ADD Boy Posted July 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hi fellow cruisers, I am currently sitting on the pool deck five hours from Puerto Rico. Happy to report the People have spoken, and the five and ten dollar burgers on Sunday were again FREE yesterday! Many complaints to the home office (so I heard) resulted in them reversing the fees. The poor guys serving the burgers are getting whipsawed around. I just asked if they were going to be free again today, he would not say definitively. I will report back at 11:30 when the grill opens. Stay tuned and ask me ANYTHING you care to know about this wonderful ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADD Boy Posted July 25, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Thx VA. Confirmed: burgers still free today. PoolBar service very slow, otherwise excellent service in all other areas, MDR food very good IMO, haven't tried specialty restaurants yet but will.

Kaos28 Posted July 25, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Are the once again free burgers "Kobe" or back to the way they were?

auntem Posted July 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hi ! Thanks for the update ! We are on the Equinox in September with a classic beverage package, which on the celebrity site says is all alcoholic drinks $8.00 and under. I have read several threads where the classic package had a $9.00 limit. Which is it on the Equinox currently ? Also, are Frozen drinks poolside included ? Thanks !

thephillykid Posted July 25, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I am wondering if they are free on the Constellation as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dori Saltzman Posted July 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2017 We checked with Celebrity to find out what's going on on Equinox and was told the Top Burger Bar at Mast Grill was just a temporary pop-up experience that is now over and Mast Grill has gone back to its original menu.

ChucktownSteve Posted July 25, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 25, 2017 All that lovely Kobe beef down the drain.....lol Gawd forbid they'd actually give modern luxury a chance for a change by keeping the faux Kobe burgers while ditching the fee. Thankx OP for the current status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an equivocator award is warranted. Dori, did you ask about the Constellation as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that someone who called the corp office was told that they (HQ) were unaware of the price change and they would look into it. I told my friend within earshot of the guy serving the drinks and burgers there that NOTHING happens on these ships w/out corp being aware of it, and he remarked, "ya mon, that's right!!"

ADD Boy Posted July 25, 2017 Author #18 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Have you eaten in any of the specialty restaurants and/or noticed any discounts being given for the first night? We have not but plan to. Travelling with large group here, and they offered to seat us at two adjacent tables OR 50% off Silk Harvest for everyone. I would NOT recommend buying the 3 or more specialty restaurant packages they push VERY hard on embark day; only 19% discount for the 3 dinner package; you can do much better later picking and choosing.

awhcruiser Posted July 25, 2017 #20 Share Posted July 25, 2017 We just want one Specialty Dinner and possibly a lunch. Wasn't planning on the 3 dinner special. Thanks for the heads up on that! Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagopaul Posted July 25, 2017 #21 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Thanks for the info. Hope you're enjoying an awesome cruise. Can you tell me if you see Zanu (from Jamaica) working at the Pool Bar or perhaps at Sunset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other post someone state the charge did not take place until corporate boarded the Equinox in Key West and that they make the change. For corporate to lie and not want to admit to making the change would not be a surprise to anyone.

pixey Posted July 25, 2017 #25 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I am now confused so there is going to be a price change correct or whenever you get to Key West correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
