Alifay Posted September 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I’ll be sailing the Eurodam later this month. I have reservations at Tamarind and Pinnacle Grill and will be eating in the MDR at night. If I want to get lobster once on the cruise, where is the best option?

We ate at Rudi’s on N Statendam and my lobster was so tough I couldn’t cut it. Server noticed and was going to replace but after that experience I just asked for grilled shrimp which they were glad to bring and did. My BEST lobster onboard was the MDR lobster. There was an up charge of $15 but SO worth it. I had it on a night when nothing else appealed. Will order again. It was delicious! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourWorldWithBill Posted September 16, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2023 My wife had the extra lobster in Canaletto; not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in AZ Posted September 16, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Best lobster I ever had was in the Pinnacle Grill on the Nieuw Statendam last October. Huge and very tasty, not over cooked and tender. It was an up charge but worth it I ordered the lobster in the MDR on the Volendam this past May and was very disappointed. And it was also an up charge. Edited September 16, 2023 by Sharon in AZ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare WriterOnDeck Posted September 16, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2023 In the Pinnacle Grill on the Zuiderdam -- in the lobster mac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my fav. I did enjoy the lobster featured in dishes in Tamarind too, but it isn’t a full lobster or lobster tail just some meat incorporated into their dishes, IIRC. Still lovely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted September 16, 2023 #9 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Don’t order the lobster surcharge that is $10 in he MDR. Order the $15 dollar one whether it be in the MDR or elsewhere. My friend had it in the MDR and was very happy with it (and he knows good lobster since I take them some). Another had it in the PG and was happy. I saw people eating it in Sel de Mer and they seemed to gobbling it up. I tend not to order it being from Atlantic Canada but I do order the Fruits de Mer if I have the benefit of friends to eat with there and really like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj59 Posted September 18, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Best HAL lobster ever--Lido buffet on a formal night, before cutback mode kicked in, maybe 10 years ago, where you could order as many lobster tails as you want and come back for more, fresh off the grill. It smelled pretty bad, with hundreds cooked, but what a deal. My other secret delight, also gone, were evening chocolate covered strawberries in the Explorations Cafe--I'd sweet-talk the baristas into saving me some in case others got there first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the present price of lobster per pound those days are pretty much over. We use to get live Maine lobsters in Florida for around $10:00-12:00 per pound now they are $18:00 and up depending on size. Of course more reasonable in Northeast. Edited September 18, 2023 by aliaschief 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alifay Posted September 19, 2023 Author #13 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Okay so if I go for upcharge lobster, I’ll go for the one in the MDR. Thanks ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodo bird Posted September 20, 2023 #14 Share Posted September 20, 2023 We had a lobster roll in the MDR in July and all we could taste was onions. We had a better one in Portland and Halifax and they were much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
