Johnny Rockets

[seaandsea]

I was reading a cruise ship review on the Mariner of the Sea and it said there was not an additional charge to eat at Johnny Rockets unless you had a milk-shake. I have heard there was a $3.95 charge per visit. Who is right? Thanks for the info.

$3.95 per visit. Shakes extra. JRs is a personal choice options for those wanting a better burger. The no charge burgers are still available by the pool.

It must have been an old review as there is definitely a $3.95 charge. If you are a member of the Crown & Anchor society you will get a coupon for one free meal at Johnny Rockets.

We were on the 1/15 sailing of the Mariner and went to Johnny Rockets once. $3.95 per person charge. We didn't order shakes. They did have drink prices on the menu so we were expecting to pay extra for our chocolate Cokes but they didn't charge us for them. Total bill was $7.90, plus tip.

Your question can be answered by visiting the new RCI FAQ thread above that is now a sticky at the top of the RCI board.

I was on Mariner of the Seas in July and it was $3.95, but when I cruised on Voyager in June 2004, it was free. They must have just changed it in 2005.

When do you get the C&A booklet? THis is our 2nd cruise so we've signed up.

It will be waiting on your bed in your cabin when you get there. If it isn't, ask your room steward.

In my opinion, the burgers at JR are no better than the burgers in the Windjammer. Now if you're into onion rings :) , I have seen them nowhere else on ship and they are fantastic at JR! As a C&A member, you'll get a free coupon to go once, but I don't believe that pertains to children as I believe they cannot be a member of C&A.

We just got off the Voyager (first RCI cruise, 9th cruise overall)and tried Johnny Rockets. Have been to Johnny Rockets at home several times. We were disappointed in the burgers. They DID taste like the burgers in the Windjammers (is it really beef????). Not like the Johnny Rockets at home. The service was great, but not worth the $3.95 per person charge IMO

We sailed on the Mariner in October. $3.95 per person to get in (they charge it to your seapass as they do with everything) and extra for milkshakes.

 

You may have read a post in which the person used their Crown and Anchor coupon to get in for free.

When we sailed this past October, we dropped by Johnny Rockets to get two shakes and fries to go and they only charged us for the shakes. I figured we would still get the surcharge either way but we did not. We were only charged the 3.95 per person when we sat and dined there.

I admit, everyone's taste is different, but for me the made to order burgers in JRs are so much better than those other burgers that are fried and put in a pan to stay warm until someone wants one. JRs are tasty and juicy while the others are dried out. JRs "appear" to be fresh meat while the others seem to be the typical fast food frozen patties.

bamabound - you are correct that they changed to a "charging" system last year. This was due to many teenagers using JR as a hangout and sitting for hrs. In order to control the crowds and to allow more people the opportunity to go, they went to a "one-time" perk for C&A members and service charge for others.

 

seandsea - many people don't use all their coupons so you might be able to find someone to give you their C&A coupons. (They just have someone at the door to collect them so they don't check to see of you are a member). They use the same book on all the ships as I recieved the same one on the Mariner in Oct. as I did last week on the Radiance. I have 2 JR coupons because that ship did not have one. Even if they did, I'm with friedshrimp - the one up the street from me has better burgers.

Hi Maureen,

Are you cruising again before your coupons expire? I would send you a stamped envelope if you are not using yours.

Thanks, Cheryl
