kangforpres Posted December 7, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 7, 2022 DW and I are going on a 7 day Mexico cruise starting this Saturday, so we try to eat all the perishables in the house since we will be gone all next week. She reminded me 'don't forget the lobster tails in the freezer" while I do our meal planning. So this got me thinking if we brought these on board in a cooler could we ask them to prepare them for us on the first dressy night of the cruise in the MDR? Otherwise we got to pay the surcharge to add one of their lobster tails while dining in the MDR? What do you think? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REOVA Posted December 7, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 7, 2022 You could say you have allergies to lobster except these specific ones. 🤣 I am not aware of HAL allowing perishable food brought onboard (and to be cooked) post Covid. But you might ask ahead of time and mention a special occasion dinner you want them for. We were on Rotterdam last month and Pinnacle Grill ran out usual lobster tails but said they have small ones and would give 2. If I didn't know better they looked more like giant crawfish. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trixiee Posted December 7, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Yes! Let's all empty our freezers and ask the chef(s) to prepare what we've brought! /S 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida_gal_50 Posted December 7, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I've heard of people bringing dirty laundry from home so how much different is food? I wouldn't do it even I could drive to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Floridian 26 Posted December 7, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 7, 2022 The lobsters will be fine in your freezer for another week. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger_77 Posted December 7, 2022 #8 Share Posted December 7, 2022 While I'm no expert, I would say the answer would be no. To have someone bring into the commercial kitchen something that has not come from an approved supplier would bring up contamination issues, etc. If the lobster tails are in your freezer, they will certainly be fine there for another week. Enjoy them when you return home. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kangforpres Posted December 8, 2022 Author #14 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) I cooked the 2 lobster tails last night for dinner, so I guess we will never know, and yes the post was a joke.

highscar Posted December 8, 2022 #18 Share Posted December 8, 2022 This reminds me several years ago when my DH and his buddy caught an ugly grooper deep sea fishing off Carbo and had it frozen and trucked it home to Canada in the overheads on the plane. Got away this it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
