Lobster on the Eclipse?

[ds521]

We'll be taking our first Celebrity cruise in a couple week - we normally cruise with RCCL who have one night where lobster is on the menu in the main dining room. Does Celebrity also have this "lobster night"?

Yes. It is the 2nd formal night. A few people in our group had 3 tails each :eek:. They aren't huge lobster, but were bigger than the ones we had on our previous cruises. Very yummy!

I havwe had them in Blu on our last two Equinox cruises; and, they were very good, and of a good size. They had them the same night with the appetizer fried soft shell crabs, which were excellent.

We had two small lobster tails the last formal night. They did not automatically bring melted butter. The lobster is served differently. But they brought butter and extra lobster tails if you ask.

if not lobster, what is the "star" of the first formal night?

go to Murano...their lobster was incredible

[ellbon]

the lobstrer is a joke- small piece with other seafood.. go to mureno's and get a real lobster.

Forget the lobster -- go for the beef tornadoes with mushroom sauce. You could cut it with a fork.

Do they offer Maine lobster in Murano or is it the same Caribbean lobster they serve in the MDR?

On the Eclipse TA in Oct. everyone around us in Murano got half of a lobster that was not much bigger than a decent sized scampi. Everyone at our table was shocked by the size and by only receiving half of a tail. If that's all they can afford they should just skip it entirely.

If it was that small, I can guarantee you it wasn't Maine lobster! We have minimum and maximum size limits. The smallest legal lobster would be around 1#... the largest legal lobster would be no more than 4#. What determines the legal size, though, is the length of the carapace (body shell).

Hi Jerseygirl !

 

It's a Lobster Tail in Murano as well. I'm not certain if it's the same Lobster that's served in the MDR, but it was larger, and tastier. In Murano, they offered a few choices of preparation (Thermador, Broiled or Steamed). I highly recommend trying the Lobster Thermador, as it was outstanding.

 

I hope this helps. Enjoy you r Cruise !

Ditto, with Filet Peppercorn next to it. :)

Did you have your lobster in the main dining room or in Blu?

Sorry, I meant we were served half of a very small lobster tail in the MDR, not Murano.
