It's true that the sandwich is not enormous (the hamburgers are much larger) BUT a little goes a long way for me. Especially when followed with a smoothie ... Mura Hmm, maybe a lobster roll 🙂 Grab a hot dog bun (I know, not a split top but still) and a little mayo. Mmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if the ship is, or has been in NE, and it can be provisioned easily, you may find it more places. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did report it to first the teatime management, then the head concierge after we reported it to the front desk and then finally after the cruise we wrote corporate management. We absolutely never heard back from anyone. Crickets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, our upcoming cruise may be our last. Not that it happened, which was dreadful, but the fact that they never replied to you and likely never dealt with the issue. Thanks for sharing this and I'm glad nothing worse happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing this and I'm glad nothing worse happened. Yes this was Oceania on the Mariner. Thankfully mine is just a food sensitivity where if I eat shellfish, I get very bad stomach cramps that last anywhere from a few hours to over 24 hours. My concern wasn't for me after it happened but what if someone had a true shellfish allergy. It could have killed them and yet they had a caviler attitude to the whole problem. Hopefully while they were less than concerned to our faces, they did take immediate steps behind the scenes so it would never happen again, but like I said, they never let us know.

FYI because I couldn't give up the price and because I remember the food was very good, I'm taking my son on a 7 day Caribbean on Serina this January. It's his graduation gift. I'm hoping that was a momentary lapse from when I was on. (There were other issues too but that was the most serious one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seafood components figure into much of all Asian foods... from sauces to ingredients. You might look up the entrees and dishes and look up recipes. to be safe. I always do and do ask no matter where I eat. Last thing I want is to be doubled over in bed with stomach cramps on a cruise. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
