JMCruising Posted February 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I was on the Liberty on November and was excited to try Guy's Burgers, as this was the first ship I was on that had it. When we went up to them, we were handed a plain burger and left to go put our toppings on from the toppings bar. My husband has pointed out the menus he has found online about the "Straight Up" and "Pig Patty." These seem like specifics that you order and they create for you. Am I wrong? Is Guy's just where you get handed a burger and then top it yourself, or can you order these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanmarcosman Posted February 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2018 That was the menu you saw that you order from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a menu right there at Guy's and yes, you either order A Straight Up, Pig Patty, etc or they hand you a regular cheeseburger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted February 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I had the same problem on the Elation in December. I wanted the one from the menu with onion ring and bbq sauce. He hands me a plain burger, I tell him which one i want, he reaches down gets a squirt bottle of sauce, squirts bbq sauce on it and ta da that was it, onion ring? nope. the buns were different, the burger is loose meat, but it was, how shall i say this- it was a burger. pizza is better.

Yeah... There really is no difference other than them placing barberque sauce or a onion ring on it before handing to you. Its like a production line....Burgers are cooked the same regardless of toppings!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted February 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Did you ask for anything or did you just take what they gave you? I always ask for a ringer and fries and have never had a problem. They don't really ask what you want. You just have to tell them. I have noticed people who just go through the line and don't say anything may just end up with a plain burger or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinderoo Posted February 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Had a Guy's burger on the Magic and was not impressed. The "Dive In Burger Bar" on the HAL Eurodam was far better. So I am "one and done" for Guy's. Its OK - there is plenty of food on a cruise ship and I sure won't starve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macklovin38 Posted February 20, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I have always wondered the same thing! I saw the menu but no one has ever asked what I wanted they just handed me a burger. Therefore, I thought that you went to the topping s bar to create the things listed on the menu. Kind of like the menu was really just ideas of how to create certain things. Thanks for asking that question! I’ll be on the Elation in 33 days. I’ll see if I can actually order one. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribsun Posted February 20, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 20, 2018 My last two cruises were on Freedom of the Seas and NCL Gem. Their burgers are cooked in advance and sit under a heat lamp. Can you say "shoe leather". Even w/o that onion ring a Guy's Burger is the best at sea. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgRockCruiser Posted February 20, 2018 #16 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hmm, when I grabbed a burger at Guy's I asked for a specific type (Pig Patty, IIRC?), as did many folks around me, and it was handed to be in the expected basic (non-topping) configuration. I guess if you have a bunch of folks in front of you that are happy for the basic burger, the whole line is kinda not saying anything and the server thinks you want the same. So lesson learned...ask for what you want! They'll tell ya if you can't have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elklemi Posted February 20, 2018 #17 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I have to agree with #8 and I miss the burgers they fixed on the Lido before Guy's. Have tried them and just do not see what so many others crave, the old burgers had more flavor and were larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffatsea Posted February 20, 2018 #19 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Guys burgers,with or without any special add ons are dry and tasteless!! I have never understood why folks like them?? I want thick juicy burgers and not thin pieces of dry meat!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaxsMama Posted February 20, 2018 #21 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I was just on the Magic and noticed too that they were just handing everyone a plain Jane unless someone asked for something else. Looked like people new to guys really didn't know they could order off the menu. Sent from my SM-G928V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheermomof2girls Posted February 20, 2018 #22 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I've always been handed a plain cheeseburger unless I request something different. They never seem to mind, but most seem to want the plain cheeseburger, so they offer those up to keep the line moving I assume. I don't like cheese on my burgers, so it's sometimes a little wait as they seem to automatically put the cheese on them. But not anything major, like 2 minutes, lol. Just noticeable, but not annoying or anything. On our first cruise, I thought the menu was just for suggestions on how you could make it yourself at the topping bar, they did not seem like you could get anything besides a plain burger or cheeseburger. But on every cruise after, I've asked or seen others ask, with no issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jgatts0212 Posted February 20, 2018 #24 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Embarkation day they just give out plain cheeseburgers. There are too many people to customize on embarkation day. The next day is when you get the pig patty, or ringer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keys2Heaven Posted February 20, 2018 #25 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I don't know what's more weird about this....the fact that you didn't know you could request one of the menu items or that you only went to Guy's once while on your cruise?! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
