clarkie138 Posted March 3, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2010 except beverages of course. I thought it was and something just made me think otherwise. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssatterly Posted March 3, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Nope.. Its a $4.95 cover fee plus drinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danp Posted March 3, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2010 If you were a Diamond or Diamond+ member,it used to be free with a coupon that you got in your room but NO more.Another thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steponboard Posted March 3, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2010 It used to be but no longer. Cutbacks I guess. You can get a table quickly now if you want to pay for a burger and fries that are no extra charge in the windjammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegianlatvian Posted March 3, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Not included, and not very special if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted March 3, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Cutbacks yes, but I was on Explorer OTS several years ago and saw numerous occasions where food was wasted - ordered simply because it was free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estoyer Posted March 3, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 3, 2010 It's not a cheep date but you will find the burger and malts veryvery good! You may also find due to the cost per couple about $21 US, not very many people are eating here. We would go back in a heart beat. That is if our hearts will still beat after that fantastic thick and juicy burger! I had a double and it was all I could handle. FANTASTIC!!!!!!

flashdog_1 Posted March 3, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 3, 2010 As you probably already know every cruise line is slightly different from the next one by these kinds of things. For instance, NCL has a Blue Lagoon (in Hawaii on Pride of America, same restaurant but it's called Cadillac Diner) which is similar to Johnny Rockets, and it is free and open 23 hours a day. Some lines give free capuccino in the dining room but never in the specialty coffee shop. Celebrity gives it free to suite guests when it's served in the suite. Some lines have free ice cream. NCL has only 3 flavors at a time. Celebrity has about a dozen (free). RCCL has what a Ben & Jerry's and you pay for it. Some lines have buffet food almost all evening, others close down. It's good that you are finding out the differences BEFORE you cruise so you won't be disappointed on board. Hope learning about the charge in Johnny Rockets won't ruin your day!

ehappy Posted March 3, 2010 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Nope not free BUT very good burgers + onion rings - I try to get there at least once every cruise. Plus I like the smiling and dancing servers. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campingman Posted March 3, 2010 #10 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Not worth, it considering other alternatives on board. We simply dont go now there is a charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bplazo Posted March 3, 2010 #11 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I go at least once. I still wish they still had the coupon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted March 3, 2010 #12 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Not worth the extra $10 for two, in my opinion. It was good for free, but I would not pay to eat there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted March 3, 2010 #13 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Unless they do something different than land based JR's, the burgers aren't very good. We live about 2 miles from a JR and we've eaten there twice, the second time to give it a second chance. I've also eaten at them in Nashville and right off Rodeo Drive in LA, none of them are that great. You're paying for the decor and the "show". Their shakes are good, but the fries and burgers are borderline. The only decent burgers I've ever had on a cruise ship were on Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclop Posted March 3, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Oh yes carnival burgers are excellent!!!!!!!!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csoud Posted March 3, 2010 #15 Share Posted March 3, 2010 free starting at 10:30 out by the pool. I did hear that RCCL does have free ice cream, you just have to hunt for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsPete Posted March 4, 2010 #16 Share Posted March 4, 2010 The place is EMPTY much of the time. I can't believe they keep using the space. Or, I can't believe they keep charging the fee. Take your pick, but it's obviously not something that appeals to a large number of cruisers. It's time for another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainannoyed! Posted March 4, 2010 #17 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Rocket's isn't included, but really ought to be. I will never understand why anyone pays for a burger when there are plenty of free one's elsewhere on the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never understand why anyone pays for a burger when there are plenty of free one's elsewhere on the ship! For me, it's because the burgers elsewhere aren't good. I like JR. And by the way, I love Danvers as well! Wish I were there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you from here? Not many people know about 'Salem Village', LOL! Anyway, if you prefer the JR burgers better then perhaps it makes sense for you. I can take them or leave them. They are okay (to my taste) but roughly equal to the Windjammer's fare (again, in my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depplep Posted March 4, 2010 #20 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'm originally from Ohio and we would vacation on the North Shore twice a year.Your area of the country is so beautiful! And I do miss the seasons living in Florida now. And.... you have a nicely refurbished mall as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I do miss the seasons living in Florida now. And.... you have a nicely refurbished mall as well! There is quite a bit to see here on vacation, and some things that people don't even know about. For instance, did you know that the original 'Spirit of '76' painting is in Marblehead? Has been for years! Even I didn't know that until about a decade ago. Anyway, FL is nice in the winter so enjoy it! :D Yes, the North Shore is very nice these days. Unfortunately the Liberty Tree is languishing - apparently of no concern to the owners. Sadness - sadness :confused: Cheers my new friend, nice to make your acquaintance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depplep Posted March 4, 2010 #23 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I didn't know about the Spirit of 76 painting. You learn something new everyday. Very good to meet you as well. We don't get to the North Shore as much as we'd like to these days. Please send me some snow if you can, I sure do miss it around the Holidays.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainannoyed! Posted March 4, 2010 #25 Share Posted March 4, 2010 BTW the 'Spirit in in a place called Abbot Hall in Marblehead. You can see it for free. It is quite impressive, very large and fine. Perhaps during the summer you should take a trip to get away from the FL heat and see it. I hope you do because FL summer can be very oppressive.
