Does Lobster Night in MDR also include Specialties on UDP?

[Project-College]

We have the UDP.  Can you get Lobster in the Specialty places on the night (without extra fees) when the MDR offers it?  If so, which Specialty on Oasis?

In my experience it's not a problem, but your server will expect a tip, or at least give off that vibe.

LOL.... that's cute.  The next question now is to find out what night is Lobster night on the 8/5 Oasis 9 Day cruise?

Have you actually experienced this. I never have had anyone show any expectations of a tip on a ship.

That's always an option but we are trying to 'space-out' the specialty places so that we hit them all to try.  We are not 'often cruisers' and this may be the last time we get on a ship for a couple years until the kids finish college.

Just ask your specialty server for a few lobster tails and they will show up.  No extra tip required but we always tip $10 in cash at specialty.

I usually plan where I'm eating for Lobster night which is usually Chops.  I always stop by during the day to make the request so they are not having to run to the main dining room when they are busy.  This way the get them before dinner and cook them at thr restaurant. Did this last week on Ovation

The waiter at Chops on the Oasis offered to get lobster for us without us even saying anything. We were a party of 5 and only one person wanted the lobster. The waiter got 5 for us.

Yes, I have. I would not have said that if it were not my experience. As I said, it's a vibe, they aren't literally putting their hand out. It's more about making it seem like they are providing an exception. Pretending they have to check, saying they don't usually do this (lol), and being extra solicitous. I'm not bothered by it but I know what's implied.

Use the Royal App and check the MDR menus each night.  The "Broiled Lobster Tail" will be listed under entrees.
