scgamecock Posted October 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2011 On my last cruise, we had 2 guys at our table having a little competition and they had salad, soup, 7 lobster tails, prime rib & dessert. I only had 4. They are awfully small! :p What's your best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonnie&clydecruzers Posted October 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I have only had 2 before but I think this cruise might be a different story. I know for sure I can eat atleast 5 but I have always been a little embarrassed to order that many. Should I be? Did they order 7 all at once or how did they do that? OP good question!

scgamecock Posted October 14, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted October 14, 2011 They ordered all 7 at once and the waiter didn't even flinch. Started out with one, then they put 3 per plate on the next 2 plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonnie&clydecruzers Posted October 14, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I don't know if I could finish 7 tails because I normally order 2 appetizers and 2 desserts. But maybe I will start off with 3 tails and take it from there.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H82seaUgo Posted October 14, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 14, 2011 never had more than 1, as i always order a surf and tuf double entree combo. but one lady was boasting proudly recently that her son had 14, and she was quickly scolded and criticized for allowing such gluttony.

tassycatt Posted October 14, 2011 #9 Share Posted October 14, 2011 just 1. I prefer not to look like a giant hog in front of my tablemates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted October 14, 2011 #10 Share Posted October 14, 2011 just 1. I prefer not to look like a giant hog in front of my tablemates. Ditto.......could I eat more than one......probably, but I also choose not to look like a hog at a trough and find it disgusting that others do....hence.....Your Time Dining and a table for 2 for us.

Dee777 Posted October 14, 2011 #14 Share Posted October 14, 2011 My husband ordered 2 last cruise, I had one. I always wished I had ordered an extra. Maybe next time, I DO love lobster and I really don't much care if anyone is watching what I'm eating and thinks I'm a "hog" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLookGood Posted October 14, 2011 #16 Share Posted October 14, 2011 My husband had 5 on one of the cruises. He was embarrassed to order all 5, so he ordered 3 and had my son and I order the other two. The waiter figured out what we were doing, and told my husband that it would have been OK if he ordered all 5 - he was not judging. He even offered to bring more, but at this point my husband was too full, so he declined. (We had the best waiter and his assistant on that cruise).

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted October 14, 2011 #17 Share Posted October 14, 2011 My record is 1, but that is over a span of 60 cruises! Prime Rib is where it's at for me! ;) Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcuchio24 Posted October 14, 2011 #18 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I used to eat 6 or 7 pretty regularly when we had lobster bakes in the summer. But mind you, that's not on a cruise ship, the lobsters are fresh and are whole lobsters with claws:). I've probably had a half dozen tails total in the past decade on cruise ships, never impressed. I'll take the prime rib instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoburm Posted October 14, 2011 #19 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Years ago, in my younger days, I ate 9 lobster tails with a side of meat and the appetizers. I think my best nowadays is around 2-3....love that lobster!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieworkman Posted October 14, 2011 #20 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Zero. I never order it. I'm in the prime rib crowd! DH had 1 last cruise for the first time. He said it wasn't good. Probably won't order it again. Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargateman Posted October 14, 2011 #22 Share Posted October 14, 2011 On one of our group cruises my friend eat 8 lobster dinners and 4 prime rib dinners, yes with trimmings also had soup, appetizer, dessert, bread and 6 diet cokes (yes diet lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjtulsa Posted October 14, 2011 #23 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I have only ordered 1 but I do know someone that has ordered 17! :eek: He is not that big of a guy either. I would have been embarrassed to be at the table with him though.:o I do know that if you order more than 1 that it is much easier on the waiters if you order them at the start. They dont care how many you order because If you order them later, they have to go thru long lines to wait for the additional dishes. If you have ever been on the galley tour they will explain this and how complicated and backed up it gets when people continue to re-order.

Carnival Platinum Cruiser Posted October 14, 2011 #24 Share Posted October 14, 2011 One and it was so bad that was one too many. Yeah I agree I don't eat those inferior lobsters on CCL anymore. Once was enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spideyfam Posted October 14, 2011 #25 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I usually order two. In April on the Pride, the waiter "made" me have a third one because he could tell I wanted it. (I did) Edited October 14, 2011 by spideyfam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
