KroozNut Posted September 5, 2023 #51 Share Posted September 5, 2023 28 minutes ago, jeh10641 said: I realize that the original question was about no extra cost burgers so no need for a discussion over free /no extra charge in this thread. Since Celebrity burgers were brought up, I will give a strong vote for the "free" poolside burgers/fries/shakes (the last not free) on HAL ships. Jim Actually, the original question asked about 'free' burgers, hence the ensuing discussion. But I think we've thoroughly beat that dead horse, and we can move on now. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KroozNut Posted December 15, 2023 #54 Share Posted December 15, 2023 There are no 'free' burgers on any HAL cruise, or any other cruise for that matter. 🙂 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum2Mercury Posted December 15, 2023 #57 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Random thoughts: - I think burgers are always available at Windjammer at lunch and dinner. I don't choose burgers often onboard, but they're good ... not the best I've ever had, but certainly good. - "Burger of the Day" seems to be a popular choice. - I don't think walking into the Windjammer is all that difficult a task ... it's quite close to the pools. - I've never had to fight anyone to get food at Windjammer. Sure, I've waited in line, but I have never encountered difficulties such as some people whine about. - I don't understand why anyone buys burgers at Johnny Rockets when they're free in Windjammer. - This discussion of free vs. included in the ticket price shows that some people here will fuss over anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can walk up and request a freshly grilled puck for your burger anytime. I've done it. The only reason they are normally not tasty is that they've sat there for an hour. And tell them you want the cheese melted too. They'll grill them that way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, burgers are probably the single most popular item at lunch each day. They're not sitting around for an hour; they turn over pretty quickly. 26 minutes ago, KroozNut said: Trust me, you paid for those burgers up front (with your cruise fares). 😉 Definitely!

Some items (including some food items) are offered at no additional charge (included with the cruise fare), while other items incur an additional charge at point of sale onboard the ship. It is the 'included with the cruise fare' items that some folks confuse with and incorrectly characterize as 'free'. 🙂 Whatever. You know what they meant, but couldn't resist a lecture what "free" means to you..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the cost of ice cubes is part of your total fare. You are also paying for the10 free drinks a day my wife and I get as D+. That being said is does not cost you much for the Salmon you don't eat as 6000 guests pick up the cost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
