Jonny Rocket's Charging?

[gjeff80]

So does anyone have an update on RC's plan to charge for Jonny Rockets? I hope they dump that idea by the time I got on my cruise this summer. I was really looking forward to the all you can eat cheese burgers, fries, chicken fingers... ect!!!

 

Thanks

-Glenn

Thank you for your e-mail concerning the service charge for Johnny Rockets. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

 

As you are aware, Johnny Rockets is known as a quality restaurant throughout the United States and is very popular with our guests. Often, this small onboard venue becomes crowded with long lines for service. In our continuing efforts to address this problem and provide our guests a more enjoyable experience, we have initiated a test program on two of our ships, the Navigator of the Seas and the Mariner of the Seas. This test program, which began on these two ships on their March 13th sailings, institutes a service fee of $3.95 per guest 5 years and up. Children under 5 may dine for free. Crown and Anchor members will receive a coupon for one complimentary dining experience. This service fee includes a gratuity for the dining experience but does not include beverages. Beverages are additional and charged at the normal rate with a 15% gratuity added to the beverage bill.

 

Once guests have paid the service fee, there is still no charge for the food with unlimited menu items available. Johnny Rockets has also developed a customized menu item for Royal Caribbean. It is the Royal Caribbean Oreo Fudge Sundae and is included in the service fee. Guests wishing to purchase a takeaway package may do so and will also be subject to the $3.95 service fee. However, the takeaway package consists of one burger or sandwich, fries, onion rings, and a dessert of choice. Guests may also still purchase a takeaway shake or beverage without sitting and dining in Johnny Rockets. At the Manager’s discretion, however, during quiet times, guests just ordering beverages and not dining may sit down in the venue. Please also note that there are still many complimentary dining options available to our guests onboard such as: the Windjammer Café, Café Promenade, the Main Dining Room, and room service.

 

This service fee will enable us to manage demand for the restaurant and provide all our guests with excellent service and overall, offer a more pleasing experience. Again, thank you for your e-mail and interest in Royal Caribbean International. We look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you onboard the Mariner of the Seas in June, 2004.

Just off the Voyager this morning, and Johnny Rockets had no service charge, I thought I read somewhere that only a few ships were doing it. We enjoyed Rockets just about everyday! Only thing you pay for is soda, beer or milkshakes, all food and dessert is free free free!

 

They did however run out of onion rings on Friday Night.

You need to read the letter above and you will know. Some people like it, others dont, fact of life. My opinion, better service.

We were on the Navigator in April and they were charging the $3.95 surcharge.

We are just off the Mariner as of yesterday. We went to Johnny Rockets the first day at 5:30 when they opened. No line or wait. Food was much better than you would get from McDonald's or Burger King at home. Husband had the cheeseburger, I had the chicken sandwich and both were great. Had the Oreo Sundae for dessert it was great also. Sodas were fountain sodas in the large Johnny Rockets glasses. Total for all that was $11.35. We felt it was worth it even though there were plenty of other options out there that would have been free.

Question:

When you pay the $3.95 It is just one burger, dessert? Or is "all you can eat"?

[aqusis]

If you dine in-the 3.95 is all you can eat. If you do carry out then you get one sandwich, fries, onion rings and dessert.

I think for the money you pay to go on the ship, they should keep it free. I was really looking forward to just stopping by and getting a cheeseburger. I guess people were abusing it so they had to start charing to try and bring the QOS back up. I heard they are charging for ice skating and rock climbing too? What's up with that?

[jean-lynd]

No, Jeff, they are not charging for ice skating and rock climbing. I hope this helps!

I don't believe there is a fee for rock climbing or skating. Only rumors started by people who fear more from the nickel and dime fairy flaoting around the cruise industry.
