Goodbye to Free Burgers and Mast Grill ???

[The_Big_M]

In my opinion, this is the kind of thing that makes long time Celebrity passengers upset. We use to be able to get things like this freshly made with no problems. Great service and great food. Now it seems like we are in inconvenience when we don't go and pay extra for the food that is already suppose to be included in our cruise fare.

 

It's easier to get the burgers freshly made at Burger King.

So the marketing people determined that they are better off NOT raising cruise fare $2 per person and better off keeping the price point lower and charging $10 per burger.

 

Wouldn't be the first time Celebrity marketing got it wrong, in that case.

 

Though I don't believe this arose from that area in any case...

Hi. Is this going to be on all the Celebrity ships and when are they going to replace the mast grill on each ship? Also, is there no more sushi at the buffet on the summit

Burger King and McDonald's use frozen meat to make their burgers, so that's impossible.

Freshly made means cooked when ordered not precooked. The meat on the ship is frozen also.

The burgers at Top Deck will not be previously frozen.

Maybe not as hamburger patties, but the meat will be frozen.

The meat will absolutely be frozen. In the majority of the places Celebrity sails, the food, with the exception of fruits, vegetables and some re-stock items, comes in containers on ships from Miami. No way to keep beef fresh for the 6-8 weeks of that process if it is not frozen.

How is that even possible?

Maybe they stop every couple of days to pick up hamburger at the store, since it can only be left in the fridge for 2 days!!;)

Fly it in daily, that's why it costs $10 :halo:

That buzzing sound you can hear is the fleet of burger drones swooping in with today's delivery. :halo:

I do not cook much so pls don't laugh at me, but wouldn't the chef or butcher on board be grinding ths burger meat from the special beef...not using pre ground frozen patties?

 

On S class they could graze them on the lawn...

They will also produce milk for the homemade cheese on the cheeseburgers .

As well there will be hydroponically grown tomatoes and lettuce .

I love it! There are creative people on CC. Grass fed fresh beef and byproducts. :)

Celebrity is already planning to sell onboard farm tours. Base price will be in the $100 range, but there's a number of add-on activities, such as milking the cows and picking farm produce, that will be available for an extra $10. Those wishing to milk the cows will also be able to rent rubber boots for a reasonable sum TBD. :cool:

Yes. Beef that is properly frozen, stored and defrosted is virtually indistinguishable quality wise from never frozen beef. However for high quality burgers, the meat itself needs to be freshly ground and be good quality beef. This can be done from meat that was previously frozen. For the new venue to be worth the cover charge the meat needs to be freshly ground and be at least USDA choice, preferably prime or dry aged prime.

I must have missed that. Would you mind sharing where you saw the burger mean will not have been previously frozen? Thankx.

Looks like I confused freshly grilled with fresh meat. Please forgive me.
