billh360 Posted April 11, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2012 DW and I won't get a chance to try Guys burgers until 4/28/2012. I have seen lots of good things said about them. I was just wondering if they are as good as 5 guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyZ Posted April 11, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2012 1800 calories per burger better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmet1986 Posted April 12, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 12, 2012 i never had them, but i doubt a burger on a cruise ship is going to be better than 5 guys. if they were that good they would charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel24m Posted April 12, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 12, 2012 1800 calories per burger better no way I would waste 1800 calories on a burger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveCruising2012 Posted April 12, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I also think 5 Guys burgers are better and I would not waste the calories! I would leave those for drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenanny Posted April 12, 2012 #7 Share Posted April 12, 2012 1800 calories per burger better Just for the burger and bun???? How could that be? Or is that with all sorts of sinful things on it, mayo, cheese, fried onions, etc etc.? Or maybe including the fries that come with it too?

Or is that with all sorts of sinful things on it, mayo, cheese, fried onions, etc etc.? the meat that they use are really fatty to make them good and juicy.I havent researched it but a piece of cheese is around 120 calories ,fried onions arent that bad.Mayo is I think 90 calories per tablespoon.If its the correct calories its because mostly of the meat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's and 80/20 burger....no "fattier" than what most buy at the grocery for their burgers at home.

Not just the "plain jane" burger! ;) that seems alittle bit better ,but I can find many ways to get almost my daily calories from a burger and fries.Not at all saying its not awesome, but I dont want to eat 4000 calories a day while on vacation.Takes too much of my vacation time on the treadmill onboard :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee0070 Posted April 12, 2012 #15 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Guy burgers are better and are Free not 5.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoPete Posted April 12, 2012 #16 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Well, I was just on Liberty's 3/3/12 sailing and I ate my share of Guy's Burgers. They are very good. I think I ate about 6 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTRMom Posted April 12, 2012 #17 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Personally five guys didn't live up to the hype to me. Hated the fries, the burger was good, but not worth the price. I can't wait to try Guys Burgers sometime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted April 12, 2012 #18 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Not that you can believe everything you read on the internet....but here are a couple of articles I found about the burgers - including one by cruise critic: http://www.mommymusings.com/guy-fieris-straight-up-with-a-pig-patty-burger-wins-heinz-best-dressed-burger-at-amstel-light-burger-bash/ http://travelingmamas.com/guys-burger-joint-on-carnival-cruise-lines-funship2dot0/ http://www.cruisecritic.com/blog/index.php/2011/12/04/live-from-carnival-liberty-bested-by-burgers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTRMom Posted April 12, 2012 #21 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Probably skipping the onion ring would save a lot of calories. Haha. The plain Jane sounds reasonable, to at least try once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
