Churro Waffles- Concierge Only?

[dreamer17555]

So now we have reports from both the Maiden and the the 4 night Thanksgiving cruise (back at port tomorrow morning) that the Destiny is no longer serving churro mickey waffles except for those guests who are concierge (offered in the concierge lounge).

What do you think about this? Do you think the Destiny will eventually join the rest of the fleet offering churro mickey waffles on the final full day or do you predict that they will be come a concierge only perk moving forward?

No more churro waffles except for concierge? Nooooooooo!

On the maiden, they were promising them on the final sea day. I was in the buffet on the first day and heard upwards of 20 people ask about churro waffles and the cast members kept promising them on that sea day. Cut to the sea day and they didn’t have them. I heard reports of guests berating frontline cast members about it. It’s a chef/management decision and not something to abuse a frontline cast member about, although this guest behavior is in-line with other similar behavior I witnessed on the maiden.

I read online (so I take it with a grain of salt) that they will be served in Concierge and offered for a fee to non concierge...so an upcharge to have them. Again, this has not been confirmed by anything official from Disney. I would be very upset by this....just on principle. First charging for snack foods in the pubs when it used be complimentary and now, if true, upcharging for the churro waffles. Leaves a bitter taste...

No , I think it’s fine to complain to everyone so the message gets heard

It’s not an impossibility on their part; it’s a decision to put yet another thing behind a paywall to squeeze more “yield” out of the customer. I’m going in a few months and will just stand uncomfortably with a plate outside the concierge area.

Inconceivable

Well that really stinks. I hope that is untrue. Just for concierge or you have to pay extra? Monetizing waffles? Come on DCL, you can do better.

How could you actually be charged for churro waffles? Would everyone have to sign a payment slip at Marceline Market before having one put on your plate? That just seems unlikely.

And I am in the camp of taking or leaving them. They are good, but not good enough to pay extra for.

Me too. I'll take one when they have them at the buffet, but I never quite understood the hype around them.

That said, this is a ridiculous move by DCL. Did they feel the need to make concierge guests think they are getting some additional value?
