Where's the Lobster!!?

[Hackpba]

Just had an awesome time on the Monarch of the Seas, even though it rained on us everyday but the departure day. BUT I had 4 new cruisers with me and bragged to them about Lobster night. WELL, on the last night of the cruise and still no lobster I asked our server and he said they were no longer having lobster night but you could order a whole lobster for $25!

 

Is this something new or have I missed something?

 

As I mentioned we did have a great time on the Monarch. It did not have all the new things like we had on Freedom last year but we all had a good time. We saw very little signs of wear and the crew was very hospitable.

Lobster has not been served on 3/4 night cruises for years. We did have it on a 5 night Enchantment cruise though.

i would guess it's because of the shorter cruise, but that's just me.

Good to know, they just said that Royal was doing away with it. Had me worried!

It also varies tremendously in quality...

 

Can be deliciously moist...

 

Can be dry, tough and chewy...

 

No guarantees!

Just had it on our 5 day Explorer cruise, and it was good! :)

We just had it on Freedom last week, it's still on the longer cruises but has not been on 3/4 nights in a long time.

It has been a long time since they had lobster on the short cruises.

 

As is, I never understood why folks get so touchy about lobster on a cruise. It has never been all that great.

We just returned from a b2b2b on Radiance to Alaska. Lobster was served on the last night of week one and two and then on the second to last night on week 3. Why the change on the last week I have no clue.

 

The tails were huge and prepared beautifully.

There is never lobster on any of the med cruises , I have no idea why .

Really? Glad I learned this before our cruise in a couple weeks. Thanks!

I hardly ever order seafood on a cruise. Being from Maryland, I pretty much eat it on a regular basis and it's no big deal for me.

The only time I have had lobster on a royal ship is on Freedom doing an eastern Caribbean cruise , it was served on formal night .four other cruises on royal around the med , no lobster on any of them .

We cruised around the med with P&O once and they served lobster on the formal night , does make me wonder why royal don't serve it on the med cruises .

As previously stated the 3/4 night cruises do not have lobster night and yes you can purchase lobster every night off of the specialty menu. The lobster available for purchase was new to me.

I find it depends upon where the lobster comes from. If it's Caribbean rock lobster I pass (tough, dry, salty and chewy) but if it's maritime, PEI, Maine area it's so sweet and moist. The best lobsters in the world.

You lucky duck! I'd love to partake of fresh inexpensive seafood on a daily basis.
