ValerieJo Posted November 7, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I read on another site that Royal will start charging $8 per additional dinner plate in the main dining room for dinner beginning in February. Has anyone else heard this? What are your thoughts? Hopefully, it's not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really, these people that try to set the record for how many lobsters they can eat are ridiculous. DO you really need more than 2 plus the appetizers, sides and dessert? Especially on the heals of cancellation of Alaskan crab season due to overfishing. If you can find them it will be expensive.

Our waiter always offers us more lobster, and when one person says yes, he brings a plate with three or four in case he can talk anyone else into taking one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes my husband and I would order a third to share if we couldn’t decide which one we wanted or I’ll get the surf and turf. One cruise I couldn’t decide which dessert I wanted, and the waiter brought me 4 to try, which we all shared. Definitely wouldn’t order so much I couldn’t eat it all.

Most ships the buffet is getting better and faster and it quieter and nicer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimi_j Posted November 8, 2022 #25 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Just make sure that each person at your table says yes to the lobster tail! So in the past my husband wouldn't eat lobster, so I always had mine plus his. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
