Lobster at the Crown Grill, and related Q's

[bhopal21]

No, lobster was not offered on either leg of our Ruby Princess B2B earlier this month.

It is in the MDR menu on a formal night, together with the beef wellington and the pheasant.

 

As I stated there was no lobster on formal night on our recent Ruby cruise.

 

There was a filet and prawns which were pretty good.

Mike, These posts from another thread would appear to indicate that lobster was still offered on the Ruby's 5 Day cruises.

 

So on a 5 day cruise which Formal night Menu do you think they use?

 

1 Grilled Chili-Spiced Barramundi Steak with Lobster Creamoro

or

2 Broiled Lobster Tail and King Prawns with Lemon Butter

5 NIGHT cruise does #2. We were on B2B 5 days in January (Ruby) and they both had the same menu.

Both the 3 and 4 day West Coast cruises have no formal night. They have menus apparently introduced this year specifically for the Coastal cruises. With no formal night they have a menu that does include filet and shrimp/prawns, but no lobster.

It may not always be offered on the 5 night cruises because other threads have indicated that it wasn't. We will be finding that out next week when we will be on the Ruby for a B2B. :cool:

It does sound like it might be hit or miss on the Ruby. Go not expecting lobster. Many times I have ordered the prawns rather than the lobster to go with my Beef Wellington. I often rely on the waiter's recommendation.

I did take advantage of the Escargot on the formal evening as well as dress to impress night.:D

Order as much as you like, including lobster tails, prawns, scallops, etc., just be sure and eat it all and give your server a nice CASH tip! :) burp........

I was looking at the menu for the Crown Grill, and I think I started to drool a little, LOL. I have a couple of questions:

 

What is the spiny lobster cake appetizer like?

 

When ordering the lobster, do you order a particular number of lobster tails, or is there a standard number that they give you?

 

Can you order multiple entrees? I'm thinking the tiger prawns AND the lobster might be good ;)

 

Thank you!

I imagine you can make multiple requests. Being from New England, Spiney Lobsters just don't quite cut it. I was able to get the cold water variety in the Queens Grill on Cunard.
