No melted butter with lobster

[DIS_MIKE]

I did a 3-night cruise on the Dream last year and we didn't get lobster. The couple at my table were surprised it wasn't offered but I think it has to do with the length of the cruise. I'm doing a 4-night next week so I'll let everyone know if it's served but I think it's guaranteed on the 7+ night cruises. I'm not sure about the 5-night. I did a Carnival 5-night and we were served lobster.

We had baked lobster tail on the 5 night NYC to PR repositioning cruise. They came around with melted butter..

My husband and I both asked for and received melted butter for our lobster!

Rumor has it that leftover lobster is served on Castaway Cay, but on our cruises there's never been enough leftovers to do that.

The extra food is served at the adult BBQ, not Cookie's or Cookie's 2. I haven't seen it myself but I've read about it.

We only sail on 7+nights cruises, but we always get lobster tails at some point during the week. I think they are offered in the "french" restaurants : Triton, Lumiere...

It's on the Captains Gala menu, so whatever MDR you are in that night. Usually night 6 of a 7.

What restaurant serves lobster Do all ships? Or do the number of days play? I don't recall seeing it last time. TIA

The lobster is on the Captain's Gala menu. If you're on a 7 night cruise (or longer) you'll have that menu.

Lobster was served on the Fantasy last month on semi-formal night (our second dinner at Animator's).

HI Shmoo. The problem is the lobster they serve is the spiny or rock lobster from the Caribbean. Very different from what we have in the Northeast which is the American lobster, much tastier!

This!

I notice a huge difference. Nothing is better than a fresh Maine lobster.

Our friend asked for melted butter on our December cruise. I can't remember if he asked when he ordered or when it came but the server just said "of course" as though it was a given that he'd want it and brought him a small dish/bowl of it. So I don't know whether you have to specifically ask for it but the server acted like it was such a routine item that I imagine that it's ready to be provided even if they don't bring it out as a standard.

I don't eat lobster, but my husband does (loves it as a matter of fact). He thinks the lobster on the ship is not good. He thinks it's because it's baked not steamed.

While that may be an issue, I think its more that the lobster I'm accustomed to is the cold-water north atlantic lobster but you usually get caribbean lobster on the ship. Huge difference in flavor.

As long as they remove the lobster from the tail, I am happy! Once, I did it myself and the meat went flying. The last lobster I had was RCCL on the Disboard cruise, and it was delicious! Yes, our server shelled it for me, and she did a great job!

On the Wonder this week they shelled the lobster tail and came around with melted butter without me asking. It was routine.
