burgers

[nccruzencouple]

Just came off a 5 day. I had 8 burgers. Those things are great.

I can't believe anyone would think a Guys burger was the best food on the ship. That's a sad statement and says a lot. A cheap greasy burger .....

I've had 2 Guy's burgers in 40 Carnival cruises.  One was when they first arrived, the second was after they modified the patty.

 

I'll have a 9 oz. filet mignon in the Steakhouse every cruise though.

 

You have me beat. I have had 2 Guy’s burgers (both on the same cruise) on 24 Carnival cruises.  I am a much bigger fan of the Blue Iguana.

DW usually has 1  per cruise.  I'm not a fan of the Sunglasses Neck.  Having eaten a bad meal at his one-time NYC restaurant, not my fav chef.  I like a good juicy burger which has juices from the meat not the grill grease. Might be the cooks on the ships but even his BBQ on sea days isn't that great, although I hear that the ribs on the Horizon extra charge menu are fantastic. didn't tempt them on last cruise.

9 day cruise on the Sunshine and I had 2.  4 of those days I ate lunch off the ship.

 

I love "The Ringer" at Guys, but also love Blue Iguana and Bonsai Sushi, plus one sea day we slept late and had Brunch in the MDR.

Sure sounds like you are burger connoisseur to me

No, but my wife is!

And she too mentioned it was greasy -but I forgot to add that.

 

Sorry about that!

3 or maybe 4 on a 7 or 8 day cruise.  I actually liked the burgers/dogs from the old aft grills better than Guy's...... but I'm still able to choke a few down

 

Like Serene56 I like to hit the mongolian wok if I can catch it w/o a long line.  Crowds often dictate where I eat lunch........

If I double stack the patties, does that count as one burger or two?

[ilovethesparkles]

I had none, but my husband probably had 3 or 4 on our last 7 day cruise

It's one burger with double patties on it.  On the ship it's known as ,

McGuys Double whammies.

Me too,  sometimes they had thin steak sandwiches which were great.

Four days, zero.

Probably 3 on my last 7 day cruise.  I love burgers for lunch and I think Guy's is a good offering with the variety of toppings.

I'll save myself for 5 Guys and a bag of fries.

[Cruisin Trkrs]

I'll usually have 1-2 on a 7day. Lol my sweetheart Hubs has the need to consume at least 8-10. I prefer Blue Iguana. Much less fat content in my salads there. Of course, at 6'5" and 190, he can eat however much & often as he wants!😏 Me otoh, yeah not so much 😂

They are actually worth the food coma afterwards

[shoptom]

I ate a double burger and my fries, then my wife's fries, and it was not filing.  So I had 4 tacos at Blue Iguana.  I think my burger was defective.

[BoDidly]

Was anyone on board when the ketchup dispenser exploded ?   It looked like machine gun Kelly emptied a clip on lido !😮

[Siora7777]

2 on a five day cruise 

[mvaughn11]

At least once a day; usually lunch. Best cruise burger we've ever had on any cruise line!

Vegan?

[WIFamily]

On our Fascination cruise, we did an excursion on every port - so 5 days we were back after lunch was served.  Just about every day I had a burger to hold me over to dinner 🙂

[pacruise804]

We might get 1 on a 7 day but get the fries 2 or 3 times.

 

Guys burgers (in my experience) are fairly thin, greasy, flat griddle cooked patties.  They serve a purpose and can be tasty, but very heavy and there are other options I prefer more (another Blue Iguana fan).

 

I prefer a thick, juicy burger cooked medium rare on a toasted bun.  I can get a great one at one of our local brew pubs but would not expect one on a cruise ship.

 

I have also had dry, overcooked burgers and Guys are better than this.  If you can stomach the grease they are also better than most picnic/bbq style hamburgers that are precooked and in a warming tray.
