ijkh Posted May 5, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I love it...will there be any lobster dinners offered on our up coming Star Princess cruise to the Mediterrean in June? What if we go to the Sterling or Sabatinis? Are there any methods of getting extra lobster nights? I am not too interested in the 50$ balcony lobster dinner. That is just too much. Thanks, Ilene, lobster eater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauire Posted May 5, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Lobster!!!! While on the Golden 4/10 my husband & I ordered 2 dinners a piece when offered on the Traditional dinner menu. Mmmmm we had 8 lobster tails in all . . . & loved every bite. Enjoy. Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srphnx Posted May 5, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Lobster tail is customarily served on the Second Formal night, I guess the idea is that you aren't as likely to be a pig in your best duds.

pg. Posted May 5, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 5, 2004 On our April 17 th Golden cruise our waiter came around our table just after serving us our entrees ( lobster for us) he had another plate filled with lobster,and was offering us as many as we liked!!!! I had 2 hubby had 4 or 5 ( they aren't very large) They were delicious!!! We never asked for seconds he just brought them, plus we were doing personal choice dining so we had never had that waiter before. Yummy highlight of our dining experiences( oh that and the onion soup and cheesecake!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanetMarie Posted May 5, 2004 #15 Share Posted May 5, 2004 For DH and I, because we live in CT and get our lobster from a place out of Boston, the lobster on the ships simply do not compare. Don't get me wrong!!! I love lobster and still enjoy it aboard ship. But it's not like fresh New England lobster! Yummmm!

GloriaF Posted May 5, 2004 #16 Share Posted May 5, 2004 On a 15 day cruise, we had 2 lobster nights, and the lobster tails were much larger than I had remembered from the Grand. One lobster night was not formal, the other was.

srphnx Posted May 5, 2004 #18 Share Posted May 5, 2004 We are doing our first back to back this Fall, the menues won't vary from week to week so we will know exactly when to expect our red-shelled little friends. I manage a repectable 7 tails on my last sailing and there weren't small, I expect with training, I can improve.

JanC Posted May 5, 2004 #19 Share Posted May 5, 2004 The night before my hubby's birthday, we decided to order room service. We ordered a lobster dinner, it was not formal night, and we got it. It was delicious, and we did not pay $50/pp for it. WooHoo, cruisin' again in May 2004! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srphnx Posted May 5, 2004 #20 Share Posted May 5, 2004 No.. you do not pay for room service on any meal aside from gratuity, but it isn't served, it is brought. The pay per view dinner is actually served on your balcony, waiter and all from what I understand. [B]<FONT color=red>Alaska</FONT>[/B] Diamond Princess 05/04 ~~ Mercury 06/02 Rhapsody o.t.

marlinmike Posted May 5, 2004 #21 Share Posted May 5, 2004 JanetMarie- Does the "place out of Boston" sell over the internet? I've been looking for a reputable New England/Maine lobster supplier that I could order from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverboatgambler Posted May 5, 2004 #22 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Judging from this thread, if Princess wants to increase their business, they just need to change one of the alternative restaurants to a Red Lobster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srphnx Posted May 5, 2004 #23 Share Posted May 5, 2004 The food on Princess is a notch above redlobster, no downgrades if you please.

rc9000 Posted May 5, 2004 #24 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I know the $50 sounds extravegant for the lobster dinner on the balcony, however, if it includes the dinner, cocktails, French Champagne and a photograph on the deck, it brings the price down for a very special event. I'm just trying to find someone who has done this to see the details. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JannyO Posted May 5, 2004 #25 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Yes, I am very curious myself about this Lobster on the Balcony dinner. I have read several posts and now I'm really confused. I also read somewhere that Princess will not be charging for this feast??? Could this be true?? If it is the case, I feel sorry for the guys who will bring food to our room [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img]!! Even if they charge-it will still be fun....
