4_THE_HALIBUT Posted July 24, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Does anyone know what the formal night dinner menu is in the dining room? I'm trying to decide if I want to pack formal wear. When I went to Alaska last year, we just did one formal night for the crab legs; the other night we had lobster delivered to our room. Since we will essentially be in lobster country, I'm sure I'll be eating my fair share in ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 24, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2008 You mentioned lobster in the ports so I assume that you are on a 7 day Canada/New England cruise. Crab legs are available on the first formal night. Surf and turf -- lobster and beef are available on the second formal night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K2Cruises Posted July 24, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2008 It used to be that on some formal nights one of the selections was two lobster tails. I used to have to order two meals, the lobster tail entree and the steak entree if I wanted surf and turf. Now they've combined them. I still can't believe I used to order two entrees.

This is one of those items that change from ship to ship and itinerary to itineray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
