Harry_D Posted April 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2023 The last night of our cruise we’re in Victoria, Canada from 6 pm to midnight. Is this the night that they have lobster tail at dinner? We are definitely missing dinner due to a tour. Or do they do it the night before which is a day at sea? Thank you… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mahdnc Posted April 3, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Typically lobster tail night is 2 nights before the end of the cruise. It is never the last night of the cruise because the idea is that on that night you have packed all your Evening Chic clothing away in your suitcases and have them set out in the hallway to be picked up in preparation for disembarkation.

Thank you… Definitely would not miss a tour or change itinerary for what Celebrity calls lobster tail. Go into a restaurant that night in Victoria and order real lobster! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Wildcat Posted April 3, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Agree lobster is not the last night, but given the choice of a great shore excursion in Victoria and a warm water "lobster" - would always do the shore excursion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m from Florida so I actually prefer warm water lobster over a Maine lobster, but I’m glad to hear it’s on night six… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mahdnc Posted April 3, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 3, 2023 We have visited Victoria, but not as a port stop. It is a wonderful place although 6 pm-midnight is an odd time to me. Then again, Victoria in the evening may be magical. I hope you enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a required stop on the Seattle round trips to satisfy the PVSA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1025cruise Posted April 3, 2023 #11 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Violating the PVSA has a fine. And that $762 is per person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cruise ship that isn’t registered in the United States is required to visit at least one port in a foreign country or the cruise line pays a fee of $762 per passenger on the ship. that’s why the Alaska cruise I’m taking makes a short stop in Victoria, Canada. And it’s why all the cruises out of California stop in Mexico. Ships registered in the USA are not subject to that fine. I know, the cruise industry is weird… LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was waived temporarily for Alaskan cruises when Canada was shut down. The word "fee" confused me. It sounded like it was a fee associated with stopping at Victoria.
