cottoncandysunsets25 Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Hi! We're sailing on a 6-day Odyssey cruise in a few days and have been checking the MDR menus to plan our dining ahead but even as we approach embarkation day there is no lobster night showing up on the menu. Is this a matter of the menus not being accurate/updated or is there no lobster night on our cruise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowTieBrigade Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Your menus should be relatively accurate, especially this close to the sailing. Royal posts the menus, I believe, to encourage early specialty dining booking on those nights when you find the menu lackluster. That being said, I havenāt heard anything about lobster night coming off the menu.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 My experience is that the first thing to "go" when they start cutting MDR meals is the lobster followed very closely by the lamb shank. Jill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously?? I thought lobster was a permanent item.. would that leave the only option to get lobster in the MDR is to order from the premium selections?

So you're looking at their nights 1-6 menu. The current sailing is the transatlantic, much longer sailing so the lobster menu is likely on later days this sailing so it won't be visible in your app. Ā Vacation Crazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAAAYTOOO Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 We had lobster night on more than 1, 5 night Bermuda cruise on Grandeur in years past so I think it depends on a lot of factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAYNO Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 We had lobster on Navigator last night. It was scrumptious. I asked if lobster was being curtailed.Ā The unofficial answer I received was, maybe it wouldn't be available on 3-night cruises.

I just got back from a 5-day on Grandeur that didn't have lobster & checked the menu for my 5-day on Voyager next May. Lobster doesn't seem to be on the menu at this time, but that is almost 6 mos away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 I've routinely seen lobster on 6 night cruises from Florida as recent as last week. In the past if a ship had a mix of alternating long and short cruises such as 5/9 or 6/8 it was common for the ship to have lobster in its supply chain so the short cruises benefited from that.Ā If a ship has a mix of short cruises like 4/5/5 then lobster was not part of its normal supply routine. Lately it seems they are cutting back.Ā So maybe they are truly limiting it to 7 and longer or some other criteria.Ā YMMV.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two 5-day cruises earlier in the year (April & May) both had lobster, but my 5-day last week didn't. (And mine was between two 9-days) Don't blame Royal for this, just a bit disappointed.
