TominNC Posted February 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2019 We're sailing on Norwegian for the first time March 11 (5 days on Epic, yes I know about last week!) Does Norwegian have a night with lobster tail on the regular menu for the main dining room? Our last cruises on Royal had them. Mainly asking for my wife.

Starlight Durban Cruising Posted February 20, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2019 We were on NCL Star last month and did not see lobster tail on the menus. There were items such as lobster bisque, etc., but nothing where the majority of the plate could be considered a lobster tail specifically. Overall, we really enjoyed the variety and quality of food in all of the restaurants and dining rooms. Hope you enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini&Me_Cruisers Posted February 20, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The only lobster we saw was in Cagneys for an upcharge above what you already pay for specialty dining. I think Ocean blue also had it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLAHAM Posted February 21, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) On the Escape in January, the seafood restaurant had whole steamed lobster and grilled lobster tail on the menu, both without a surcharge. The grilled lobster tail was large and reasonably good, although the lobster flavor was diffused by the asian vegetables and (soy?) sauce piled on it. The whole steamed lobster was previously frozen, small and not particularly good. The lobster bisque in the MDR was OK -- as with all such bisques, it was made with the zest scraped off of lobster shells. NCL dropping its offering of previously-frozen warm water "lobsters"' was no loss. Rock lobster can be tasty if it is fresh and grilled right, but those weren't.

DMH15 Posted February 21, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Does Teppanyaki still have lobster in a combo? I have "upcharged" to deep six the other seafood in the combo. Wink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur brought us lobster plate for both app and main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaurus Posted April 9, 2019 #18 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) I just got off the Pearl on Sunday and there was no lobster. Our waitess told us they haven't had lobster on the main dining room menu on NCL in years. The last NCL cruise I took before this one was in 2012 on the Jewel and they did have it. I was disappointed b/c I was looking forward to it. 😞 . Edited April 9, 2019 by dsaurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAHAM Posted April 9, 2019 #19 Share Posted April 9, 2019 The fact is, they never had cold water North Atlantic lobster on the MDR menu (at least, going back the 12 years I have sailed NCL). They had had warm water rock lobster, an entirely different species. Now that can be tasty if properly grilled fresh. However, on MDR it was previously frozen and then baked. It was not particularly good and was nothing like a New England lobster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could care less they have discontinued it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted April 10, 2019 #21 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Sailed on MSC Yacht Club 2X. As much as I loved the experience (and I did), their lobster left a lot to be desired. Everything else was wonderful, though! Last good lobster (on a ship) I had was in Ocean Blue on Getaway. But, that was a while ago.
