islabahia Posted August 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I’m lucky to live in an area where seafood is plentiful. 🦞 at Murano is fabulous though and we do enjoy that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was drawn butter if requested. The lobster was good for about 4 decent sized bites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have "lobster" on Celebrity, I need to soak it in a pool of butter. Then it tastes fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lamb was tough and not that good. The lobster tail was ok-good but not enough food for a main course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted August 30, 2023 #12 Share Posted August 30, 2023 RCI and Carnival give you the superior Maine lobster while X continues to give you the inferior Spiny lobster. I have reached out to the exec office twice (along with other requests) and X's social media and initial get a "I'll look into it and get back to you" response and when they get back are dismissive/evasive. Whomever I talk to I don't think they understand there are two major types of lobster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there is a charge for any extra lobster I think $16 plus tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webecruzin2 Posted August 31, 2023 #16 Share Posted August 31, 2023 The lobster looks fine, but what concerns me is the tiny amount of broccoli and melon ball scoop of rice. That's insulting looking. I'd put that photo on farce book along with a post that if you wanted to be insulted twice you'd have to pay 16.99 for the privilege. We've been cruising with Celebrity since it was still Chandris only because the food was so good. They had the best head chef that used only quality ingredients. They could make potatoes to die for and their bread sticks were addicting, not to mention their soups, mains and desserts were creative and so delicious. I sure hope we don't regret this 14 day T/A coming up. If we do, it will be the last on X. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marginally more expensive but significantly better. But no special pool for suite passengers if that is a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
