AandBmom Posted January 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yes another Lobster thread. My father in law is hoping to have a lobster tail on his bday on our Epic cruise in Feb. I understand this won't happen in the dining room. Where is the best place to take him for a lobster tail dinner that night? Cagney's, Le Bistro?

GoAndHaveFun Posted January 24, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I have enjoyed the baby lobster tails at teppanyaki but that's just me. I thought the lobster tail from Cagneys were alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funat55 Posted January 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I opted to have the lobster in Tepanyaki. They take the lobster out of the shell and grill it and chop it into bite sized pieces. Still tasty and was an extra $10.00. NCL if you are listening, I can accept no more free lobster in the main dining rooms, but I would gladly pay extra for a nice, decent broiled lobster tail with drawn butter. I don't live on the east coast where there seems to be an abundance of delicious lobster at affordable prices. I'm on the west coast and lucky to get lousy Baja lobster let alone the famous Maine Lobster. Lobster is a special treat and not something we routinely order when we go out to dinner, even for a special occasion. It used to be the one entrée that we looked forward to on our cruise because we don't indulge otherwise. If lobster wasn't a favorite of so many, the subject wouldn't be brought up so often. I think everyone would be satisfied if NCL would at least offer it even for an extra price. And I'm not talking about chopped up lobster from Tepanyaki and pieces of lobster in a sauce. I'm talking about an honest to god real and decent lobster like the ones pictured in some of their now deleted advertisements. I'm willing to pay.

beerman2 Posted January 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks for looking that up. Do you happen to have a handy link to both menus? You can go to NCLwebsite and look at the entire menu for the speciality venues. I looked at them numerous times before deciding on Cagneys. The garlic shrimp were very good!

You can get broiled or grilled lobster tail at Le Bistro. I had it grilled last week. It came with two tails and drawn butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know. Thought it was just the pieces of lobster in the puff pastry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobg529 Posted January 25, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 25, 2015 If you happen to be Ocho Rios on Feb 1st check out the VIP Bamboo Beach party. Includes all you can eat and drink including barbecue lobster tail on the beach. Super nice ship excursion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are old menus and could easily be wrong. The current specialty restaurant menus for each ship can be found on the NCL website as part of the information for each ship. For the Epic, they're here .Just click on the sample menu under name of the restaurant you're interested in: http://www.ncl.com/cruise-ship/epic/whats-on-board/Specialty-Dining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still pretty good though if you really can have all you can eat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrgPizza Posted January 25, 2015 #14 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) http://www.beyondships2.com/norwegian-epic-menus.html This is the best link ever! Thanks so much. Those menus are outdated, and some changes have been made. Using the ones on NCL site makes much more sense, since they are updated as soon as they change, and they have the date at the bottom, so you know how recent they are. Here is a page that has links to specialty menus. http://www.ncl.com/cruise-ship/epic/whats-on-board/specialty-dining EDIT: HAHA! I see someone else posted this exact same thing while I was looking up the link. So funny! Edited January 25, 2015 by LrgPizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to see someone else who thinks it's a lot better to go to the source than take potentially outdated information from a third party site. Frankly the "beyondships" site probably has more outdated information than accurate information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musclengrace Posted January 25, 2015 #19 Share Posted January 25, 2015 yes but are you sure they were Maine lobsters? and not that fake stuff from down south. I'm in New England (NH) on Maine border & if i ordered a lobsta and they didn't warn me in advance it'd better be Maine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
