Lobster night in MDR on 5 night cruise?

[CruisinBlondie28]

We are going on a 5 night cruise soon on the Navigator. Wondering if there is still complimentary lobster night in the MDR on a 5 nighter? If so, which night would it be?

Lobster is served on the second formal night.  5 night cruises only have 1 formal night.

Did not get lobster on the December 5 night Mariner sail.

Brilliance 5 night had no lobster.

We did a B2B on Mariner in December. No lobster on either 5 night cruise.

No lobster on 5 night sailings. More than 5 you do.

We have had lobster on two 5-nights on Adventure this year.  I recall in the past no lobster but it appears they may have changed that.  Or maybe they had a bunch to get rid of.  I did my part.  Stopped at 6 both times.

it still amazes me at the fascination that people have with lobster night.  I get 2 tails with dinner, but if they didn't have it I would not be upset.  The quality of the tails served is not that great.  you can buy frozen lobster tails at walmart for less than $20.  Its not like you are getting a nice whole live Maine lobster.  they are probably serving frozen lobster tails from china or vietnam or somewhere, just not the US as they are way to small to be legally harvested here.

We were surprised that they served lobster on an Adventure 5 night this past December.

Agree definitely lobster on 5-night Adventure sailings. 
 

I am another one that doesn’t see what all the fuss is about and certainly doesn’t warrant the ridiculously long lines it created for MTD.

Yeah, I don't get it either. I go to Whole Foods and get those same lobster tails for like $10. They're perfect for grilling up with some steak as a little surf and turf without breaking the bank, but they're certainly nothing special.

The very first person in history who looked at a lobster and decided to eat it must have been very hungry.

There was lobster on a 5-night cruise in Feb. on Adventure.

I say the same thing about that brave (crazy ?) person who had the first bite of some limburger cheese

China is a HUGE importer of lobster, primarily from Maine and Canada.  RC is not getting their lobsters from China or Southeast Asia.

Just my opinion but to call the current MDR fisherman's platter "lobster" is a bit generous!  More like large prawns.  😁  Not like it was years ago, anyway.

 

But to add, in my experience there has not been lobster offered on a 5-night cruise in the past.

Happy to report back that there was indeed lobster on night 4 of our 5 night cruise on the Navigator this past week! We did opt to go to Hooked as well, which was amazing! Was nice to get lobster two nights onboard 🙂

I had a lobster tail last night at dinner,   it's like getting chicken on a ship.....not really a big deal for me  (I was at home, not a ship)
