lobster tail in buffet

[cruise to live]

On the night they serve lobster tail in the mdr, do they also serve at the buffet?

[Orlando Vic]

I seriously doubt it.

[paul929207]

Not that I have seen

[eandj]

No. That's why some try to push the "formal" dress guidelines. They want the lobster..altho not that big a deal imo.

[IECalCruiser]

They will typically have the Beef Wellington at the carving station in the Horizon Court but not the lobster tails.

[Colo Cruiser]

Have not seen tails on the buffet.

Only lobster in the MDR. Last time we had lobster on Princess it wasn't served with melted butter. It was served with some type of sauce.

May 12 cruise on Golden to Alaska, on the second Formal Night, the Horizon Court served 4 oz. lobster tails next to the carving station. I had three tails and a salad. I guess I could have had seconds. After my dinner, I went to the dessert station and looked over to the carving station and the staff kept the white square tray full of lobsters. This was a first for me. I have photos, but I don't know how to post, sorry.

You certainly wont be missing anything if they dont serve them in the buffet. The last two times I had them in the dining room they were mushy and not very good. The huge shrimp served with them are excellent, and far better than the lobster.

I saw it several years ago, but not recently. It probably depends on if foresee having extras. When I saw them they were split and grilled. They were pretty good for frozen lobster. I liked them better than the ones in the MDR. As I said, though, I haven't seen them there in many years and I eat in the buffet often.

 

Some ships serve Beef Wellington in the buffet on a formal night, but there have been a few times they didn't do that lately, too. When asked, they said they don't do that anymore. Then, on another ship, I'll see it.

It was better when they had live lobsters in the Crown Grill. :(

We just got off from Caribbean Princess last week. This was a seafood lunch at the Horizon.

That looks good.

They would not be very good just sitting there.

I don't get all the fuss over lobster tails. Probably one of the most overrated dishes that Princess does. I had it a couple of times, but now I don't bother.

I must agree.

 

I love Lobster, but the frozen rubbery tails leave me cold. I might have one with my steak, but wouldn't miss it, if it wasn't there.

I agree wholeheartedly. Frozen lobster tail is NOT lobster in my book. You want lobster go to New England, Boston, Maine, etc and get fresh LOBSTER. It is not a formal night food. It is an eat with your hands, melted butter on your chin, and bib around your neck type of food.

You speak the Gospel Brother Mommypig! I'd love to get it in Maine, but thank gawd I live in the SF Bay Area where there are a couple of places that fly it from there. Otherwise, non-fresh, non-cold water lobster borders on blasphemy. Now, don't tell me the escargot is frozen....:eek::D

I'm pretty sure they use canned ones. You can buy them at Cost Plus. ;)

You're making me HUNGRY! :D

 

I've got a nice Fish and Chip Takeaway within 2 blocks of me, so I might take a walk over there, they've also got sit down service, and enjoy an early tea. I NEED to go to the supermarket, so I can multi-task the walk.

Sounds delish!

[berlingo]

Hi can Stag or anyone tell me when the seafood buffet was available please?

 

We sail the Carribean Princess next month and do not want to miss it!

 

Thank youx

There were tons of seafood at Horizon. The special gala one was near the end of the cruise. The date and time was posted on Patter. It was from 12:00 to 2:00. There is no need to go early to line up at the entrance. They refilled constantly. Everyday, there was always nice seafood dishes at the Horizon, such as this stew:

 

Or this. The sea scallops were huge. Most passengers were discipline.

 

 

Every evening, there was an oyster bar at Horizon.

 

 

The Solstice Arctic Circle on Caribbean Princess was the most memorable seafood meals. We did not over eat. We both did not gain weight after 16 days.
