SteelerCruiser Posted December 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2013 lobster tails will be offered on formal night but Have never seen crablegs on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgesst Posted December 21, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Agree with SteelerCruiser regarding the lobster on formal nights, but must say that I've seen crab legs on Disney ships - Magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virginiab Posted December 21, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Lobster is also available in the steakhouse, and also a turf and surf combination there with lobster and a steak of some kind. Crab cakes are available in the steakhouse as an appetizer, I think, and maybe in the main dining room as well, but not crab legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtaco Posted December 21, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Crab legs on princess but not carnival in my experience:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintsugarcube Posted December 21, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Mmmm, crab legs! Wish they were offered on Carnival!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted December 21, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Mmmm, crab legs! Wish they were offered on Carnival!!! If they did, they would be as small as what they pass off as Shrimp Coctail. I've seen salad shrimp bigger than what they serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky2 Posted December 21, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 21, 2013 We love, love, love crablegs but doubt that we'll ever have them on a cruise. Happy with a couple of lobstertail, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LALAFRANCE Posted December 21, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Princess has them on the seafood buffet, nice big ones!! Also alaskan king crab in the dining room 1 night:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodogkisses Posted December 21, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 21, 2013 My only food memory from a cruise on the SSNorway in the 80's is of the most delicious crab legs. My one and only cruise with crab legs. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted December 21, 2013 #11 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Didn't they have crab claws from Joe's Crab Shack for a trial period a few years back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintsugarcube Posted December 22, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 22, 2013 If they did, they would be as small as what they pass off as Shrimp Coctail. I've seen salad shrimp bigger than what they serve. Funny you should say that as I noticed the lobsters are smaller the past couple of years. Could have sworn they were bigger (or was that just my imagination?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have sworn they were bigger (or was that just my imagination?!) It's not your imagination. I read on here where they use to have Maine Lobster and now they get them from someplace else. They are a lot smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a lot smaller. Dont know where they come from but they do seem to be getting smaller and smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acosmo Posted December 23, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Dont know where they come from but they do seem to be getting smaller and smaller. Probably from China and "farmed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acosmo Posted December 23, 2013 #16 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Didn't they have crab claws from Joe's Crab Shack for a trial period a few years back? Yes, thanks for the memories! Joe's Stone Crabs were served as an entree in the Supper Club on the new-build ships, can't remember if the Triumph was the first or if it was the Spirit/Pride time frame.

irishnyc Posted December 23, 2013 #17 Share Posted December 23, 2013 It's not your imagination. I read on here where they use to have Maine Lobster and now they get them from someplace else. They are a lot smaller. The tails in the MDR these days are Caribbean/Spiny lobster. The tails are much smaller than Maine lobster, and they're not as tasty. I'd love to see Stone Crab on board, but that's so expensive I doubt it will ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marimojo Posted December 23, 2013 #18 Share Posted December 23, 2013 IMO, the lobsters are nothing to get excited about. They are small and chewy - even the ones in the steakhouse. I had the surf and turf twice in the steakhouse and the lobster was tasty, but small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampbabe Posted December 23, 2013 #19 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Yes, thanks for the memories! Joe's Stone Crabs were served as an entree in the Supper Club on the new-build ships, can't remember if the Triumph was the first or if it was the Spirit/Pride time frame. Joe's Crab Shack and Joe's Stone Crab are two COMPLETELY different entities. Stone crab claws are very expensive and Joe's Stone Crab is an institution in Miami Beach and Joe's Crab Shack is a crappy chain restaurant.

mintsugarcube Posted December 24, 2013 #20 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Okay, thanks. Glad to know it's not my imagination. I guess if the "downsizing" of the lobsters continue, they may end up being smaller than the shrimp!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman935 Posted December 24, 2013 #21 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Mmmm, crab legs! Wish they were offered on Carnival!!! I would pay extra for crab legs!!!!!!! Hint maybe carnival could up grade there food with them!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
