davy jones Posted February 20, 2014 #51 Share Posted February 20, 2014 We cruised on a Canada cruise last summer. It happened that lobster night was on the day we docked in Portland ME. The tails that night were the best that we ever had on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valen9 Posted February 20, 2014 #52 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah, I like pickled herring too, don't remember seeing it onboard, pretty expensive also. Lox and swiss sounds like i gotta try it, i usually do capers, bagels are a little doughy on board but toast them ever so slightly improves them tremendously. Pretzel rolls sounds good also. Still trying to get my kids to eat the stuff, they won't touch it. Back to original ? does he Pearl carry lox and pickled herring? Thanks I haven't been on Pearl, but on Jewel and Gem the pickled herring was in the same cold station as the lox (well, smoked salmon), cheeses, and sliced meats. On the Jewel and Gem, that was usually the first station from the mid-ship entrance. If you see a tray of watery strings, then people like me got there ahead of you. :) I'm a terrible bagel snob, especially when cruising out of New York, and often skip bagels entirely at the buffet. We pick up REAL bagels on the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artist47 Posted February 20, 2014 #54 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Do people really go on cruises to eat lobster? I can't believe how many threads there are asking about lobster! If I want to eat lobster I go to my local seafood supplier and buy it. I do NOT book a cruise LOL!!!!! LOL...I don't think they will cancel if there isn't lobster, but they sure are obsessed with it arent they? Actually I think it is because many people do not live in areas where fresh lobster is available. I don't think they realize the lobster onboard is frozen just like their grocers at home. For the pax that come from Maine, I imagine this is a no-brainer. ;) By the way: when is the midnight buffet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xriva Posted February 20, 2014 #55 Share Posted February 20, 2014 By the way: when is the midnight buffet? I think it depends on what time zone the ship is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thephillykid Posted February 20, 2014 #56 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Can I get a slice of SCRAPPLE with my lobster tail? I can't go a whole week without some. The things that people cruise for is unbelievable. All I want is a week of relaxation and someone else to wait on me for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrgPizza Posted February 20, 2014 #57 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The things that people cruise for is unbelievable. All I want is a week of relaxation and someone else to wait on me for a change. That's what's so different about us all - I couldn't care less if someone waits on me, and I won't sit down long enough to relax on my cruise! So yes, the things people cruise for is unbelievable!

If I want to lay around by a pool and do nothing I can stay at home. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davy jones Posted February 20, 2014 #59 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Can I get a slice of SCRAPPLE with my lobster tail? I can't go a whole week without some. The things that people cruise for is unbelievable. All I want is a week of relaxation and someone else to wait on me for a change. I would prefer the scrapple with my morning eggs. If the scrapple was there, I would eat it. The same thing with the lobster. While the vacation relaxation is the main attraction, each person arrives with certain expectations about dining. I don't believe that it is the lobster itself, but the attachment that lobster night is a "special" night onboard. To many, the loss of lobster night would cross the symbolic "cutback" line that has been discussed by many on many cruise lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roquejo Posted February 20, 2014 #60 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Not lobster thread again... can we replace them with Alaskan King Crab legs or Dungeness crab instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanote Posted February 20, 2014 #61 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Not lobster thread again... can we replace them with Alaskan King Crab legs or Dungeness crab instead? I was thinking the same thing. How about some real delicacies: East Coast: Raw cherrystone clams Steamer clams Maryland blue crabs West coast: Copper River salmon Geoduck clams Kona Kampachi South coast: Barbequed oysters Key West pinks. Hogfish Stone crab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoneHPH Posted February 23, 2014 #62 Share Posted February 23, 2014 And the ever famous Rocky Mtn Oysters (yes I went there...heheheh). Still have yet to try them! Maybe Ocean Blue will, over time, add these species of shellfish, mollusks, and bivalves! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimS4210 Posted February 23, 2014 #63 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Can I get a slice of SCRAPPLE with my lobster tail? Now, that'd be awesome. Scrapple for breakfast on the cruise! Throw in some TastyKakes and a nice Italian Hoagie and I'm there... :D Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecaptain1969 Posted February 23, 2014 #65 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Well next year in April will be our first cruise ever and I'm probably going to avoid lobster night. Why? Having been to Maine for the real deal(the lobster festival each year is a MUST for lobster lovers) I can already tell that it will surely not be as good. My better half isn't a seafood person(I wish she was) so I'll choose to eat that stuff other places. Free is always a big attention grabber and like others I suspect that's the reason for the big draw. If I want lobster,I'll make it at home fresh from my local grocery store. TheCapt.
