Is this a new cutback, lobster only on sailings of 7 nights or longer, none in Asia, Europe or Australia?

[NutsAboutGolf]

Haven’t seen thus mentioned but I may have missed it

If true, all the more reasons why we don't take cruise shorter than 7 nights. 😉

Lobster was served in the MDR on the 2nd chic night just over a week ago on our cruise that left Sydney 2nd Jan.

Could be the reply posted was incorrect or that the ship was already provisioned with lobster so they served it.

As usual, the only consistent aspect of policy changes is the inconsistency… 🙂

More recent datapoints are welcomed to get to the bottom of this, one possibility is they’re exhausting existing supply

“Additional lobster tails in Blu remain complimentary”, that’s new to me

The current cruise on Eclipse still has this on the menu, I wonder just how many they still have in the freezer… 🙂

$20 per lobster tail? I missed the change from $16.99 + grat.

[Mark_T]

To be fair, the current cruise left from New Zealand rather than Australia…

That’s just the usual inclusion of tips in cruises out of Australia/New Zealand/UK

$16.99 X 18% = $20.04.  Unless something changed, in Australia they don’t break out grat separately, they include them

Thanks for sharing.  This seems definitive, but look what I found on the peasants' MDR menu for my upcoming cruise on the Summit in February (day 3 of a 5-day charter out of Miami, FYI):

Well one thing they are consistent with being is inconsistent.

 

Is the Europe thing a new change because when I was on there was lobster. I have a 4 night cruise coming up in the next few weeks so will be interesting to see what they have

[cruisemom42]

 

I love how they say "We do not serve complimentary lobster in Europe, Australia or Asia" as if they had never done it.  Talk about a poker face.

 

Yes, they have served complimentary lobster in Europe....until now.  I had it twice on BTB Connie sailings in the Med in October 2022.

It says lobster “entrees” not lobster tails. 

[PineappleTraveler]

I will be heartbroken if there are none on my 5 night. At least put one in a specialty menu for me :(. Still shows up on my app menu for April but that's next to worthless information.

[emmas gran]

We have Rome to Sydney 40 nights part of the 52 night cruise, so I guess no lobster for us!!

[Ex-Airbalancer]

Does mean Transatlantic from NA to EU have lobster but EU to NA does not ?🤔😉

[mayleeman]

$20.04 rounded down to $20?  So they aren't scrounging for every penny as some have claimed!
