qualifiedcruiseologist Posted May 4, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2016 hubby wants to know if anyone can offer a comparison to the Guy's Burgers on Carnival...that he ate every day! Both places the burgers are great. Guys has better fries than the dive in though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stakeout Posted May 4, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) horrendous I say... PLUS the wait with a beeper is off the chart.. who wants to wait 20-30 minutes( I'm not kidding) for a lousy burger when the rest of the people you're with are eating their lunch.. count how many beepers are missing from the rack before you place an order... you'll see after you tried it... as much as I love a nice cheeseburger-cheeseburger and fries I will NOT use the Dive-in.. at least it's been that way the many times(27x) we've been on the Maasdam best burger on the ship ..Pinnacle Grill for lunch..

InTheWASide Posted May 4, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Having done both on numerous occasions Better about Guy's Burgers: Faster Station where you can get your own toppings, sauces, etc Better about Dive In: Cooked to order Better variety of choices They also have some pretty cool hotdogs The cheese sauce!! :) Tied: Both have great fries. Different styles but both are really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWASide Posted May 4, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 4, 2016 at least it's been that way the many times(27x) we've been on the Maasdam You've been on Maasdam 27 times since they rolled out the Dive In concept?! That's close to a dozen cruises a year. Very impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted May 4, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I can't compare the Dive In to Guy's, never having cruised on Carnival, but I've enjoyed the Dive In's burgers and have never had to wait more than 5 minutes or so. The fries are ok, nothing exceptional, but the poutine they serve on the Canada/New England run is the best I've had. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted May 4, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Guys has better fries than the dive in though Skip the Dive-In fries, and ask for an order of frizzled onions instead. To die for. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWASide Posted May 4, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 4, 2016 but the poutine they serve on the Canada/New England run is the best I've had. :) Holy crap. Now I have a goal for my next cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEmerson Posted May 4, 2016 #9 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Holy crap. Now I have a goal for my next cruise! They setup a poutine bar with the curds and different types of gravy and extra toppings. It was just what I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rothbury Posted May 4, 2016 #10 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Have to agree with Fouremco. Just off the last Caribbean cruise of the Zuiderdam. Never waited more than 5 minutes. Ruth, I agree! The frizzled onions are fantastic with or without the hot dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyDenise Posted May 4, 2016 #14 Share Posted May 4, 2016 In March 2015 I did a side to side cruise with Carnival and Hal. Three of us think Guy's wins ! Happier service, better burgers, great fries plus awesome toppings bar ( love those sautéed mushrooms). Of course food is subjective but we found a better experience with Guy's.

ithaca gal Posted May 4, 2016 #18 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Haven't been on carnival so I can't compare the two but boy, oh boy, are the burgers and dogs great at the Dive In! And everyone's taste is different but the fries are out of this world. Sure wish I could get my hands on the recipe for the Dive In sauce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted May 4, 2016 #19 Share Posted May 4, 2016 ..... Sure wish I could get my hands on the recipe for the Dive In sauce! Wild guess here: sriarccha sauce and mayonnaise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksmaxey Posted May 4, 2016 #25 Share Posted May 4, 2016 A few times a year won't kill me. I hope. :eek: so funny but maybe not funny. A comedian I heard once said that when you are in a nursing home in a diaper you will say to yourself, "I should have had the hot dog instead of the bean sprouts." Sometimes quality of life is way more important that quantity of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
