yummy. From then on we have stuck with the homemade ice creams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted March 27, 2019 #20 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I did it at my first visit to the Steakhouse last month, seeing that I don't usually order dessert, it made it an easier choice for me. It was fun. I wish I didn't spoil it beforehand by watching a video. I don't regret getting it, but it wasn't amazing tasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is, if its not on the menu, is it still able to be ordered. Or, if the menu for my specific ship, the Magic, doesnt show it, then that means we are out of luck.

I think all the ships now have the new Steakhouse menu that does have it so if you saw a menu that does not have it I believe that’s a mistake/ the old menu.
