Lobster Served First or Second Formal Night?

[bury me at sea]

I have gone totally brain dead and can't remember whether lobster is served the first or second formal night on a seven day cruise.  

 

Would someone help me?

 

Thanks.

First formal night on any cruise (20) we've been on.

Has always been first night, on our cruises.

Thanks to you both.  Trying to decide if we want to do the steakhouse next cruise, and suddenly couldn't remember when the lobster was served.

Usually 2nd formal night.

Always 1st formal/elegant night on 15 6+ day cruises with 2 formal/elegant nights.

It has always been the first elegant night on every cruise I have taken.

That has never been my experience.

Incorrect, and it's the first elegant night. Carnival dropped the term formal some years ago and replaced it with elegant.

Sorry was thinking of another cruise line.

Carnival is first elegant night.

 

Royal Caribbean and Disney - second formal night (well, on Disney it's the semi-formal night but still the second of the dress-up nights).

It's always been the first elegant night, which is the Captain's night where you can get your pic with the Captain.  I wish they would serve lobster on both elegant nights.

I agree that both nights would be lovely.

They do serve lobster on both Elegant nights - just on the second elegant night it will cost you $20.

Well, yeah, I meant the free lobster.  I started to clarify that, but for some reason I didn't.  Lol, I get by with a little help from my friends.

I am not sure why it is not lobster every night. Right now Maine is up to their hips in lobster because China has stopped buying. China slapped a 25% tariff on the delicious crustaceans because they want to continue the unfair trade practices that have been taking advantage of Americans for fifty years. 

 

Lobster is now down from almost $11/lb earlier this year to $3.50/lb.

 

Any cruise line could have it on the menu daily and still protect the pantry budget.

I am actually kind of in shock you asked this......  I kept waiting for the punch line, memory is the 2nd thing to go I think...but I cannot remember.

But on Disney, the lobster have come out dressed in a character and they get announced on table delivery.

Believe me I was embarrassed, but my mind went totally blank and for some reason I felt it was imperative to know IMMEDIATELY.

 

Not my first slip of the brain.

 

Happy sailing.

I resemble that remark....
