Carnival just added a $25 wagyu cheeseburger to the menus on Carnival Celebration, so I headed over to Fahrenheit 555 to give it a try. We’ll take a look at the size of this thing, what comes on it, how the fries held up and whether I think it’s worth your money.

Key Takeaways
- The wagyu cheeseburger is $25, and it’s on the main dining room, Cucina del Capitano, Chibang and Fahrenheit 555 menus on Carnival Celebration.
- It’s a 14oz burger everywhere except Fahrenheit 555, where you get a 16oz version.
- I had it in the steakhouse, which has a $52 cover charge on top of the $25 burger.
- When you order the burger, you can still get another entree off the regular menu, so I added some shrimp, plus broccoli on the side.
- It comes with bacon, onion straws, lettuce, tomato and cheddar, and the patty is huge.
- The burger was very juicy, but it was so messy it fell apart, so you’ll want a knife and fork.
- The fries are the same ones they serve at Guy’s Burger Joint, and mine were limp and disappointing.
Good to Know
If you’re curious about this burger, think about where you order it. In the steakhouse it’s the bigger 16oz version, but you’re paying the cover charge plus the $25. In the main dining room, Cucina del Capitano or Chibang, it’s the 14oz burger.
The burger itself was juicy and loaded with toppings, but the fries really let it down, and the portion of fries didn’t match the size of the burger. Don’t plan on eating this one with your hands, and keep a napkin handy. I came away with mixed feelings, so I’ll let you decide if it’s worth a try on your next cruise.
