islabahia Posted June 29, 2023 #26 Share Posted June 29, 2023 We make lobster tails several times throughout the year so definitely would not order on a cruise. We’re spoiled here in SW Florida…fresh seafood is easily obtainable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge, there have been no sightings of Maine lobster in any Celebrity MDR—included or upcharged. I had a Maine lobster a few years ago on Edge in the Fine Cut. That's the only time I have seen it. When we did Canada/NE on Summit a few years ago, they still served the crawfish on lobster night in the MDR. That was very disappointing. But we had great lobster for lunch in Halifax. And in Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in Portland. I’ve had claw meat in Eden on Edge so real lobster is on some ships, just not in the MDR. Do you remember where you had lunch in Halifax? I’ll be there for a port stop in August.

I don't remember the names but there are several places on the Harborwalk when you get off the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NMTraveller Posted June 30, 2023 #31 Share Posted June 30, 2023 This is one of the Royalfication changes that Celebrity has made that I like. With fewer choices on the MDR menu I can just say I will take the lobster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despegue Posted June 30, 2023 #32 Share Posted June 30, 2023 What do you expect from a cruiseline which has deteriorated so much that now the food onboard Carnival is superiour to the X MDR. Celebrity does not give a rat’s a$$ about their steerage guests, creating a 2 or even 3 class system like in the early 20’th century, where the lower class experience has nothing to do anymore compared to 15 years ago, while raising their prices anyhow. X is all pretend annd puts more emphasis on instagramming master personnel instead on focusing on the main responsibility: offering all guests an upscale and SAFE ( I have some stories about that also, but this forum is not suitable for these issues) cruise where all feel welcome and valued equally. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK. It seems like you need to find another cruise line that is equal class for all. Good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve sailed only inside and balcony on X and I always feel taken care of by the crew. I’ve sailed Disney and NCL before and the quality of X is way higher. My family has also booked (and can regularly afford) AquaClass and Suite Class but choose to sail in a regular class balcony most often because the experience is really fine. I guess I just want to say to newbies viewing this thread, everything is fine. Celebrity is still a good quality product. You don’t need to sail in a suite to have a great time with good food and service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many cruise lines are now using frozen crawfish ("lobster") tails harvested from a trench off the northwest coast of New Zealand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
