Rally Posted September 17, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2009 What night is usually "Lobster Night" on the PG? What ever night you like, if you give them 24-hours notice (like, the night before, at dinner =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted September 17, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I don't remember a "lobster night", particularly. If there is one, it would depend on the itinerary, and provisioning. Why don't you just ask when you board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted September 17, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Normally Lobster night is the 2nd night aboard ship. It also the same night when it is the Captains welcome aboard party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nizurc Posted September 17, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2009 We'll be boarding 9/26. Is lobster offered in any of PG's three restaurants? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Posted September 17, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2009 We'll be boarding 9/26. Is lobster offered in any of PG's three restaurants? Thanks. Yes. Just ask for it the day before. You can have it every night, in any restaurant, if you want, by asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nizurc Posted September 17, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Rally, thank you for the reply. DH loves lobster and escargots. Looks like we're going to have a wonderful cruise with some weight gain too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Posted September 17, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Rally, thank you for the reply. DH loves lobster and escargots. Looks like we're going to have a wonderful cruise with some weight gain too.... Don't get taken in by the "surf-n-turf" at Le Grill --- it amounts to a filet with a very small slipper lobster on top. Your DH will want the real thing, as served in L'Etoille and La Verandah. Just micely let the maitre d' know abut your preference the first time you meet him. By the way, if you prefer your lobster as room service, just let them know. Escargots shows up as a small appetizer at least one night, so better ask for that, too =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nizurc Posted September 18, 2009 #9 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Rally. Thanks again for more info. Must we order sashimi 24 hours in advance to enjoy w/our afternoon cocktails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't you type you wished you had done it on porpoise? :) Just not quick enough --- besides, if I had done that someone might have confused it with Nizurc's question abut sashimi, and that would have been cheesy, even for me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drifting_away Posted September 20, 2009 #16 Share Posted September 20, 2009 We were on the 10 day and our lobster night was on our overnight (9th day) on Moorea. Same as last year. :D It depends on your duration. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drifting_away Posted September 21, 2009 #18 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Lobster with vanilla sauce and it is delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJLDAWN Posted September 21, 2009 #19 Share Posted September 21, 2009 That sounds great. What kind of lobsters are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temcclendon Posted September 25, 2009 #20 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Dear PJLDAWN- Just returned from 2 weeks in Tahiti//Cook Islands on PG and "Lobster Night" was done on the Polynesian Night which was done towards the end of the cruise. It is Lobster with a Sweet Vanilla Sauce, however, you may get it with drawn butter if you like. The lobsters come from Australia/New Zealand where most of their provisioning comes from. The Lobster is not one of the better entree's at L'Etoile and the Beef and Fish Dishes were all outstanding. This was our 4th PG cruise and by far the BEST cuisine we have ever experienced on the ship. The food in L'Etoile was so good that the several nights we dined in La Verandah we noticed how empty the alternative dining venue was which was the total opposite from our cruise last year on PG. Hope this helps and have a fantastic cruise. I rate the PG a 100 on a scale of 1-10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdee Posted September 25, 2009 #21 Share Posted September 25, 2009 temcclendon, Was Dion the CD? Who was maitre in La Veranda? The food was good there last year but I agree that Etoile was better. Do you know who the Etoile chef was? We are a few weeks from our 5th PG in November so very eager to hear all the details. Thanks Miriam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJLDAWN Posted September 25, 2009 #22 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Thanks TEMCCLENDON for that report on the lobster and, most especially, the food in general ! Sounds great. We sail on 3 Oct, and will heed your advice. Patrick and Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipper2 Posted September 25, 2009 #23 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Whenever we were served lobster, it was the smaller spiny variety--pieces of tail meat rather than the whole thing. If other types were available, I did not see them. Perhaps others can chime in on whether larger varieties are available? (But don't think they would not be indigenous to the area so not so sure I would want them! :rolleyes: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elquailo Posted September 30, 2009 #24 Share Posted September 30, 2009 We're just back from the Sept. 12th sailing (did a post-cruise in an OWB in Bora Bora), and as stated previously there was an excellent lobster dish (tails) with tahitian vanilla sauce on Polynesian Night in L'etoile. I also agree about the cuisne having improved - we sailed on the PG 5 years ago, and both the variety and the quality of food have actually improved (amazingly) IMHO. The service is still exceptional too. Cheers, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
