Lobster??????

I can understand paying extra for lobster at the free included restaurants, but if you are at a pay extra restaurant, there is an additional $25 charge for lobster. Why is NCL doing this when other lines are not? Were too many people ordering the lobster when there was no extra charge for it?

We had lobster in Tepanyaki, La Cucina and Le Bistro, all at no extra charge.

OP, I think you might be confusing that some specialty restaurants are now a la carte pricing and the lobster in (Cagney's) is $25. There is no restaurant fee over and above the a la carte pricing.

There is no additional charge for lobster at any of the specialty restaurants. It is just another menu item. Every restaurant has a lobster dish. Every a la carte restaurant charges for every entree (including the lobster). And the lobster is not always the most expensive item on the menu. The only place where the lobster is free, is the Havens restaurant, which is a complimentary restaurant.

I have cruised NCL, Carnival, and Princess this year, and NCL is the ONLY one that didn't serve lobster in the included restaurants without a charge.

I might add that while NCL was making a few dollars by charging for lobster, the other lines made much more by getting my bookings and including the lobster.

The Haven restaurant may be complimentary, but is only available to Haven guests. You are paying for that lobster in your fare.

I am confused: Where are you getting the idea NCL is charging $25 extra for Lobster in the specialty dining rooms and other lines are not?

this may be true, I can't say for sure, but I do know, which you are choosing not to mention, many of the other lines charge a lot higher prices in their specialty dining rooms

I did not use any of the specialty dining rooms on Carnival or Princess. The food was very good in the included dining rooms.

Before you ask, the overall fares on both lines were less than NCL for the cruises I booked.

The Haven restaurant may be complimentary, but is only available to Haven guests. You are paying for that lobster in your fare.

Disagree.

Are you saying the Haven restaurant is open to all guests on the cruise ?????????

If you have a Specialty Dining Package, then the lobster at Cagneys or Le Bistro is an included entree. No extra charge.

You are making decisions on cruises based on lobster? Seriously?

Are you Platinum? If so, there are certain mains that are excluded from the free meals you get. I am sure that lobster is one of those as is the "Beef for Two".

RCCL has lobster night in MDR that is no additional cost.

You can order lobster and steak from specialty restaurants to eat in MDR for an additional charge.

Where is there an additional $25 charge for it?

If you do not have a Specialty Dining Plan then the a la carte price for lobster in Cagneys and Le Bistro is $24.99

That and many many more reasons. Why do you ask ?

The OP said that there is an additional charge for lobster.

Obviously if you don't have the dining plan then you pay for the lobster, just the same as you pay for the Cagneys Fries.

This is the standard charge, not an additional one. I assume that the OP is misunderstanding something.

Maybe they charge for lobster in the INCLUDED dining rooms. Other cruise lines DO NOT?
