Mark_K Posted August 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2023 On Solstice in June I only got one, but it came with a steak, so I wasn’t complaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted August 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2023 You can have more than two but they generally don't bring out more than two at a time initially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ask for two?

zitsky Posted August 15, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2023 In Blu, is it the good lobster or the bad lobster? Cold water, warm water? Isn't cold water "better"? I still don't understand why people like it so much. But I've been forcing myself to try it. From the University of Maine website: Lobsters are also cannibalistic and sometimes will eat other lobsters. Even lobsters like lobster!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinBanka Posted August 15, 2023 #9 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Every time I have been in Blu they have always given me two without me requesting and usually ask if I want another. Same in Luminae. And yes it is the warm water lobster not the good stuff from Maine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted August 15, 2023 #11 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I ask for melted butter instead. Sauce when I tried it was bland and added nothing to the flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinBanka Posted August 15, 2023 #12 Share Posted August 15, 2023 You can ask for the MDR lobster with butter instead of the one served in Blu. I have done it many times with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, these days you never know if it’s a supply chain issue, a training issue, or a policy. Edited August 15, 2023 by Mark_K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea. The main value of those lobster tails is as an excuse to eat butter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "lobster' is the tasteless warm water lobster. You have to ask for melted butter to give it some taste. Won't eat a second but have been offered numerous times.

phoenix_dream Posted August 16, 2023 #20 Share Posted August 16, 2023 On another thread people were posting about being charged for a second lobster in Luminae.

Reading this forum, it does seem as though Celebrity's left hand does not know what it's right hand is doing. It also seems as if those two hands might not be on the same planet.

papadave Posted August 17, 2023 #24 Share Posted August 17, 2023 The photo is the original post is not a pair of spiny lobster tails, but a pair of North Atlantic (Canada, Maine) lobster tails. I'm not sure who had the "bad" warm water lobster, but it was not the person who took the picture in the original post. Blu does, overall, have a somewhat lighter menu, if only from an environmental standpoint. Less red meat, a greater variety of vegetables, less deep-fried food. Maybe lower sodium, but I'm really not sure about that. If they went much further, people would be complaining about food quality, as it is harder to make a flavorful meal using little to no fat. For some people, every cruise starts with a big, juicy piece of prime rib. I think that's the type of thing Blu plays down. I've had some really good meals in the MDR and some really good meals in Blu. I, generally, prefer the smaller dining room with a better staff to customer ratio, but find both venues to have some better points. Happy cruising everyone.
