cruzinnluvinit Posted June 25, 2007 #26 Share Posted June 25, 2007 The last time I had lobster in the diningroom it's was inedible. Cooked wrong and just didn,t taste right. Sent it back and was bought another....one taste and pushed it aside. Asked to have the prime rib brought instead.I was looking at the menus for my next cruise and I will have something different. "VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE LOBSTER"......:mad: I'm going with the "supreme on LI duck and try a piece of Lobster on the side..... That sounds great. What an idea.

Barkingowl Posted June 26, 2007 #27 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Port Canaveral 5/12/07 Elation... I don't remember the lobster being excessively salty, just overcooked & dried out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eponym Posted June 26, 2007 Author #28 Share Posted June 26, 2007 On the Paradise we had to send 3 of our lobsters back. Got new ones and they were great. On Liberty awesome the first time however that was in europe where things area done to a higher level. Sounds like we should have kept asking for additional replacements until they got it reasonably right. It was such a turn off. To keep reordering the entree or having to switch around to other entrees throws the dining cadence off. I would say that these are supposed to be professional chefs and Carnival’s business is the Hospitality Industry (Hotel, F&B and Entertainment). I would really hope/expect that they would correct the problem going forward. There was NOTHING sweet about the Lobster served on the Paradise.

Rob42 Posted June 26, 2007 #29 Share Posted June 26, 2007 almost all lobsters bought by Carnival are Rock lobster not maine lobster. A Rock lobster will be tough and sometimes stringy if not cooked properly but I must say for the amount of lobsers they serve on any given cruise I think they do a good job.

kml2000 Posted June 26, 2007 #30 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Our lobster tail on the Glory was a little salty. I am not picky and did not find it inedible. We ate every bite and enjoyed it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eponym Posted June 26, 2007 Author #31 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Our lobster tail on the Glory was a little salty. I am not picky and did not find it inedible. We ate every bite and enjoyed it. :D Thanks for the report. A little saly, or salty is not too uncommmon in the mass market. Overwhelmingly salty is out of control. I have eaten alot of lobster in my day and know sweet from salty to out of control... Looks like it may be isolated to a West Coast Supplier or Paradise specific issue.

eponym Posted June 26, 2007 Author #33 Share Posted June 26, 2007 my nephew said America is really bad about advertising something one way and giving another. In Japan he said they have a picture on the menu or in the window and that is EXACTLY how you get it. He said his wife (Japanese) was amazed that restaurants get away with the misrepresentation. Too bad they don't bring it to your table looking like the commercial sometime. Linda Linda, Do you work for Carnival or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzinnluvinit Posted June 26, 2007 #35 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Linda, Do you work for Carnival or something? No. I am a house wife. I was talking about all restaurants. When did you ever get a burger that looked like it did on tv? They show dishes with around 20 shrimp on it comes with 5 to 10. Same with TV dinners. Take a look next time.

Fred Hey Fred, The tail they were serving would have raised your blood pressure to the point of cardiac arrest right at the table....

Cruise-Crazy Posted June 27, 2007 #39 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I was on the Triumph in May, had THREE lobsters... Not salty at all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan40 Posted June 27, 2007 #40 Share Posted June 27, 2007 The lobster served by Carnival is usually good for what it is. But it is frozen tropical lobster tails and they are broiled. In the space of a minute, they can go from undercooked to good to tough and dry. But even if served at their perfect time, they cannot be compared with fresh live Maine lobster. They are just two different foods with part of the same name. Its like comparing steak with squid. too different for comparison. To me the cruise lobster is always a little tough, stringy, and iodiney but Barb likes them. So I order surf n turf and give her the lobster since she would never order two. Never heard the too salty complaint tho. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIPBY40 Posted June 27, 2007 #43 Share Posted June 27, 2007 NCL was the best for me.....superb....JMO...scrum de le yum! Now (Carnival) I tend to order the prime rib AND the lobster.....how can you freak up prime rib....I dont know if its the novelty of having "lobster" wooooooooo or actually knowing how the taste and texture should be.....if its not good to your liking dont be shy and send it back! It really should be to your liking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so salty that is was not edible. 2 said that there's were perfect. I did notice that it was a problem foir several tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peto Posted June 27, 2007 #48 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Glory mid June. Lobster sucked enough that I felt justified in asking for a steak. It was overcooked. what's really sad is that was the only night I dinned in the dinning room that they got my order right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
