Does Lobster ever appear on the main dining room menu?

Sailing the Dawn August 6 to Baltic. Thanks

no, not anymore. there might be some special occasion, or if the F&B people might have scored a surplus of lobsters in some port, then, maybe. but there is no “lobster night.” the only place lobster appears without a charge is in the haven restaurant and in NCL’s free at sea advertising.

Never, you can get it in Le Bistro for an upcharge of upcharge $25

[complawyer]

only if youre hallucinating, (sorry, couldnt resist)

[tony s]

Or if they play Rock Lobster in the MDR

[luv2kroooz]

No, never, not even a chance. If you want free lobster, you wouldn't want to sail NCL.

Go Cunard - whole Maine lobster in MDR

 

Otherwise, lobster tail paired with black tiger prawn onboard Carnival ships.  

 

 

NCL ... forgetaboutit.

Lobster was an add-on in Cagney's for $25. It was so small....not worth the $

I had one decent lobster on a cruise in the last 10 years.  It was actually in the Haven Restaurant about a year ago.

 

Had lobster on Royal, HAL, and Carnival.  Even lobster in LeBistro.  None of them were good…except the Lobster in the Haven Restaurant!.

 

I certainly wouldn’t make a special effort for any Lobster on any crisis line.

As others have said, if you want lobster, best shop elsewhere for a cruise line. MSC also had in surf and turf on the Meraviglia recently when I sailed. NCL upcharges for the lobster and lobster thermidor in LeBistro.

Lobster ravioli appetizer in the main dining room....a slight taste of lobster may permeate the sauce. I didn't find it particularly appetizing. Certainly no chunks of lobster. I last noticed it on the menu in March, 2023. Could be gone now. Might still be there.

i’ve had the so-called lobster ravioli… it’s not bad, but this is “lobster” ravioli in the same sense that the southhampton port is “london.”

Ok here is something that will make your head spin.  Back in 2010 when NCL was still having a "lobster night" it was not a feature on the Haven menu.  I remember the waitress in the Haven restaurant (Epic) tell us that if we wanted lobster they would bring us a plate.

Let that sink in for a moment.  The Haven staff was offering MDR lobster plates that was not on the Haven menu.

The best lobster I had on an NCL cruise was at a café in port when we stopped in Bar Harbor, Maine.  I ordered a Lobster Cobb Salad. 😋 It wasn't free or even cheap, but it was amazing.
