To Crab Shack or Not to Crab Shack...

[Colo Cruiser]

We actually had king crab on the Ruby in February. But it had been frozen so long it was mushy. Yuck!

Having lived in Seattle for 23 years....

 

We found the crab to be over spiced. It definitely was not king crab, but possibly small snow crab.

 

To our taste (food is subjective), we did not return on a 15 day cruise....

Which ship was this on? I think the Royal only has snow. There are two different menus for the Crab Shack depending on the ship.

 

We definitely had king crab on the Ruby as we have king crab at every opportunity.

 

It certainly wasn't Tracy's but it was king.

Where is the Crab shack on the CB and how many times is it offered?

[bhopal21]

Caribill posted the Crab Shack menu featuring king crab but I can't put it into this thread. Maybe he will post it.

The ship was the Grand from SF to Hawaii....

I'm going to have to try it on the Crown in September.... Will have to park my husband somewhere though unless he can get the shrimp. That's the only seafood he wants to eat!!!

I've posted these before on other threads, but here are pictures of the Crab Shack food on my Star Princess cruise in December.

That appears to be the "Mixed Steamer Selection"

 

and we had just the King Crab Selection without the mussels, etc.

 

I still can't seem to get this large enough

I'm just not understanding which ships offer this and where. Can you tell me if this is offered on the Caribbean Princess? Maybe I missed something... sorry :confused:

Yes' date=' according to Sanibel Gal in post #18, it was offered when she was on the CB and it was held in Cafe Caribe, which is the aftmost section of the buffet. Happy crab-eating![/font']

Yeah King Crab!! Probably be $100pp and only 1 serving pp. :rolleyes:

 

Post #20, I believe, said it's $20.00 per person, and several other posts said they will give you more if you ask. :cool:

This was the first week the Crab Shack was open on the Ruby so hopefully things have improved.

 

And it was located at Cafe Caribe on that ship as well.

Is it safe to assume that now that they have these crab shacks, that they got rid of the the seafood buffets where they had the crab, shrimp, etc. (for no charge)?

[FunandSunPeeps]

Yes...I remember those great seafood sailaways...my guess would be that this replaced that activity! Anyway...I will be trying in this weekend!

That was a looooong time ago. :(

No

What a waste. We got a bucket to split. There was 1 cluster of crab legs for each of us. Took 2 hours to get our order. Will never go back!!!!

Was that all you were allowed to order? or was it your choice to only order one?

We didnt like it at all. Total waste.

While I didn't eat at the CS, I wasn't that impressed from what I saw. I do not think I would have liked it at all.....

When I was getting ready to order the waiter said 'everyone gets the same thing' and I got the mixed steamer. That is what I planned to order, so I didn't question him. On our menu the crab legs came with peel & eat shrimp. I don't like the peel & eat part, so I didn't choose that.
