jimdod Posted December 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2016 On formal nights I find that they have some foods that are not found in the buffet. Things like Escargot. What I heard is that you can ask for them in the buffet and they will get it for you. Anyone ever experience this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pris993 Posted December 15, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 15, 2016 We always need dinner in the diningroom, so have not tried to ask for any special at dinner time in the buffet. But have asked for items not on the buffet at lunch time...if they had them they would get them for us. Take a while but not an issue for us. Does not hurt ask...

pris993 Posted December 15, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Oh, for got to mention, if they got something we requested I tip on the spot in cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted December 15, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Should be plenty of escargot to go around. On our last two cruises we were the only people at our table (both times a table for 8) who ordered the escargot. The other people were not at all interested in putting snails in their mouths. Their loss... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medsed Posted December 15, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 15, 2016 No escargot or lobster in the buffet, sorry! During our Ruby cruise this past March there was lobster on the buffet. Lots and lots of lobster on formal night, we were very surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted December 15, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Was that while they were serving it in the MDR? Yes it was. I told him I had them in the MDR. He did not want to go to the MDR that night so he missed out. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cancan Posted December 16, 2016 #17 Share Posted December 16, 2016 What night do they have the seafood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted December 16, 2016 #18 Share Posted December 16, 2016 What night do they have the seafood? Not any special individual night but they always had fish or shrimp almost every night as I recall. I remember seeing my wife eating salmon almost every other night. Sometimes they had spicy cooked shrimp other nights it was just seasoned lightly, other nights it was cold. They had one fish or another almost all the time, lunch included.

Sillyjilly Posted December 17, 2016 #22 Share Posted December 17, 2016 No escargot or lobster in the buffet, sorry! Last cruise on the Ruby they had escargot and lobster in the buffet. Certainly not the norm, but I sure enjoyed it! Hope they do it again in January.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigchid Posted December 17, 2016 #23 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) On our last Ruby cruise we found escargot in the HC on formal nite. Didn't see any lobster though, may have just missed it. I looked for it on our recent Island Princess cruise with no luck.

Sillyjilly Posted December 17, 2016 #25 Share Posted December 17, 2016 How did they serve them? Possibly in a special bowl? Yes, I believe smaller than in the dining room if I remember correctly. Also, the lobster ran out constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
