"Apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze" -- Isn't that the old slogan?

^{I see alot of people mentioning the cover charge. on the Anthem there was no cover, all items were ala carte. $2.95 for a burger, etc. And it was right by the pool so no burger bbq poolside.}  

[monctonguy 1,287]

Interesting..I have not heard of any of the ships in the fleet doing JR's a la carte pricing.

 

Wonder if this is something new they are trying....or if this was just so they can cut back on the food they offer around the pool(no more or very few pool bbq's now or sail away buffets or midnight buffets or)

 

While I think being able to buy 1 item or 2 for less than the $6.95 cover charge, overall I think I would rather just be charged the flat rate and not have to worry about how much each item is or how much I have eaten!..ha

The Quantum class ships have a la carte pricing for Johnny Rockets

[UkuleleCruiser 164]

I have sailed the Navigator, and they had alacarte pricing at Johnny Rockets. I am sailing the Liberty (In exactly seven days!) and I believe they also have alacarte pricing.

Did you get it to go by chance? I have heard that they charge a la carte on did with a flat fee if you do this.

Didn't eat there, but looked at the menu.

I thought it was only the quantum class ships that did the a la carte pricing for JR's????

We always visit Johnny Rockets at least once on a cruise - love it !!

Ok, I am sorry to ask so many dang questions but I know nothing about cruising...Did I see there was a Johnny Rockets and a Sorrentos pizza aboard the new Jewel of the Seas? 2016 Fall?

I don't understand why you would pay extra to eat at Johnny Rockets.  You can get burgers and hot dogs in Windjammer.  On Sea Days, they set up a pool-side buffet with burgers and hot dogs.  You can eat at Sonic (and a dozen other burger places) in any home town.

lol!!! Yes! I've never heard anyone else use that, my grandma used to say it. "Pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze". My wife rolls her eyes whenever I say it 😋

I feel the same way.  We actually had a Johnny Rockets restaurant in my town for a year or so, but it failed due to there being so many other better hamburger options locally.  I don't understand the appeal of a burger that is of the same quality of what's sitting under the heat lamps in the Windjammer. It's just a glorified McDonalds.

 

We're sailing on Carnival Triumph in August and will check out Guy's Burger Joint ... just for the sake of comparison, of course.

Guy's Burgers kicks JR's butt and without an extra charge.  The toppings bar alone is worth the price of what JR charges.  The pig patty (a patty made completely out of ground bacon) is a bit salty, however.  They'll even top your burger with onion rings if you want.

 

Carnival's complimentary burrito/taco bar also beats Rita's Cantina.  In addition, they have a really good selection of salsas (try the watermelon) and breakfast burritos made to order in the morning.  The only downside is limited hours.  I think they close by 2 or 3 in the afternoon each day.  Guy's is open a bit later (6ish), but I hear they are considering staying open later.

Say what you want about JR, but, you cannot do better than "The Works" for breakfast. And, there is no charge for a breakfast in Johnny Rockets!. Just wish they had larger coffee mugs. 

[Guest toodle68]

For my last cruise.. and all future cruises more than 3 nights, I will be taking my 16oz coffee mug.. I loved popping up to WJ to fill it with coffee and return to my cabin.

Good point! Breakfast is a great complimentary option there.

Has anybody seen long waits on Harmony now that it is a comp. meal for Boardwalk cabin folks??

Is complimentary for all of these cabins on all Oasis class ships. For what it's worth, it was always easy to get seats on the Allure, probably given the long hours that it's open. Sea days were more crowded, but I never saw a wait when I went by.

[Rose City Cruiser 421]

can't wait for JR burgers and freedom fries!!

[WAAAYTOOO 7,688]

I was on the Harmony in Feb and I don't recall there being a long wait.  We went for lunch and it was yummy !!

This may be a silly question, but are the shakes included in the drink package?
