Nope, not on Triumph either. It's a little stand, like a malll kiosk.

 

It's much smaller on the Sensation too. It's right outside of the casino where they used to serve Sushi. It does look exactly like the pics show on the Freedom.

 

eta: thanks cruisincow. that's it!

I believe it replaced the sushi bars. It is not available every night but about half the nights. They have food that is sometimes from the restaurant and sometimes just inspired. The staff plates the food, so ere is not a crazy rush.

 

Thee meatball and bruschetta from La Cucina which they actually have.

I think it is a nice snack, especially if you eat dinner later.

Oh My, a free taste bar.

 

Are people pushing and shoving like this is the last taste of anything they will get before going to prison?

 

LOL No! On the Breeze there was never more than 2 or 3 people waiting. The tasting options were fantastic and as an added bonus we would have a sandwich and salad for lunch there with no line up and healthier choices,

The fritter is available in the Red Frog Pub on those ships that have a Pub with food such as the Breeze. EDIT...also only available on the Magic. Edited by SNJCruisers

It's kinda like Sam's Club at sea!:)

That's funny! (we call it Costco)

and thanks to all who posted pictures for the OP to see the treats at The Taste Bar, I know it takes a bit of patience to post pics on this site ;)

We were on the Victory in February and they had it, very small kiosk right outside of the casino (if I recall, it was between the casino and coffee bar). We went every night it was open and there was never more than a couple of people in line. We tried everything but like taste bars everywhere, some things we liked, some we didn't. I can't recall anything in particular that stood out but it was always an interesting couple of minutes :)

I enjoyed going to the Taste Bar on Conquest....I think it was open 4 nights on our 7 night cruise...of that I enjoyed the food 2 days and didn't enjoy it the other 2. But it was fun to go see what they were serving and get a little snack before dinner!

And while I haven't tried it, I think it must be better than Costco/Sam's Club!! Sometimes, you just want a little taste of something...a little fried cheese or tortilla soup, yum!! I liked the sushi and will miss the sushi, but I am looking forward to tasting this...but only if there is not a huge line when I walk by! LOL
