I am unable to understand the obsession with "Lobster Night" on a cruise ship. I can hardly believe there is a gigantic tank full of thousands (because that's how many passengers there are) of live lobsters toodling along the seas nervously awaiting their fate. Most likely they are pre-cooked and frozen and reheated at service.

 

Why in the world would anyone be excited and anticipating this? A frozen, dried-out crustacean produced in a mass-market manner?

 

Why in the world would this be a "feature" of Formal Night, as I usually eat my lobster in a tee shirt and jeans because it's going to go all over the place? Do you get a bib for your tuxedo?

 

When I want a good lobster I go to the local fishmonger and take it home and cook it myself. I might even drink a delicious Colt 45 with it. But at least I know my lobster is FRESH!

I never got the lobster deal either? I never have liked it and have had it at some very fine restaurants. Give me crawfish anyday. At least they have flavor. I've always said that most people don't really like the actual lobster meat anyway, they like the melted butter. You could probably serve them some boiled shoe leather, but as long as there is melted butter to dip it in, they would eat it and LOVE it.

Welcome to the thread and I would like to agree with you about the cost factor of the Olivia cruise vs the main stream cruise lines. I'd much rather cruise atleast twice a year than once and be with all Lesbians.

 

We have thought of cruising out of New Orleans how is the cruise terminal there?? Thought it might be nice to spent a few nights in your town before cruiing out some day.

The cruise terminal here is brand new and very nice. The parking garage is on the top floors of the terminal. New Orleans, at least the touristy areas, are the same as they were pre-Katrina. Much of these areas weren't even damaged during the hurricane, but the ones that were have been rebuilt and in many cases, it's nicer than it was before Katrina. I welcome you to the city and hope if you ever do come, that you do stay and enjoy yourself.
