cruise47 Posted July 24, 2017 #52 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Sound liked this CC Board may have had played apart in the change of upper mgt decisions making on this fee burger. Three cheers for CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaos28 Posted July 24, 2017 #53 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Very interesting. Just off July 16 Equinox sailing. Definitely confirm that Mast Grill burgers free on Day 1 only and $9.95 Day 2 until end of cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaos28 Posted July 24, 2017 #54 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Equinox does not have the Lawn Grill So were the $10.00 extra fee burgers on the top deck/ lawn grill on this solstice class ship? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagoffee Posted July 24, 2017 #55 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I just got off the Equinox this morning after being on for two weeks and never paid for a hamburger at the Mast Grill. They were very good and free. Just off July 16 Equinox sailing. Definitely confirm that Mast Grill burgers free on Day 1 only and $9.95 Day 2 until end of cruise Kaos28, your experience lines up with what other people have reported. Perhaps Clive's was in a high end suite that did not need to pay or he/she is confused? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLH Arizona Posted July 24, 2017 #56 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Possibly the OP is correct and the burgers didn't sell well on the two ships and they decided to scrap the whole idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for one, just don't care either way but know a lot of people are really angry about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaKnowWhen Posted July 24, 2017 #58 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Here is the menu from last week: Relatives still onboard. Asked why burgers were free on embarkation day and if the pay burgers will be back. Were told it is "Up in the air". I think Celebrity got a LOT of negative feedback and is reconsidering..... Good menu! Looks to me like a real upgrade. Thanks Celebrity, I am looking forward to this. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo70 Posted July 24, 2017 #60 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Good menu! Looks to me like a real upgrade. Thanks Celebrity, I am looking forward to this. Good menu?!? It is blatant false advertising. They are NOT using Kobe Beef, it is questionable whether the beef they are using is dry aged and $9.95 for a hotdog that does not have an expensive ingredient (such as freshly shaved truffles) is outrageous. Looks like Celebrity has at least temporarily pulled the plug either because of the vast majority of cruisers likely being upset about this change and/or over legal concerns pertaining to the false advertising.

Rare missthesea Posted July 24, 2017 #61 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Or maybe they are worried about prosecution over blatant false advertising..... Either way ok! I'm hoping it is still a no added cost venue when we sail in 2 weeks. If they bring the TDBB back let's hope they keep the "free" options poolside also and drop the "Kobe Beef" label which they have admitted is not accurate.

LMKohler Posted July 24, 2017 #62 Share Posted July 24, 2017 They really have a burger called " The *** Burger"[emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33].

CHEZMARYLOU Posted July 24, 2017 #65 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Actually, this is a burger that they serve at the Lawn Club Grill on Silhouette and Reflection. Quite good and it does include table service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHEZMARYLOU Posted July 24, 2017 #67 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Yesterday, I asked about the charge on Equinox being no more on the site whose name shall not be mentioned. I got this response just now. " I asked them at Embarkation yesterday .No longer fee for fare, just tried it last week to see how it would be received." I'm guessing that it would be "they just tried ..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYKWIA Posted July 24, 2017 #70 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm thinking Celebrity sauce is to Ghost chilli like burger is to Celebrity Kobe. A yeah right. I enjoy spicy food and at a party a few years ago my friends and I each tried a tiny piece of Ghost Chilli (when it was known as the world's hottest) - it was incredibly hot. If this sauce reflects the heat of Ghost Chillis if you are not fan of VERY spicy food then the burger would probably be inedible . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazzi Posted July 25, 2017 #71 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Sooooooooooo......... whats the verdict free or fee lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acstall Posted July 25, 2017 #72 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Well I'm sorry they had to "try" charging at the Mast Grill on my cruise. Just off Equinox yesterday and Mast was definitely listed as a for fee venue. We had plenty of OBC but did not consider using it at a counter service grill in the hot sun. On ships with Lawn Club you can still go to Mast Grill. Offering the same food doesn't make it the same experience. Too bad they didn't do the market research first. It was a bad corporate decision even if reversed one week later. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Chucktown; you have to translate Celebrity-speak: *Kobe Beef = American Kobe Style Beef Blend *Dry Aged = Wet Aged *Prime = Commercial *Nominal Fee = $10 Hot dogs *Homemade = From a factory *Gourmet = $10 Hot dogs *Top Deck = Two Floors Below Top Deck *W.T.F = $10 Hot dogs *Ghost Pepper = Jalapeno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
