brilliantseas Posted December 5, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Currently onboard Carnival Legend and I am sad to report that Carnival has done away with Guy's Fries! At least the fresh-cut French fries that they used to serve. I had heard rumors of the change being made on the Mardi Gras, but it appears as if it is spreading fleet-wide. The new fries are a frozen, skin-on fry with a slightly spicy seasoning. Sadly, they are far inferior to the fresh-cut fries that Guy's Burgers used to serve.

Bgcruising Posted December 5, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I didnt really notice the difference. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliot Ness Posted December 5, 2021 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I was never a big fan of their fries anyway. I like the burgers OK and sure, I always ate a few fries, but to tell the truth I liked the burgers, fries, hot dogs, and chicken on the old grills a little better. Not to say I won't be wolfing down a Guy's burger on the Glory next Sunday 😁 John 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwrestler171 Posted December 5, 2021 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I will say that I did notice that nothing at Guys was as good as I remembered. Only had 1 burger and fries on my cruise last month. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinaInTexas Posted December 5, 2021 #6 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Noticed last month the fries were different but wasn't sure. Different texture, different taste, didn't like the seasoning. Prob why I only ate there once that trip boooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small difference in appearance, but a big difference in taste and texture. The fresh-cut fries have a soft texture and bend easily. The new ones are frozen and have a crispy exterior. The closest thing I can compare them to is the old skin-on fries from Wendy's, and that isn't a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger0613 Posted December 5, 2021 #9 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) I had the fries on the Valor 11/29. They looked the same, but they had less seasoning than before. Edited December 5, 2021 by Tiger0613 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanadaydreaming Posted December 5, 2021 #10 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Was on Horizon late Oct burger and fries were just as i temembered them. Delicious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicnic96 Posted December 5, 2021 #11 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I hope this isn't true as I was on the Horizon in October and they were the originals. I will definitely notice a difference if there is one on the Dream in January and I'll definitely be letting Carnival know as I like the fries almost as much as the burgers! I realize handmade fries take more labor but no need to skimp on such a simple item! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BasicSailor Posted December 6, 2021 #14 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Yes, they were changed even before the shutdown started or in the process of. Not as much Tater now 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silent Penguin Posted December 6, 2021 #15 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Yeah, now that you mention it, I thought they were smaller and skinnier, but they still tasted great to me! I had 3 burgers while on the Legend a couple weeks ago, and that's 2 more than any other cruise. Our disembarkment was so delayed that the captain allowed for 3 food venues to open for lunch. Guy's burger (no bun) and fries for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Knew they were different but until this thread didn't really realize how. We eat at Guy's more for the burgers anyway and try to minimize the fry consumption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davy jones Posted December 6, 2021 #22 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I always thought that Guy's fries were limp and soggy. I order my burger at Guy's without fries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted December 6, 2021 #23 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Was on the Freedom for Thanksgiving. The fries were as I remember them. The Deli's new menu has fries and they are much better than Guy's in my opinion. Deli's fries with Guy's seasoning is really all Carnival needs to do in my opinion. But I do appreciate their desire for each venue to have a distinct menu. Otherwise things get repetitive for some people after a few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonsterling Posted December 6, 2021 #24 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I never really liked the fries at Guy's- the burgers are great though and despite reports the burger I had there in August seemed the same to me. I actually prefer the fries at the Seafood Shack- those are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mar214 Posted December 6, 2021 #25 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Tried Guy's fries once - soggy and way too greasy for me. Never tried them again! Very happy to hear there might be new Guy's fries!!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
