Lobster on menu

[spintowin]

Is lobster still on the menu?

[sheezsmith]

Yes, if that is what you want to call it, being from New England, I cannot compare what Royal serves as "lobster" to anything we have here!

Second formal night as part of the Fisherman's plate.

 

Only served on sailings of 5 days or longer originating from North America.

[Bigtex1622]

Can you buy them, at a cost in the MDR ?

 

:D

Just returned from 5night bermuda cruise last week. NO lobster. Only available on the "pay" menu.

[TYSONBOXER]

Was on FOS in Aug and yes on second formal night, but on menu for extra cost every night.

5 nights and below don't have the lobster tail.

[AustinCruise]

Navigator had lobster tail on 2nd formal night last week.

 

Full lobster was also on the menu at a significant upcharge ($29 I *think*).

 

My 11 yo lobbied for the full lobster, but settled for 3 lobster tails.

Curious as to which answer is correct. :)

Well I guess this now varies as someone reported that the 5 night on Liberty to Bermuda didn't have lobster but I have been on a couple of 5 night cruises that it was served.

2/2015 Indy showed lobster for second formal night. I was dismayed to find out they changed (no notices at all) to the night before when we ate elsewhere.

Gee, I never heard that before. :rolleyes:

 

I guess it's a trade off. Live in cold water and get good lobster. Visit the Caribbean and get paradise with really big shrimps. ;)

How about out of San Juan?

[ryano]

Gee, I never heard that before. :rolleyes:

 

 

LOL!

 

Invariably, every time lobster is mentioned on this board, there will be one of our Northern friends telling us how RC lobster tails doesnt stack up to their succulent whole Maine lobsters ;)

 

THe only thing left out in this instance was how cheap they can buy it "fresh off the boat"

 

:D

We've had "free" lobster on Adventure out of San Juan for the last few years.

5 nighter out of Tampa on Radiance definitely had lobster tails. But that was 4 years ago :o

You two are hilarious. But this is true. *shrug* I guess people like RCI lobster because they (we) can't afford or get the really good stuff. It's a "treat" for most of us, I suppose, however right or wrong it may be. :D

I think the for fee lobster is the cold water version. Probably frozen though. There are logistics to consider I guess. ;)

We have never paid for it but my guess too is that it is frozen.

 

Off topic, I just noticed you are in Cocoa Beach; spent many a day tanning and playing in the surf there while growing up. My grandparents had a house in Port St. John, which now belongs to my uncle. Lived in Tallahassee for a year while my Dad taught at FSU. Visited my grandparents and Cocoa beach a few times. :)

View from beach this morning. I can't imagine a better place to live. Lucky, I guess.

The lobster ain't what it used to be on any ship or cruise line. They've all gotten smaller and are paired with shrimp these days. I miss those huge lobster tails.

[davekathy]

Living in Utah we think the lobsters served in the MDR on any Cruise ship are good. One is plenty.

Have you been to Chops lately. Shrimp are like cigars.
