mafig Posted January 23, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I've been reading in a few recent posts that there's "no lobster" on Costa..... Is this true? Is this recent?:confused: :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carribeansol Posted January 24, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2007 We had lobster for dinner on the second formal nite this past April. In fact we were brought as many lobsters as we wanted. We were on the Mediterranea for a western carribean cruise. We leave be on the magic in Feburay I'll let you know if lobster is served then.

luv2cruise13 Posted January 24, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 24, 2007 We were on the Jan 7th sailing of the Magica --- sorry no lobster in the dining room. I understand they did have crab legs though. You could go to the specialty restaurant though and get it for $25. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algae Posted January 24, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2007 No Lobsters but they gave us Alaskan King Crab legs on one night in the dining room. We asked for more and no problem they brought out 3 more dishes of Crab Legs. Tastes better than Lobster and Im a big lobster eater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not having warm water caribbean lobster tail is a let down, I do prefer king crab myself. I guess for real lobster you have to have the cold water Maine type. Was it king crab or ophelia crab?

mafig Posted January 24, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Can't say I'm too thrilled about this news.:( I know it's not cold water lobster. However, I still think of "lobster night" as part of the cruise experience....I also think of amenities in the bathroom as part of my vacation....this will be the first time I have to bring my own soap. I wonder if Costa is looking to de-categorize itself out of "mainstream" into the "budget" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Costa is looking to de-categorize itself out of "mainstream" into the "budget" category. ya 'lobster night' is a nice aspect to cruises. you feel all luxurious because you're eating lobster :). but really do you know the price of king crab? it's expensive. I'd estimate around the same price as Caribbean lobster. Maine lobster however, is much higher. if costa was 'decategorizing' itself it would be from the direction of their parent company, carnival. Mafig - magica has liquid soap dispensers in the shower that was great for body wash and shampoo. but thats it. i used it, but again, I'm a guy.

algae Posted January 25, 2007 #8 Share Posted January 25, 2007 By the way on the Med they do supply soap but not shampoo or conditioner. The showers had excellant pressure and plenty of hot water. was the best I had on any cruise ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted January 25, 2007 #9 Share Posted January 25, 2007 There is also bar soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisiamc Posted January 27, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 27, 2014 We just finished an eastern Med cruise on Serena on 19 December. No lobster in the main dining room in 11 nights. On the other hand, we did have sucking pig once, and it was delicious. For the soap question: there was a bar of soap in the bathroom, and a dispenser of shampoo/shower gel in the shower. I used both, and they were pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispb Posted January 27, 2014 #18 Share Posted January 27, 2014 We had lobster on the Queen Victoria:) so, as usual with Costa, it's some ships do and some ships don't (bit like smoking, I guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispb Posted January 27, 2014 #19 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Drat, just noticed how old this thread. There's a poster currently busy dragging up old posts. Guess he's got nothing better to do as he's not saying anything constructive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
