Pooch Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 1 hour ago, teddy said: It's funny.....we can get them anytime we want, but both my wife and I can take them or leave them. They're kind of a pita to eat, and it takes at least two to make a meal. We've never felt like eating them on lobster night even though, as I understand, it's just the tails (I think). The exact reason my husband won’t eat lobster, too much work! I love lobster so I don’t mind at all. We were in Maine in May and a couple at the next table ordered lobster. The waitress delivers it and ….. they had no clue what to do with it. Poor waitress had to take it all apart for them . If you can’t follow the darn directions on the placemat, don’t order it.

I was like....I can do it. LOL is that normal for them to do that? Depends on the waiter/waitress but it does seem it is either all the staff does it or none. So I'm sure if a ship does it or not comes down the maître d. Always an awkward pause before digging in wondering if someone is going to zip by and cut the meat out.

Donna G Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 The last time we cruises we accidentally booked speciality dining on lobster night and missed it!! Never again will I make that mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thman Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Do they only do lobster night one time if you are on a 10 night cruise? If so which night is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Lobster night, if there is one, is one night per cruise. For most cruises it's the 2nd formal night if there are two formal nights. I guess they don't want to have lobster on the 1st formal night menu and set an expectation there will be lobster on the other formal night menu.

smokeybandit Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 It's probably sacrilegious to say, but I think lobster night is the most overrated thing in cruising. SebagoSue, RWDW1204, Ampurp85 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampurp85 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 I don't eat lobster or pretty much any seafood that is not shrimp. But my travel companions were too excited when I mentioned lobster night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 While watching the blog for the July 2nd Freedom cruise from Miami (3 nighter) lobster was served on the 3rd night. Looked delicious. Hoping there will be a lobster night on my 4 night Oasis cruise! WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might see it on cruises we otherwise would not in the near term. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling_Down Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 If you're sailing out of Port Canaveral (or just missing lobster night from all the cancelled cruises like I do) there's an AYCE lobster place about 50 minutes away in Orlando. It's like pre-gaming (or post-gaming if your stomach can handle it) for the real deal on the boat Firstrcelyse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling_Down Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 I wasn't sure if I was allowed to name a place specifically but I suppose being a newbie someone will correct me if I can't....Its called the Boston Lobster Feast WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeK Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 My grandmother used to take my sister and I to a place called Happy Land on Siesta Key in Sarasota for lobster night. It was an AYCE which was rare then This was in the late 50s or early 60s. They had this huge revolving salad bar which was unusual then also. The first time I grabbed my salad plate to go to the salad bar my grandmother took the plate from me, tapped me on the back of the head and said "You are here to eat lobster" Pooch, JLMoran, Neesa and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjpoe Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 A cruise friend of mine who reads FB says they're not offering lobster (warm tail) only offering it as an upcharge. I know that there is a charge for a cold water / Maine lobster. Can anyone confirm or deny about the warm water lobster tail?

Ampurp85 Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 @barjpoeIt is an upcharge for any night that isn't lobster night. CruisingfromClayton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 So far, I can't figure out what night on my upcoming cruise will be lobster night via the app (any day after day 2 shows all the dining rooms closed). Would the MDR tell me on boarding day? Since my mom and I don't partake (allergic and just don't like shellfish) I want to make a reservation for specialty dining that day instead and rumor has it doing that early is best.

Looks like it would make sense to just eat in the MDR that night. Follow up question, can we request a CK entree be sent to the MDR? I have a question. When I look at menus for MDR, they have lobster as an up charge. Are you saying there is a night that the lobster is free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying there is a night that the lobster is free? yup! It's usually toward the end of the cruise (second formal night on 7+ nighters and I think night 4 or 4 or ones less than 7). At this point, lobster tails are part of the main, complimentary menu and they are as unlimited as everything else in that section. And yes, the staff is well aware that people go CRAZY with it. I've never heard of them running out or limiting people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info Be aware that the free lobsters are warm water lobsters, tails only. The upcharge lobster would be a cold water full lobster. I enjoy the free ones and usually order a surf and turf with a steak and 2 tails. WAAAYTOOO and Jennifer Burke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
