Rare DisneyJen Posted February 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Planning on celebrating our birthdays on Equinox at Murano in May. Wondering if we can order the Chateaubriand for two and one order of the Lobster Murano for the two of us so we can have our own version of Surf and Turf.

CruisersTimesThree Posted February 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Yes you can do that. My son and I have done it several times dining in Murano. Edited February 17, 2023 by CruisersTimesThree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHEZMARYLOU Posted February 22, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2023 The lobster portion is small and prepared tableside. So is,the château. They are both plated as part of the preparation making it difficult to share 2 lobsters and one beef 3 ways. You might want to consider 3 lobsters with the beef on the side.

We ordered in December with no extra charge at the waiter's suggestion. I know the extra Lobster charge in the MDR started January 1. Did it happen in Murano also? I haven't read any reports of it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare terrydtx Posted February 22, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) On our last 3 post covid cruises Murano has only offered warm water lobster tails (AKA Caribbean spiney lobster) and they are nowhere as good as cold-water New England Lobsters and for lobster lovers they can be very disappointing.

My Celebrity App for our June Equinox cruise shows the following for Murano entree and no extra charge mentioned: "Murano Lobster, cognac flambeed warm water lobster tail, fresh basil applewood smoked bacon, Dijon cream" Edited February 22, 2023 by terrydtx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine also doesn't show an extra charge. Considering that they raised the price in Murano and also started adding on the gratuity the above post had me wondering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeRick Posted February 22, 2023 #14 Share Posted February 22, 2023 As of a few weeks ago when we went to Murano on Equinox, there was no extra charge. The lobster tails were very small. A lot of people ordered two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dw ordered the "lobster" (or the crawfish tail that they call lobster on Celebrity). Good preparation and presentation at the table, but very small. The size of perhaps a large prawn at best.

Next year we are doing a Boston to Montreal cruise, and I am looking forward to some great cold water lobster and scallops at our ports. Not holding out much hope we will get any on the ship.

We have a family place there. Our first stop is Portland. I would love a real lobster roll, not the phony ones in Luminae with hardly any lobster and mostly mayonnaise. We were last in Portland in 2001 and got these for a lobster festival and it was awesome. Our friends who lived there did a real NE Lobster and muscles bake, with a huge cast iron pot over a wood fire. The lobsters he bought that day from a lobster fisherman, and it spoiled us from lobster any where else. Nothing like lobsters in NE, thanks for the help.

There are other good places too. https://www.beckysdiner.com/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold water lobster with claws is in the lobster family. The Spiny or Caribbean lobster served by Celebrity has no claws and is in the crawfish family.
