kathynorth Posted July 23, 2017 #27 Share Posted July 23, 2017 How about we let the man enjoy his cruise. Your suspense over a $10 hamburger and hot dog can wait. Gee whiz, I didn't realize we can't ask OP's to follow up on what they post. The OP can choose to ignore the request or respond. Since you've done a poor job of reading my mind I'll clarify that my post isn't over $10. It's about the slow degradation of an experience I enjoyed over the years.

DYKWIA Posted July 23, 2017 #28 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I can not possibly imagine a staff member making a flip answer such as "new days, new rules". This is how terrible rumors get started. "Terrible rumours", hardly. I've checked back to the post and I think the poster when they queried the new charge was actually told "today is a new day"...

CHEZMARYLOU Posted July 23, 2017 #30 Share Posted July 23, 2017 No harm in asking a question. I always feel that posters/cruisers are free to read, post or respond as they feel like doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChucktownSteve Posted July 23, 2017 #31 Share Posted July 23, 2017 OK folks, take a deep breath. The OP just boarded and posted because he was soooo excited not to get the Kobe Burger. Now when you first board, think back to what you do after grabbing a bite to eat. Is posting on CC the top of your list or is getting into your cabin, getting your luggage and getting freshened up from your travels more important? geeeezzzzzzeeee Loueeeezzzzeeee He'll be back unless he was just doing a funzies post. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how terrible rumors get started. they probably can. When I requested a water pitcher, shortly after X getting rid of them, the room steward refused and said 'no water pitcher, now they wanna make more money with you'...

He's on his vacation, not yours so he will respond (or not) when he has the time, opportunity and interest. 50 people demanding a more elaborate explanation minutes after he's boarded is a bit much.

clivey Posted July 24, 2017 #39 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I just got off the Equinox this morning after being on for two weeks and never paid for a hamburger at the Mast Grill. They were very good and free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChucktownSteve Posted July 24, 2017 #41 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I just got off the Equinox this morning after being on for two weeks and never paid for a hamburger at the Mast Grill. They were very good and free. So are you saying they did not change the Mast Grill to the Kobe Beef TTBB as originally reported? Were the burgers the old processed patties?

Jade13 Posted July 24, 2017 #43 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I just got off the Equinox this morning after being on for two weeks and never paid for a hamburger at the Mast Grill.

richarduk Posted July 24, 2017 #45 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Does the Mast Grill serve gluten free rolls/bread? It's great to have a good burger once in a while but it can be a pain in the proverbial if you have to be GF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie2013 Posted July 24, 2017 #48 Share Posted July 24, 2017 So looking forward to it. Safe travels! Thank you! You too. Have had a few winter storms here in New Zealand but aiming for good weather this weekend for an on-time departure. Great that the big day is nearly here!

TommyD3 Posted July 24, 2017 #49 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Here is the menu from last week: Relatives still onboard. Asked why burgers were free on embarkation day and if the pay burgers will be back. Were told it is "Up in the air". I think Celebrity got a LOT of negative feedback and is reconsidering.....
