Say it ain't so --- Limit on Lobster Tails

[fairweather]

On our recent Celebrity cruise, lobster night was 1/2 tail, 3 scallops & two shrimp. I didn't hear of any limit on the number of entrees one could have.

 

That being said - 1/2 lobster tail is ridiculous.

Indeed it is. :eek: Who comes up with such cheapskate ideas? It only makes the passengers angry and promotes ill will. You'd think someone from headquarters would have to approve any such knucklehead adjustments in menus before they are enacted.

 

This sounds like the ship couldn't get the right allotment from their usual supplier for that cruise. At least I hope that's the explanation.

That strategy might seem a little "fishy" to the waiter? My goodness, we passenger can be quite innovative when deprived of our favorite perks. Don't know how the cruise management executives ever keep up with us.

Eating lobster on a cruise ship is so amateur..

 

I agree. It is SO last century!:p

 

Pardon me while I throw this stick of butter behind my refrigerator to distract one.:eek::D

We have always found a way to survive with the cutbacks on cruise ships.

 

No more chocolate................thank God, means less time on the treadmill!

 

Limit on Seafood, Lobster tails, I don't eat seafood, I will donate mine to the cause (aka DH).

 

As long as I can cruise, I will be a happy cruiser.

I was slightly behooved by this as I have been on Carnival and Princess myself where I would have up 8 lobster tails. I love to eat, and I have no shame in it. I'm by no means overweight or obese (if that even matters), I'm actually in excellent shape (and use the fitness facility every morning and walk a lot while cruising). Every cruise, our waiter learns real quick that I'm an eater, and always has wonderful surprises for us.....(i.e. Arrive for dinner, he would have 6 plates of Sushi Apps (On Sushi night) ready for me; always have two shrimp cocktails ready for me every evening). Yes, we tip appropriately as my wife and i have both been in the restaurant business for a decade when we were in school and college.

 

I go on a cruise to eat, see some sights, and have a great time. I'm no food snob by any means, so lobster on a ship always taste delicious to me. I'll never forget our honeymoon cruise on the Caribbean Princess and they had crab legs....I couldn't tell you how many plates I ordered that night in the formal dining room. Another lovely couple we were sitting with were also indulging as we both were not ashamed nor should we. We pay just like everyone else.

 

Now, I feel a little leery from going on an RCI cruise, but seems like my parents just got unlucky due to an older, smaller ship possibly.

 

We love Carnival and never had issues with "drunks!" The price you pay for the value we get, can't beat it. Love to go on the Oasis one of these days as it looks absolutely stunning.

 

Thanks for all the replies.

Thing is ... the lobster tails are not very good anyway. :rolleyes:

I haven't gone back and read the whole thread but once you have had a fresh lobster you will realize your not missing that Much........you need to get out More

[Wilson]

I have not read the complete thread either, but I wonder if the limit was only for the first seating to make certain there were plenty left for late seating folks?

I have not read this whole thread so I hope that this is an original thought, perhaps Royal Caribbean should name their next ship Gluttony of the seas.

......and on the new ships the entire 1st deck is just reserved for the waste water treatment plant...........and more bad news for the gluttons.......one ply paper.........................:eek:

[stones902]

Thing is being from the Midwest we love having lobster. When we can find it here it's usually extremely expensive and typically not fresh. Having it on a cruise (whether from warm or cold water) is a real treat.

 

Now if you are talking steak or pizza....

Haha. I always say instead of the Vision and the Grandeur they should have just made one ship called "Visions of Grandeur".

We may have been on same ship as OP's parents. I had two very nice tails, and was offered more. Maybe because there were only two of us at a 10 top. :o

I like lobster, but have no urge to order it on the ship. Anyone can have my 2 allotted tails. :D
