Lobster Tail-Formal night

[mnbruce]

Do they serve lobster tail on formal nights on the Princess ships,and if so is the main dining the only restaurant you can get it? We have been thinking about skipping formal night this time but my wife likes lobster tail even though we know the quality of the tails are just so so on most cruises.

It's usually served on the second formal night in the dining room.

Normally, lobster tail is served the secod formal night. It is only available in the TD and AD dining rooms.

IT was served on the second formal night on our Ruby cruise last month.

Teenee weenee tails yes.

Lobster tail second formal night only. We were offered more after we finished ours though, so size doesn't really matter. I have to say the prawns that are served with the lobster are very good.

Isn't lobster also served in the Crown Grill for a fee?

Yes, for an additional $9 you can get a real lobster. A 1 - 2 lb. whole Maine lobster or a 12 oz. Brazilian lobster tail, each with 2 choices of how it is cooked.

Had lobster tails twice on the Coral on 2nd and 3rd formal nights last week in anytime dining. Don't know what they had the first night as DH didn't have a jacket. We were AD.

Tails are included in the $25 fee.

For the live Maine or 12 ounce Brazillian/Aurtralian its a $9 up charge. And well worth it.

Come on, let's be honest.... Those shrimp were larger. :eek:

Just check the menus when you board....there's really no need to make arrangements too far in advance!

I almost always do the specialty restaurant on the formal night(s). I pay the extra for the lobster tail. I've never been disapointed. Really looking forward to lobster in early May. Of course I could easily go to Red Lobster here in town, and have it in May as well!:D

[cruiserbryce]

size aside it just seems better on a cruise ship:D

These are the ones I got included in the $ 25 fee in addition to my steak, yum.

 

Appetizer, Shrimp

 

Main Filet Mignon, my choice but could have been the larger steaks

 

Lobster tails and Prawns from formal night same as those included in Crown Grill charge

 

Side Dishes, shared for the table

I'm not sure what the other ships are doing lately but the Ruby had lobster on the second formal night and on the first night at the Horizon they served the lobster claws & crab legs along with cold shrimp. On the two formal evenings they had lobster claws & crab legs at the Cafe Carib.

I believe they also served crab legs in the dr one evening but I dislike eating them at the dinner table as they're to messy to contend with.

[Doug R.]

All this talk made me lust after some surf and turf. Luckily I have filets and lobster tails squirrled away in the freezer. :)

The pictures are nice but I assume these are not the ones served in the main dining room on the traditional seating.

I was on MSC, the lobster served on the formal night was awful, it was mostly bread crumbs, forgot what it was called.
