RevSmith Posted October 27, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I don't like my lobster in garlic and why serve shrimp with it...I wish they would bring back the good old tails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted October 27, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 27, 2007 It is now called fisherman's platter and includes shrimp I think a lot of people overlook it. That name change was made some time ago. More recently some people have been stating that they heard while on board that RCL was about to discontinue serving lobster. Hopefully these rumors prove to not be true.

Retired LEO Posted October 27, 2007 #8 Share Posted October 27, 2007 From what others have been saying they're going to diguise the lobster in BBQ sauce and it's going to taste like chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abschnick Posted October 27, 2007 #10 Share Posted October 27, 2007 WE were just on a 7 night on Liberty and we had lobster. Actually, I had two and had to have self control not to have three. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy ks Posted October 27, 2007 #12 Share Posted October 27, 2007 From what others have been saying they're going to diguise the lobster in BBQ sauce and it's going to taste like chicken. :D :D :D I have no idea why people get so excited by the lobster served in the dining room on cruise ships, any line for that matter, not just RCI. It might as well be prepared like this, as it is always overcooked and rubbery. Except, I avoid the chicken on cruises as well, it tastes like re-heated rest home chicken to me :rolleyes: . I love to cruise but the food onboard, unless it is from a specialty restaurant is just not that exceptional. I don't go hungry and it certainly is edible, it's just not anywhere near fine or gourmet dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted October 27, 2007 #13 Share Posted October 27, 2007 The lobster tails last week on Freedom were not rubbery. They were cooked just right. I had two. They are not cooked in garlic as someone mentioned. The shrimp served with the tails are in a garlic sauce. The menu for "lobster night" is misleading, so some may miss the lobster. The "chef's choice" is some sort of BBQ. The lobster is listed on the Fisherman's platter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted October 27, 2007 #14 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I*could* go find the actual thread, but here is what ONE cruiser reported. (and I believe that one other poster said, "Yeah, that's what I heard, too.") Cruiser was on the Mariner. Waiter was serving him the Fisherman's Platter. Waiter remarked that they were going to stop serving lobster and would be having BBQ chicken on formal night. End of rumor. I now return you to your previously scheduled Speculation, Assumption and Innuendo. :D :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitzLA Posted October 27, 2007 #15 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Who cares. If it was ever good Lobster, it would be one thing. But cruise ship lobster is just a tiny, horrible tasting spiny tails. Spiny lobster is considered to be the warm water affordable alternative to lobster. It stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But cruise ship lobster is just a tiny, horrible tasting spiny tails. Spiny lobster is considered to be the warm water affordable alternative to lobster. It stinks. Chacun à son goût. I enjoy it, and have never been served one that was rubbery, overcooked, tasteless or inedible. On the other hand, I don't make my schedule around it. If I want to go to a specialty restaurant on a certain night, the fact that lobster is being served in the main dining room does NOT change my mind. If they didn't have it at all, it wouldn't bother me. But if it is served when I am there, I will order it. And probably have a second.............. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majesty Fan Posted October 27, 2007 #18 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Yes they still have the lobster. They offered in 2x on our 15 night Hawaii cruise. The first one was so small it made our Gulf Coast ship look huge! The second lobster night they had the tail but they were small but not like the time before.

QueenOfKruz Posted October 27, 2007 #24 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I don't get all the fuss about lobster.:confused: It's not like it's some rare delicacy that's not available to anyone at most seafood counters in supermarkets at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
