The_Big_M Posted July 30, 2017 #576 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Duh!! Did they really think it would be popular? It doesn't work that way. It wasn't done to be popular, just someone's idea of how to raise revenue. Had it raised enough revenue, someone would have likely gotten a nice bonus in his next performance review.

deliver42 Posted July 30, 2017 #577 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I go back to what I said. If it's not popular, then it won't raise the expected revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhcruiser Posted July 30, 2017 #578 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I thought the trial charge of burgers was only on the Equinox. Does anyone know if it has also been stopped on the Connie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkjretired Posted July 30, 2017 #579 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I thought the trial charge of burgers was only on the Equinox. Actually, they did them first on the Constellation. Did some work on the grill while in drydock, apparently it will be permanent on the Constellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vol fan Posted July 30, 2017 #580 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Celebrity finally called me back. The representative said the trial of TDBB was stopped on Equinox because "uhhh, it did not go over very well". Looking forward to our cruise next week with no $10 hot dogs, lol.

Eaches Posted August 6, 2017 #581 Share Posted August 6, 2017 That's a shame, but inevitable. Do you still get to sit out in the blazing sun while "enjoying" your $10 burger? That was hard enough when it was free. Sorry Celebrity, others can enjoy your new "for fee" venue. This cruiser will not partake. Viking offers you a very good - cooked for you burgers with all the dressings and a glass of wine for lunch with no up charge ! You can't beat it and I'm a Burger Lover and to top it off you can sit in the shade ! What more could you ask for !

Rare keesar Posted August 6, 2017 #582 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hurray😀😀Have two cruises booked on Equinox!! The real reason to cheer would be if they used fresh beef. Those hockey pucks are not appealing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeRick Posted August 7, 2017 #584 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Does anyone know if it has also been stopped on the Connie? By all latest reports the TDBB has been removed on Connie and it is now back to the free Pool Grill again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare shipshape sam Posted August 7, 2017 #586 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Who would pay for the upgrade? Read the post again. I suggested they upgrade the current product offering with no additional charge. THAT means no additional charge. How do companies do that!!? They run scenarios and many times get more business due to the update/upgrade and that pays for it since you are worried about WHO will pay for it. They also do it to set themselves apart from the competition or set a higher industry standard and again, count on more business to pay for it indirectly. Sometimes, it is a cost of doing business to change and update/upgrade product/service offerings, thus Celebrity would pay for it using your terminology. You keep asking who would pay for the upgrade You continue to assume that if they make something better, you (we) have to pay for it directly and specifically! Incredible! Companies have to love your attitude. They can do nothing to better their product because you are okay with it AND if they do improve their product, YOU seem to feel an obligation to pay more! What if they reduce the value of their product or service. Do YOU expect them reduce their price?! Do you ask for a refund? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare missthesea Posted August 15, 2017 #590 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Mast Grill was back to normal last week on the Equinox.

Always enjoyed their burgers & fries. Celebrity must be toying with doing away with Sushi on Five if they are offering a burger there. I've never seen many people eating there and personally I will never forfeit a meal that is already paid for just so that I can pay even more for Sushi that is no better then what I can get locally. Bring back Bistro on Five and I'll be there several times the cruise. Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Forums mobile app I'm surprised they don't experiment with a pop up street food cafe concept at what is now Sushi On Five. They could offer a small set meal or a limited choice Table D'Hote menu. Street food can be cooked using simple ingredients, quickly and In kitchens with simple facilities. Mexican, Thai, Indian, and even "gourmet" burgers etc could be offered on different themed nights. I think it would appeal to a wider audience than Sushi and I would have thought some people would dine more than once coming back for different themes. I suspect Celebrity would price it at a level where people go "what? That much for street food? " :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo_Traveler Posted August 15, 2017 #595 Share Posted August 15, 2017 And (Guess What), there will be the usual line on our receipt asking for the gratuity amount. The correct number is $0.00 for a hamburger bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely dovetails to the demographic and direction the cruiseline wants to aspire to. Something different, out of the box! On land your concept would be housed in a couple of cargo containers!

The Fun Researcher Posted August 15, 2017 #599 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Yes, the burgers, hot dogs, fries, etc.. were free on the Aug 6th sailing on the Equinox. Great fries. Regarding Sushi on 5, we ate there twice for lunch and loved it both times. There was a wait on the last sea day for lunch. It seemed to get decent demand while we were on the ship.
