Had one on Harmony in March.  Good but didn’t live up to the hype IMO.

I agree! It is a better cut of beef maybe sirloin strip, but go on Celebrity and go to the Eden Garden for lunch. They slice Prime Rib sandwiches with or without the roll! Delicious! We were on the Edge!

The kummelweck sandwich is served at the Park Cafe aboard the Grandeur of the seas.  Has anyone tried this sandwich and what did you think?

truly nothing to write home about?  Amazing?Delicious?  Only if you are buzzed and hungry are these anything more than somewhat tender beef in a bun 🙂   

That being said, they will curb your appetite while hanging out in the Solarium 🙂  haha

This sandwich is a moving target, similar to my (fast food) chicken sandwich experiences...

 

Popeyes and Burger King - both of their new (prior year or two) chicken sandwiches are - potentially - great. However, I've ordered them several times (different locations/cities) and I can see where someone trying it once might get a "dud" (more so with Burger King), wonder what all the fuss was about, and give up.

 

Places that just can't get it right: KFC and McDonalds. I can't believe that McDonalds calls theirs "crispy"... I've ordered at least 5-6 and never detected anything remotely "crispy"! I finally threw in the towel, and won't be fooled a 7th time... LMAO

 

I will say, the MDE chicken sandwich at Shaq's Big Chicken (Carnival Mardi Gras) was excellent every time I ordered one (perhaps 5 times over two sailings).

 

OK.... off my chicken sandwich rant/soapbox now !  😄

I was on Oasis and Allure three times between 2013 and 2018 and loved the kummelweck sandwiches in Park Cafe. They were absolutely delicious and the quality was always consistent. 
 

On Anthem last week, the sandwiches were inedible. Tough raw undercooked beef with so much fat and gristle that my wife and I couldn’t eat them. The staff didn’t seem to know how to properly cook or trim them.

On Jewel I really enjoyed them...tender and well seasoned...asked for extra jus. Glad for this thread so I knew to try them.

Do you tip when you get the sandwich?   How much?  Aren't those people in the tipping pool?  (That should get the controversy going!)

We had a Popeye's crispy sammich and it was divine.

I recently did a b-3-b on the Symphony and the sandwiches were terrible, I tried one on each cruise and all 3 were uneatable.

In most cases, if you watch the person slicing the meat they dont know how to cut it. They are not trained properly. They cut it in all directions which is a large problem. Not only is it produce an inedible sandwich it is a big waste of money for Royal.

The sandwich with the Kummelweck sauce is absolutely divine. However, if the beef is tough, gristly & chewy it’s god dam awful!

I had one from Cafe 270 on Anthem and it was decent. I was not wowed by it but it was not terrible. As a quick grab for lunch it is ok.
