No.

Thank you!

If it was actually lobster and not southern crayfish I could understand

On the Apex two weeks ago. Just asked my wife about the butter with the Lobster as I thought she’d made a similar comment.  She affirmed that she was shocked why the drawn butter was so salty. 

I was wondering if anyone else would comment about it.  Wow, maybe it isn't a screw up but hard to believe.  The only other thing I was thinking was that the salt settled to the bottom of the pot that they dumped into the serving bowl or something like that.  Anyway, we'll see if anyone else comments.

It's X's own fault, now that the ribeye, prime rib and wellington are gone, the lobster is the only premium food item left to complain about 😅

Need to find a new cruise line

If X is the self-proclaimed "Culinary Brand", than Virgin should be known as the "Great-tasting and Great-Selection Culinary Brand"

While the premise was if lobster costs $$$ retail at a discount club store it should cost the cruise ship restaurant even less and therefore the extra tail fee of $16.99 + 18% pure profit

 

However, to play off your actual comment...Try an AWFUL mast grill hot dog, you'll be begging for a discount club store's hot dog...lol

I like the hot dogs at the mast/pool grill.

Very salty butter- do they charge an extra fee for that too? 😊

Just got off Millennium yesterday.  The lobster, along with most entree portions (except the duck and steak Diane), were noticeably smaller. Here is a photo of our lobster.  Cooked well and tasted very good but definitely wasn’t enough for one person unless you prefer small portions. 

I would not complain as that looks like a nice sized shrimp but where is the cocktail sauce?

Ask for it as it usually (at least on Celebrity) isn't served with lobster.

Lobster?  I am sure that was a shrimp.

 No, I really do like cocktail sauce with my shrimp… it puts the ‘sauce’ in ‘cocktail sauce.’  And 5-6 of the ones pictured would make a good shrimp cocktail.

Some one needs to kill this lobster story . If you don't like the size   or hungry order some thing with it  .Simple fix

Or maybe Celebrity should step up and attempt to provide the experience they promote, which isn't a meal with one tiny lobster tail.

Yup...RCI has the exact same additional tail charge but swapped it from a smaller Spiny to a larger Maine tail...And X calls itself the culinary brand 🤔

Or you can just ignore this thread. 🙄

IMO, cocktail sauce on a lobster tail doesn't sound bad.  I like shrimp in drawn butter.

It is a miniature lobster designed for a kids goldfish tank. 🙂

Likely under the bag limit size 🙂

Maybe, but not illegal until one is caught!!  🙂
