When do they serve Lobster or Prime Rib Epic

Generally on NCL ships, if there is a lobster night in MDRs, it's the first night (the newest, Breakaway class, ships seem to be exception to this from time to time). Other menus are decided by staff onboard so there is no set day for prime rib if it's even offered (there are 14 menus in total so there is a 50-50 chance that menu possibly having prime rib is not even used on a week long cruise).

Breakaway it's second night in the BUFFET Not the MDR

This thread is about Epic, not Breakaway.

 

Also I said "generally on NCL ships" referring that there are some ships with different situation. Also there have been reports from Breakaway that the lobster has been served in MDR this year (on the 12-night cruise(s)).

Just off the Epic today (2nd on NCL over 37+ from about all mainstream cruiselines).

 

1st night at buffet prime rib. 1st Night at MDR no prime rib? Clearly promoted PR in buffet tonight (they put a sign out in AM what theme was for evening)

 

2nd night at buffer lobster night. 2nd night in MDR no lobster? Promoted as "seafood night" with ZERO mention of any lobster. They would only give you one at a time.

 

Why does NCL make you go to the buffet for my fav foods when all other cruiselines serve it in dining room? My opinion is they post nightly menus for dining rooms...if anyone saw lobster they couldn't handle demand and crowds or sell paid dining venues. So they simply hide the fact that lobster is served.

 

Also be forewarned if you dine at Le Bistro that you are one deck below Speigel tent. We had constant pounding above us during entire meal. Manager said sorry can't do anything about it and said more insulation is on wish list for dry dock. Not a great response to complaint.

 

Hope this helps. We had a great cruise and really enjoyed entertainment. Food was middle of road, but plenty of choices for all.
