Lobster availability?

[Goodtime Cruizin]

We've always enjoyed Lobster on our past cruises. Typically on the 2nd formal night as part of the menu offering in the MDR. We're heading out in a few days for the Explorer in the Greek Isles and I'm hearing this is no longer offered on European cruises. Can anyone confirm this? Is lobster night a thing past the past these days as well?

There has not been a lobster night on non-US sailings in years.

There was lobster on Wonder last year in the med.

There was also lobster on Odyssey in the Med last year.  Looking in the app this year, it appears that included lobster is no longer on the menu.

Same here, I was on the Wonder two times last year:  once out of Barcelona and once out of Rome, both had a lobster night.

Anthem also had no complimentary lobster at any point during our 14-day Mediterranean Cruise in June. It looks like it is now only offered on sailings from US.

Walmart has them

My September anthem has no lobster. The menus look different too, for the better I'd say with themes such as a taste of royal classics. A taste of the world. Taste of Carribbean and a taste of the USA. Seems more of the old dishes are featured.

Never offered on European sails.  Shrimps were substituted.

As always, commentary is all over the map! Which is always entertaining.

Maybe not on your cruises.  But we certainly had it on Explorer back in June

I like lobster but the "Lobster Night" lobster is not all that!! I definitely wouldn't miss it if I didn't get it on a cruise. 

If you want a good lobster lunch or dinner look at one of the ports or a specialty restaurant. The specialty restaurants' lobster on most ships is better than the included lobster but not as good as other restaurants
