Lobster off of premium menu in MDR?

[globrcircler]

Anyone tried this? It appears there is a $29 upcharge. Is it worth it? Less then 2 weeks to sail away for me. Appreciate any answers.

I believe it is a whole Maine Lobster instead of the warm water "tail" they serve on formal night. Ive read pretty good comments on it :) Probably not worth it to New England people that can buy fresh lobster for 3 bucks a pound :D but likely much better than the included tails they give you with the Fishermans Platter.

I've had it twice. I found it very good--it is a whole lobster, split. More than enough for one person--I actually shared mine both times with DD. Is it worth $29???? Not sure, but nothing else appealed to me at dinner that night. ;)

If it is the cold water lobster, then it is worth it.

If its the warm water "Tail", then its to be avoided.

New England people are fortunate to have your fantastic shellfish .

Yum Yum Yum

What the H*LL did they do to that "lobster"? The only way to eat lobster is steamed with drawn butter. As a youth I pulled many a "sea cocker roach" and believe that isn't a Maine lobster.......or one born with no claws...... You can go on-line today and get a whole clam bake with fresh lobster over -nighted to your home for not much more per person than the $29.00 / person. Good luck and I would at least think it is better than that dreadful "warm water" lobster they serve now.;)

Yeah...I was thinking of splurging to get the lobster on my upcoming cruise, but that picture has made me decide otherwise.

I do have to say that this is what i would be expecting to see if ordering the 29.00 whole lobster in the MDR.

 

Thats not even close! Where are the claws? :D

 

[reallyitsmema]

Not sure what they did to that lobster in the first picture:eek: I would also expect something like Ryan posted, or even the big sister of what Ryan posted.:D

My wife ordered the Maine lobster off of the chops menu back in December.

It was huge, split and had the claws. She said it was very good. I thought it was the same as the mdr one but now I don't know after looking at the post 3 pic above

Umm that lobster looks a hundred years old with something nasty on it lol. Would put me off my dinner if someone at the table was eating that :D:D:D

Look like something from the film Aliens!

LOL! That's what I was thinking Joe. It looks like they tenderized it with a mallet and threw it on the griddle. :D

 

Seen enough snow yet?

On EN in January the tails were cold water tails not Caribbean Lobster.

That first picture does not look like any lobster the I have seen coming out of the Bay of Fundy. The second picture looks like what we can get off the boats here.

[lara68]

We'll be on the Quantum in April. Does the Grande offer it on their complimentary menu each night?

[LovesCruising]

That picture was awful! YUCK!

[searoses]

That poor faux lobster looks like it was run over by a truck!.....

[MACruisers]

As a Native Bostonian that spent his summers in Nova Scotia, the lobster in that picture looks DISGUSTING and I would beg each and every one of you to NOT pay $29 for it!!!!!!

 

The second picture is a Lobster, but not worth the price.

I am hoping that the lobster pic from the MDR is not the one people normally get when paying the premium for lobster. I hate lobster (I am a horrible Maritimer), but I have seen enough of them to know that is not what one should like. I just showed it to DH, who LOVES lobster, and he said he would not ever pay ANYTHING extra if that is what they are serving.

My goodness! 😝 lest I ruin anyone else's appetite, I'll disable the link from photobucket!!!

Sorry about the negative responses. I really appreciate your answer and the pic. I will decide about the lobster once I am aboard, maybe some evening when nothing appeals. I asked your opinion and you said in your opinion it was good. I got what I asked for. Thanks for responding.

While we were on our Panama Canal cruise, my husband purchased the Premium Lobster. It was small & chewy. The lobster that was served off the regular menu the last formal night actually looked bigger & better.:rolleyes: Glad we used OBC for it!!!

Great value to an Aussie. We pay a fortune for 'Crayfish'.

Yes it was a cold water lobster - with claws. And it was great. Tender and sweet.

 

I will have it again next week!

Don't worry, when i take over the country and it becomes Jedi-Stan, that's exactly what I'm going to do. It will only be permitted steamed, with butter.
