Saturn Sky Posted March 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2019 On lobster night are they also served in the carnival buffet? I remember that on one cruise we got lobster in the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyislandwilldo Posted March 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I don't recall seeing them in the buffet. It might be ship specific. Are you limited to how many you can take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterbean1000 Posted March 26, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I've never seen it on the buffet, but then again, I'm always in the MDR on lobster night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted March 26, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I doubt that will ever happen again. When it becomes easier to get them, people will grab more, consume more, and waste more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summersigh Posted March 26, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 26, 2019 If CCL put lobster on the Lido Buffet they'd need "Lobster Police" just like the "Bacon Police" already in place at breakfast. 👮♂️🥓 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen lobster on any Carnival buffet, but have read on another cruising website that it does happen on lines like Princess and HAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankinuk Posted March 27, 2019 #15 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Goes to show taste is very subjective. I will always pass on the lobster, I find it over rated. My sister has been cruising since the 80's, back in the day lobster was quite common on almost all cruises, now not so much. She also misses the midnight buffet, she still enjoys cruising but the entire industry has changed in the last 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am a first time cruiser, unable to answer that one for you. Perhaps some of the cruise veterans here could chime in. My sister almost exclusively cruises RCL, she has some great pics from her early cruises of the midnight buffets, real elaborate spreads, almost a work of art!!

It is usually served on the first elegant night in the MDR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last experience with ordering lobster was abysmal. The texture was rubber and I am positive that my boiled "croc" would have delivered more flavor.

dmdiver Posted March 27, 2019 #20 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I've never seen lobster at the buffet, but I'm always in the dining room on lobster night. I've always enjoyed mine, as have my travel companions. As far as I know, you can still order as many as you like. You sure could in 2015 & 2016.

I just don't get the whole lobster thing lol I mean to each their own, it looks like a brain coming out of that poor creature which has been drawn and quartered.

Me too, I actually prefer shrimp and scallops over a lobster tail. Although I have enjoyed whole steamed fresh lobster a few times before when in New England, but the tails on cruises don't come anywhere close to that experience. 10 hours ago, yankinuk said: My sister has been cruising since the 80's, back in the day lobster was quite common on almost all cruises, now not so much. Lobster was more common period back then, but like with some other seafood, due to increased demand, over fishing and new regulations, the availability isn't what it used to be and that increased prices and of course that caused lobster on a cruise to be less common. 12 hours ago, scpirate said: No lobster .your lucky if you see a shrimp on lido. I must have been lucky then on my last two cruises when we ate dinner there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naxer Posted March 29, 2019 #25 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I've never seen it on the buffet. Someone mentioned lack of shrimp? For my cruise in February, shrimp was available every night in some form at the Lido buffet, most often breaded and deep fried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
