missy428 Posted August 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2014 While paroosing the NCL board I saw that NCL is starting to cut lobster from its menu, does Carnival still have lobster? I'm going on the Splendor in 8 days (and I'm painfully excited) I would be a little bummed if there was no lobster but hopefully there will be other types of seafood...

And you can have as many as you want. Some have had marathons anywhere from 15 to 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catrin Posted August 4, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Yes, lobster is still on the menu! actually only the tail is available the rest of the lobster is no where to be found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyancho Posted August 4, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Lobster on every carnival cruise regardless of length. Last cruise the waiter brought me a second one that I didn't even ask for. Of course I ate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not_Done_Living Posted August 5, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2014 i would think with the wholesale cost of lobster (and shrimp) being down these would be promoted more rather than removed from the menu --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autofan Posted August 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Like another poster said, with the price of lobster being what it is, I can not understand why anyone would be taking it off of the menu. Even Golden Corral is getting in on the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATHENA3 Posted August 5, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Cruise ship lobster is not very good at all. But to those that like it enjoy. Maybe I got the better taste for our New England lobsters.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missy428 Posted August 5, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Cruise ship lobster is not very good at all. But to those that like it enjoy. Maybe I got the better taste for our New England lobsters.:) I live in nyc, I've had Maine lobsters they sell them live in my supermarket. There's a New England seafood spot in Greenpoint Brooklyn with a Connecticut Lobster Roll I'd sell my first born for with its huge prices of claw meat *Homer Simpson drool* That being said, I'm a seafood junkie. I will gladly take unlimited quantities of free rock lobster tail and be very happy. Even if they serve it on cruise elegant night and I have to put on heels to get it....

mapsmith Posted August 5, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Maine or Rock lobster ?? More like an enlarged Crawfish. Most Cruise ship Lobsters are variants of the Caribbean Lobster. Not really any claws, but big tails. On the last couple of cruises I have ordered Surf and Turf, because the steak that night is better tasting than the lobster.

Missy I’m also a seafood junkie. I would prefer a nice seafood dinner over any steak dinner. But not ship seafood. Enjoy your cruise and eat as much lobster as you can eat. Hopefully you’ll eat them all before my next cruise. Just leave me a hamburger.:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyancho Posted August 5, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Is the lobster at dinner or specific restaurant? Lobster is served in the main dining room on the first elegant night. Despite the reviews on this thread, it is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMama7 Posted August 5, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 5, 2014 As mentioned already, lobster is served in the MDR on elegant night. You can also order lobster in the steakhouse and the quality is soooooo much better than the MDR lobster. I ordered the Turf and Surf in the Magic's steakhouse and it was the best steak and lobster that I've ever tasted. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocF Posted August 5, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 5, 2014 For what it is worth, I do not eat that close relative of the cockroach. That being said, the current menus seem to indicate the lobster these days is Maine lobster, not the spiny lobster of the Caribbean. This is subject to change as Carnival requires supplies of incredible quantities of all foods. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missy428 Posted August 5, 2014 Author #20 Share Posted August 5, 2014 What is the name of it? Is it a dine in place? Lobster Joint, there's one in Greenpoint and one in Manhattan. You go up, order and they give you a number and you pick a table. They have a great backyard, the food is good and parking is easy to come by (at the Brooklyn location). They have tequila lemonade by the pitcher for $28 and it's literally the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
