BYO....Lobster tails?

[kangforpres]

DW and I are going on a 7 day Mexico cruise starting this Saturday, so we try to eat all the perishables in the house since we will be gone all next week. She reminded me 'don't forget the lobster tails in the freezer" while I do our meal planning.

 

So this got me thinking if we brought these on board in a cooler could we ask them to prepare them for us on the first dressy night of the cruise in the MDR?

 

Otherwise we got to pay the surcharge to add one of their lobster tails while dining in the MDR?

 

What do you think?

You could say you have allergies to lobster except these specific ones. 🤣 I am not aware of HAL allowing perishable food brought onboard (and to be cooked) post Covid. But you might ask ahead of time and mention a special occasion dinner you want them for. We were on Rotterdam last month and Pinnacle Grill ran out usual lobster tails but said they have small ones and would give 2. If I didn't know better they looked more like giant crawfish. 😉

I've heard of byob, but byof is a bit over the top.

Yes!  Let's all empty our freezers and ask the chef(s) to prepare what we've brought!  /S

I've heard of people bringing dirty laundry from home so how much different is food?  I wouldn't do it even I could drive to the port.

The lobsters will be fine in your freezer for another week.

Is this a joke?

While I'm no expert, I would say the answer would be no.  To have someone bring into the commercial kitchen something that has not come from an approved supplier would bring up contamination issues, etc.  If the lobster tails are in your freezer, they will certainly be fine there for another week.  Enjoy them when you return home.

I’m bringing a  50 pound pig. Who wants to join me at the pool?

Let me guess...  a chair hog?

Obviously a post just to stir the pot.

Oh we miss the days of Bar B Ques at the Lido pool. Gone before the pandemic due to "fire safety".

I cooked the 2 lobster tails last night for dinner, so I guess we will never know, and yes the post was a joke.

Yes, but did you have someone de-shell it for you? 🤪

This reminds me several years ago when my DH and his buddy caught an ugly grooper deep sea fishing off Carbo and had it frozen and trucked it home to Canada in the overheads on the plane. Got away this it too.

Didn't show up on the airport x-ray machine?

Just like the really excellent dessert flambes of old.

@kangforpresfish was in a cooler. Things were not so strict then. Going down to vacation cooler had pea meal bacon.  No all in-clusive.  Also had a small electric fry pan.

We were told that they were discontinued  because of the food temperature being a health issue.

Yea I've heard back in the day there were plenty of restaurants that would cook your catch for dinner in Cabo
