Cruise Radio reports: Carnival Cuts Lobster on Short Cruises
"“We’ve had to discontinue serving lobster on cruises of 5 days or less due to the significant increase in the cost of lobster. Discontinuing lobster on short cruises will allow us to continue offering our cruises at great value,” [John] Heald said."
They added Sea Scallops & they were fantastic! They are serves as an appetizer so order 2 or 3

I find that the lobster on cruise ships is almost always overcooked. Which makes it rubber. So no big loss to me.
I have noticed this too. I though always order the lobster. We so rarely have it at home.
Since we don't do short cruises, it wouldn't affect us. But many people who associate "lobster night" with cruising will be highly disappointed.
i would be disappointed but I don't go on short Carnival cruises anymore. Of course if a really good deal materialized I might reconsider. At least now I know not to expect lobster on formal night.
They always seem to put the Lobster out the same night as Prime Rib, or some other choice that I have to have. Taking out one choice is a benefit to me!
I really get bothered by this. I just order two - one of each, small portions, please.

JusMe - That must have been a hoot! I love the B52s... Dance this Mess Around, Private Idaho, Quiche Lorraine... wow I'm going down memory lane now.
"Has anybody seen a dog dyed dark green.
About two inches tall, with a strawberry blonde fall;
Sunglasses and a bonnet
and designer jeans with appliques on it?"
LOL.. I'm dating myself a bit I think.
CrusingCM, I just saw "Rock Lobster" performed live at the B52's concert on closing night of the Hollywood Bowl. It was interesting to have a full orchestra playing Rock Lobster with the band and fire works to the song Love Shack.
