crusinpsychRN Posted May 8, 2015 #26 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Never had soggy anything. Thought they were very, very good. Like the fries too. The mushrooms and sautéed onions and bacon crumble good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legion3 Posted May 8, 2015 #27 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Guy's fries were never crispy, they are always soft all last week. they were not always even seasoned the same from batch to batch. Way better fries elsewhere in the world, but perhaps not on the ship at that moment. Never could eat more than a couple, just not my type of fries. I like mine crispy, hot and just enough salt to be good and salty. Guy's was none of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcearth Posted May 8, 2015 #28 Share Posted May 8, 2015 In my opinion, Guy's is without a doubt, the best burger at sea, and the best part is that it is at a complimentary venue. (Johnny Rockets pales in comparison, and leaves you lighter in the wallet. Mater's burgers on Disney were average at best. I will try the O'Sheehans version next year.) They are a big step up from the regular Carnival burgers, which aren't bad by any means. Guy's burgers is not just a branded hamburger -- there is a lot of thought that goes into making it so tasty, from the choice of meat, to the mixture of cheeses, to the buttering and grilling of the bun, and the wide array of very tasty toppings.

Is that why they taste so good? Never paid much attention to the cooking process myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach_gal Posted May 8, 2015 #31 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I too wasn't that impressed with the burgers ~ but the topping bar was outstanding!!! That is what impressed me more than the burger itself. Now Blue Iguana is rockin'!!! Those tacos are the bomb-diggity! And their breakfast burritos are pretty delish too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legion3 Posted May 8, 2015 #32 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Is that why they taste so good? Never paid much attention to the cooking process myself. Yep, that's what crispy's them up like a steak burger. The place a burger on the grill then put a big dollup of butter dead center, flip, cook, cheese, serve... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty13 Posted May 8, 2015 #34 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Apparently I am in the minority, but I ddin't think Guy's was worth all the hype. Sure they are better than McD's, but in the end they are still just hamburgers.;) I am not one to hype any type of burger, I thought In and Out was only an average fast food burger. But Guy's was great, in my opinion. Maybe it was the fact I didn't dish out cash every time I wanted one. I now base my sailings on ships with Guys. I am reading that a lot of people find it greasy and very unhealthy. I am not reading a problem with this. We all understand it is a quick serve hamburger and not a gourmet kobe beef organic grass fed free range Portland raised humanely killed sushi-burger, right?

splintz Posted May 8, 2015 #35 Share Posted May 8, 2015 i thought the guy's burgers were pretty good for a cruise ship. and the fixings bar is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drosphot Posted May 8, 2015 #36 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Does guys have anything else but beef? There is the Pig Patty burger that has a bacon patty as well as the beef patty. It's real bacon bits smashed together into a patty. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in TX Posted May 8, 2015 #37 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I love the burgers and have never had a problem with the burgers being too greasy or limp fries. Me either! We generally eat very healthy at home but on our last cruise DH and I split one every day for lunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattyL Posted May 8, 2015 #38 Share Posted May 8, 2015 We loved them and ate one everyday on our Pride cruise last week. Liked the fries and all the toppings too. Just wish I could have eaten more than one each day :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWASide Posted May 8, 2015 #39 Share Posted May 8, 2015 According to Carnival.com they are on: Breeze Conquest Freedom Glory Liberty Pride Sunshine Triumph Vista Wow... they announced FunShip 2.0 how long ago? And that's IT?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drosphot Posted May 8, 2015 #40 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Wow... they announced FunShip 2.0 how long ago? And that's IT?!?! Yeah, not all 2.0 ships have Blue Iguana Cantina and Guy's. I wish the Magic had the Blue Iguana Cantina. We have two more sailings on her before she leaves Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legion3 Posted May 8, 2015 #42 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Guys is the BEST burgers around , Never had limp greasy fries on The Breeze Well I don't know your burger eating habits, but Guys are not the best burgers around but I will let that go as they are good for ship burgers. You were not with me then on my Breeze Cruise last week as the fries were always limp for me :p, never crispy, never worth having on the plate.

SMSACE6 Posted May 8, 2015 #43 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Well I did eat them, and enjoyed them, but I must say there was enough sodium on those fries to put anyone into renal failure! But I ate them. Saw people at the next table shaking salt on them. Agree though, there are better burgers elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvetwater Posted May 9, 2015 #44 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Since it will be over a year til we try Carnival's Guys burgers for the first time on the Vista hubby and I joked we should make our own so we found a recipe and video and are doing it tomorrow so will let you know how it goes. Theres a small chance we will be sailing on the Dream but she does not have them. They are here if anyone is interested: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/guy-fieri/straight-up-with-a-pig-patty-burger-recipe.html The best burger we had cost us £15 ($23) as it had the most amazing scottish beef and the bun had been handmade that morning on site. It also had lots of different leaves and the best Garlic mayonnaise ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranysT Posted May 10, 2015 Author #45 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I never found the burgers overly greasy, and they were always freshly made. I never tried the fries, but loved the little potato sticks from the fixings bar. I guess people put them on their burgers, but I would take a little pile of them, and munch on them along with the burger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallFour4 Posted May 10, 2015 #46 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I totally agree with you. I tried one on the Breeze and I was impressed. Now the Blue Iguana tacos and breakfast burritos were outstanding! The best. Little or no waiting and they travel well. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvetwater Posted May 11, 2015 #47 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) We made the burger via the recipes above and with my great cooking skill. They really were delicious although I prefer other burgers I have had. Its quite fashionable here at the moment to have gourmet burgers with chorizo, roe, seabass, quail eggs and all sorts in them. Some of them are very good! Although maybe Guy's are really delicious and I just screwed up yesterday :D. Whats for sure is that I will be making the Donkey sauce again...love Garlic mayonnaise.

love my grandkids Posted May 11, 2015 #48 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Well I did eat them, and enjoyed them, but I must say there was enough sodium on those fries to put anyone into renal failure! But I ate them. Saw people at the next table shaking salt on them. Agree though, there are better burgers elsewhere. Someone here made the suggestion to order the fries unseasoned. Will try that next time as we really dont need all that extra salt and they will be right out of the fryer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figdu Posted May 11, 2015 #49 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Love the burgers but have never tried the potato sticks. That will be on the list for the next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
