tenthredemption Posted November 22, 2007 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Someone in a thread said they did. Please clear this up for this is the main reason I cruise. my understanding from a few threads is that RCCL stopped serving them or something...not too sure, though...

arby70 Posted November 22, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2007 We were on the Fantasy the week of October 1 of this year, and they still had a lobster tail on the menu. It was small and was also served with shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizer4662 Posted November 22, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Miracle 10/30 cruise had lobster tail on the menu as a entree'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidless Posted November 22, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2007 We had what they called "Lobster Tail" served with 4 large shrimp on the Sensation in September. I am not so sure it was lobster....very very small and rubbery....maybe it was a bad night. But on other cruises I have always liked the lobster but was not impressed this last time. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammsz Posted November 22, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted November 22, 2007 If they got rid of lobster tail all together AND the fuel charge then I would be pissed. One is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LURK Posted November 22, 2007 #10 Share Posted November 22, 2007 :confused: Just off the Imagination for 4 days. On formal night they served lobster tails along with 3 tiger prawns. The lobster tails were very small, in fact there was more meat on the shrimp. Have tasted better. Had a great cruise. Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted November 22, 2007 #11 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Someone in a thread said they did. Please clear this up for this is the main reason I cruise. You are kidding...right :confused: . One menu item is the "main reason" that you choose to cruise :confused: :confused: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidimom Posted November 22, 2007 #12 Share Posted November 22, 2007 If the lobster is very small, they are most likely Danish Lobster tails. They are small lobster tails. Keep in mind, you can order more if you want! I personally don't have the pleasure of trying any of the shell fish on board due to allergies, but my DH has always loved it on board but having lobster doesn't make or break our cruise for him. He would actually prefer Salmon or scallops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbles1209 Posted November 22, 2007 #13 Share Posted November 22, 2007 No, it was Royal Caribbean. A poster on the RC boards wrote them a letter and this is the response they got. Haven't heard a thing about Carnival following their lead.............yet. I had emailed the Crown and Anchor asking about if lobster is still going to be on the menu and this is the original answer. Dear Sue, Thank you for your email. Lobster is not offered on itineraries shorter than 7 nights. However, it is still being offered on longer itineraries. Thank you for choosing Royal Caribbean International. Christopher Fitzgerald Customer Service Representative I then replied with some clarifications since he says that lobster was not on 7 days or less, when in fact I had it on the 5 day Explorer and now this is the answer I just received Dear Sue, Thank you for your email. We apologize, shortly after responding to your first email we were informed that Lobster will be discontinued on every sailing beginning in 2008. We sincerely apologize for the earlier miscommunication. Thank you for choosing Royal Caribbean International.

terri910 Posted November 22, 2007 #14 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Why not just to go Red Lobster and save the expense of the cruise? When Red Lobster cleans my house, makes my bed, and puts a mint on my pillow, all while transporting me to exotic locations, then I'll think about it!

My post may have been misunderstood. My thinking was: if the OP cruises mainly for the lobster, why cruise? Why not save all the "hassle" of a cruise, and just go to a restaurant?

Ship's lobster doesn't do much for me; I guess I'm just spoiled. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob42 Posted November 22, 2007 #21 Share Posted November 22, 2007 They could replace the lobster with Chesapeake Bay blue crabs and I would be much happier. At present fish and chips are much better than lobster in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrusinAgain Posted November 22, 2007 #23 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I just found out that NCL just stopped serving lobster tails also and is now called a Seafood Platter with a baby tail on there. I also read that Royal Caribbean is doing the same and it appears that Carnival must be following that path. It really irks me about this as lobster night was always the best since you don't normally cook it at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin1982 Posted November 22, 2007 #24 Share Posted November 22, 2007 We had lobster on the legend in October I thought they were fine. I ate 3 of them I would say they were 4 to 6 oz tails. I guess some are thinking they should be 16oz tails and if they served them they would complain that the price of the cruise would be too expensive. I guess it's human nature to B**** about something. I would like to read threads from passengers from the other side of the pound and I think they wouldn't be as harsh as some of us americans.

CrusinAgain Posted November 22, 2007 #25 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Mike, 4-6 oz was the normal size for the lobsters so I don't think they are complaining about that. Obviously they are smaller now and small enough to serve some shrimp with it. I know on the NCL line it was just implemented in November to the passengers.
