39august Posted June 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Anyone have experience with ordering this? Is it really the same as in Luminae? How long did it take to get your order? Thinking of trying this on a sea day next cruise on EQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twins_to_alaska Posted June 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I don't know but I was wondering if you can get during a port day on the sun deck... know Luminae itself is closed for lunch on port days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 26, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 26, 2023 We’ve had the burger at the Sun Deck. We. don’t care for the bacon jam (?) topping use they so had that left off. As far as we could tell it was the sam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, yes, on ships where the Luminae kitchen is on deck 3/4 it takes a while, 15 minutes at least, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted June 26, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Whoops! I meant on a port day, when Luminae is not open for lunch. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Apex in May we were able to order on the Sun Deck until 2:30 pm on a port day. We had went into the Retreat lounge just to get a snack and nothing was out. We were told to go upstairs to get something. It was pretty decent, took maybe 20 minutes. Little chilly eating up there since we were in Norway but we liked having it available.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted June 26, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I've also noticed sometimes the Retreat Deck staff come around offering Sliders (small burgers) and Fruit on a stick. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nado44 Posted June 26, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Retreat sun deck bar is always open for lunch even on port days. Can order shrimp cocktail, the famed Luminae burger, a chicken sandwich and one or two other items from their food menu. I'm also a fan of the Luminae burger too. I usually cut the huge buns in half in an effort to reduce carbs. Also always ask for mayo on the side as it pairs perfectly with the truffle fries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt very 'resort-y' eating it on the Edge sun deck last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I never thought mayo was good for fries but just yesterday I ate after church at Beasley’s in Raleigh, North Carolina where they give you two sauces for your fries. Mine were both mayo based. It’s a chicken and waffles place but I had the smash burger. I am a little annoyed at OP as my next cruise is not for 18 months. Good to know it’s open on port days.

No top bun for me also. We also had lunch on a port day on the Edge. I ordered 2 shrimp and 2 chicken Caesar wraps. Portions on the small side back in 2019. Had lunch last year on a port day in Alaska at the Retreat sun deck on Millie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaeBea1 Posted June 27, 2023 #19 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Is it possible to order the Luminae burger for dinner in Luminae on days when the menu isn't appealing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted June 27, 2023 Author #20 Share Posted June 27, 2023 You can order pretty much anything with advance notice. I would bet an order at lunch would be OK for dinner that same day for a burger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted June 28, 2023 #21 Share Posted June 28, 2023 If you order anything for room service you have to be very specific about what you want. If you order the burger be sure to ask for the condiments you want. I ordered one for lunch when in a suite. It came plain. The burger and the bun. The fries were cold and there wasn’t any ketchup, salt and etc. same with the burger, it came cold. We were confined to our suite for 7 days due to Covid. We got room service for every meal and learned a lot about room service. What you take for granted as being part of the order isn’t. If you don’t ask it isn’t provided. No butter or jam with the toast and etc. After that cruise we no longer want any room service except for some espressos in the morning. We got tired of it and don’t see the fascination. No matter how hard they tried everything came cold or warm at best. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
