smduja Posted January 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hi everyone, Cruising on the Oasis in April for the first time. I am wondering if there is a specific lobster night? It's been awhile since I have cruised. TIA!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenofKrakatoa Posted January 9, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Formal night ("Lobster night" or "Captain's night") is typically the 2nd and 6th nights of sailing. That being said, WHEN the lobster is offered is up to the ship staff's discretion. Those are just the usual nights on a 7 day cruise.

garnetpalmetto Posted January 9, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Lobster is offered on the 2nd formal night as part of the Jasmine menu. On the Eastern itinerary, that's the sixth night and on the Western itinerary, it's the fifth. It's NOT offered on the 1st formal night (2nd night of the cruise, Saffron menu) at all.

UpcountryTravelers Posted January 9, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) On our Halloween cruise on Oasis, there was no lobster offered, any night in MDR. Edited January 9, 2016 by UpcountryTravelers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamesEM Posted January 9, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 9, 2016 When I was on the Oasis the lobster was not that good, it was a small warm water lobster that was chewy, the waiter brought me another that one was not any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langley Cruisers Posted January 18, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 18, 2016 When I was on the Oasis the lobster was not that good, it was a small warm water lobster that was chewy, the waiter brought me another that one was not any better. Yeah, I think most of us here would agree that the lobster offered in the MDR (included in your cruise fare, not the upcharge lobster) is definitely not very memorable. Having said that, many passengers enjoy it for what it is. :) It's not often that you order lobster in a restaurant so to be able to have several lobster tails for dinner on your cruise is exciting for many. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moopetguy Posted January 18, 2016 #11 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Grandeur's formal night on Jan 9 had the "fisherman's plate" which included a lobster tail -- it was surprisingly very good! I had three plates of that plus the prime rib :) I eat seafood regularly and have lobster at least a few times per year, so I am somewhat discriminating. It was actually the shrimp onboard Grandeur that was a bit disappointing to me (but expectedly so). The royal shrimp cocktail (which I had every night it was offered) was fairly bland and flavourless and other shrimp dishes throughout the sailing were fair to mediocre (e.g. garlic tiger prawns, shrimp in the Singapore noodles, breaded shrimp, etc.).
