Carnival Cruise's Guy's Burger Joint: Tips, Info, & Food Pictures

1/2/2023

 
Carnival Cruise Guy's Burger Joint
       Guy's Burger Joint is Carnival Cruise Line's hamburger grill, which was inspired by the Food Network's Guy Fieri. As a part of Carnival's Fun Ship 2.0 initiative, this feature has been installed on most Carnival ships. This post will discuss the Guy's Burger Joint menu items as of 2023, share some toppings bar & burger pictures, & give some general information about getting a burger on a Carnival Cruise. 

Guy's Burger Joint Menu & How To Order Burgers:
        The menu for Guy's Burger Joint is posted behind the counter on the wall.  When you get to the counter to order, you will be asked which burger option you would like. There are five choices posted on the menu for you to choose from. These choices are the "Plain Jane", "Straight Up", "Pig Patty", "Chilius Maximus", and "The Ringer".  Here are a few brief descriptions of each burger type listed on the menu:
  • Plain Jane
           As the name suggests, the Plain Jane comes with the buns and meat. Cruisers will have the choice to have cheese on their meat or not. This option does not include any sauces or toppings from behind the counter. If a cruiser wants any toppings or sauces, they must go to the Toppings Bar that is located away from the main ordering counter.
  • Straight Up
              This type of burger automatically comes with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, meat, and the buns. The menu also says this burger comes with "donkey sauce". From my experience, donkey sauce tastes very similar to mayo. When a cruiser orders this type of hamburger, the crew members will automatically give these things. 
    TIP:  If you do not want one of the things I listed above, your best option is to order the Plain Jane and then get your toppings from the Toppings Bar. 
  • Pig Patty
                 This type of burger is essentially the same thing as the Straight Up burger, but it comes with bacon. By ordering the Pig Patty, a cruiser will receive the same toppings as the Straight Up burger, but also a topping of bacon. 
    TIP:  If you do not want one of the things I listed above, your best option is to order the Plain Jane and then get your toppings from the Toppings Bar. ​
  • Chilius Maximus
                This type of burger comes with an onion ring, cheese, donkey sauce, and chili. 
  • The Ringer
                 This burger is also essentially the same thing as the Straight Up burger, but it comes with an onion ring and a special sauce known as "Guy's Bourbon and Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce". 

Is there a Veggie burger available onboard Carnival ships? 
               Carnival Cruise Line updated the deli menu in 2022 which shows a Veggie burger under the Hot Sandwiches section. Prior to this update, some Carnival ships served veggie burgers at Guy's Burger Joint. I do not know if they are still served at Guy's Burger Joint too, but they should be on the deli menu based on the 2022 update. If you are on the ship and cannot find where the Veggie burger is served, ask a crew member in the buffet for help! ​
Note About The Fries:
Do not forget to ask for fries! Most of the time the crew will automatically put fries on the plate, but not always. You can ask for extra fries if you want more, but also if you want a reduced amount feel free to ask for less. There has been an ongoing debate on several cruise forums and Facebook pages regarding a change in the Guy's Burger Joint fries. Below is a comparison of the fries I was served on a December 2021 Carnival Breeze cruise and a September 2022 Carnival Breeze cruise. The fries were slightly different between these cruises,  but I personally liked both.

Toppings Bar:
           Guy's Burger Joint has a toppings bar that is separate from the main ordering counter. The toppings bar includes things such as mushrooms, onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. There are also some sauces available such as ketchup, mustard, mayo, ranch, and chipotle mayo. Sometimes bacon is available on the toppings bar, but if not you can ask for some bacon behind the Guy's Burger Joint counter. Mushrooms are no longer available at the Guy's Burger Joint toppings bar.

Carnival Venezia Guy's Burger Joint
           The Carnival Venezia is scheduled to debut in May 2023  and will feature a special Guy's Burger Joint. Carnival announced classic American burgers and fries will be served from this Guy's Burger Joint, but in addition there will be some menu items that have an Italian theme. The press release specifically mentioned a pepperoni pizza burger and a burger smothered in mozzarella cheese. The full menu of the Carnival Venezia Guy's Burger Joint has not be released at the time of updating this page. This ship was formerly the Costa Venezia and is transferring over to Carnival's fleet.
Carnival Luminosa Burgers
                The Carnival Luminosa is a ship that debuted in November 2022 after being transferred over from Costa Cruises. The ship does not have a Guy's Burger Joint, but instead has an "Off the Grill" line which serves burgers. 
        As I mentioned earlier in this article, not all Carnival ships have Guy's Burger Joint. Check on Carnival's website to check to see if your ship has Guy's Burger Joint to avoid disappointment. If your ship does not yet have Guy's Burger Joint, hamburgers are still served at the Lido buffet.
