psac Posted July 2, 2018 #26 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Actually it was ALOT of lobster. Both huge claws and what seemed to be almost a whole tail just cut into pieces. It was very good. I will say though, not sure why it seems like lobster is the holy grail. I mean you can go to any red lobster across the country and get basically the quality of lobster that you would have previously found on the ships. I even get lobster tails from Giant for $5 a 4ounce tail Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It’s just an indication of cutting corners. I can get a lobster in the MDR on Disney Cruise Line, but I can’t get it in the Haven restaurant for a more expensive booking. I think it still is on the Bayamo new menu on the Escape, though. Unfortunately the rest of the menu seems just so so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hint: One of those tails, even at wholesale price, probably costs them more than any other entree on the menu in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointing out that’s it’s not like it’s anything especially gourmet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love my butler Posted July 3, 2018 #31 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Oh good. Does NCL serve free Lobster on New England/ Canada Cruises ? The word 'free' doesn't exist in NCL's corporate vocabulary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted July 3, 2018 #32 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Oh good. Does NCL serve free Lobster on New England/ Canada Cruises ? Hahahaaa! The poster was referring to buying at any beach shack in Maine or at a restaurant in Bar Harbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funat55 Posted November 4, 2018 #34 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Just got off the Bliss yesterday and had an amazing cruise. But in response to the topic of this thread, there was no lobster on the entire ship. Not even in the specialty restaurants or for an extra fee. Don't know if it is just the Bliss or all the NCL fleet. I was disappointed but I did not starve lol, plenty of good food. However, my lobster on a cruise is the treat that I missed.

Exactly, and get the real thing while in port! Living in New England, I don’t get the whole fascination with lobster either though. Usually work visitors from out of town talk about getting lobster, but usually wind up ordering something else when it comes down to it. Someone eating 25 lobsters is nothing to brag about and is likely because the lobsters served on ships are not true cold water lobsters and are tiny. Give me a good steak over lobster any day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackB60 Posted November 4, 2018 #36 Share Posted November 4, 2018 That's disappointing to hear. We like our lobster too. Especially on a cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddeb Posted November 4, 2018 #37 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Let them eat carbs.... Andy and Jorge have made new ncl policy. I miss Kevin and freestyle, and O Sheehans now called the "local". Really? No more signature white hot party? Really? 875 seat theatre for 4992 paying guests. reservations needed and small venues guarantee most can not attend. "Convenience fees". really? 16 elevators on the bliss for 4992 folks? really? I'm in a wheelchair and can not use stairs. After the Bliss we are done with ncl, going back to rcl, carnival and princess. (Lobster 🙂 ) Time to tell andy and jorge good luck with your daily price increases and cheap hucktser tactics making it a bad experience for non "Haven" folks. Surf and turf is shrimp? really? Yes you will find lobster aplenty when these two sail, just not the riff raff like us who have spent 4k for a six nite cruise. Bon Voyage, hope your new ships have 10k guests and enjoy the new freestyle experience. Bring your credit cards and check your accounts daily is our advice to you. Cheap is as cheap does. Its always five O'clock on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
