Carnival Guy’s Burger Joint Breakfast Menu: Breakfast Burgers & What to Expect
Guy’s Burger Joint is one of Carnival Cruise Line’s best-known casual dining venues, created through Carnival’s partnership with chef and television personality Guy Fieri. While the restaurant is primarily associated with its popular lunchtime burgers and hand-cut fries, some Carnival cruisers may encounter something a little different in the morning: a Guy’s Burger Joint breakfast menu.
The breakfast menu shown below features four substantial breakfast sandwiches, including beef, turkey sausage, and a vegetable frittata option. Each is served with home fries and incorporates breakfast ingredients into the over-the-top burger style associated with Guy’s.

Guy’s Burger Joint on Carnival Cruise Line
Guy’s Burger Joint is Carnival’s casual poolside burger venue developed in partnership with Guy Fieri. Carnival describes the restaurant as a roadside burger shack-inspired concept serving freshly grilled burgers and hand-cut fries.
The standard Guy’s Burger Joint menu is available for lunch and features familiar choices such as the Plain Jane, Straight Up, Pig Patty, and The Ringer. The breakfast menu is quite different, replacing those lunchtime combinations with sandwiches built around eggs, bacon, hash browns, breakfast sausage, and other morning ingredients.
Guy’s Burger Joint is complimentary on Carnival ships where it is offered, although availability, menus, and operating hours can vary by ship and sailing. Check the Carnival HUB App or the ship’s daily program for the schedule during your cruise.
Guy’s Burger Joint Breakfast Menu
The photographed breakfast menu has four choices, and all of them are served with home fries.
• Plain Joe – An 80/20 beef patty with two fried eggs, S.M.C., cheddar cheese, and a generous serving of Maple Donkey Sauce on a toasted bun.
• All American – An 80/20 beef patty with two fried eggs, S.M.C., cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, tomato, a hashbrown patty, and Maple Donkey Sauce on a toasted bun.
• Prime Time Turkey – A turkey breakfast sausage patty with maple gravy, provolone, crispy bacon, a hashbrown patty, and Maple Donkey Sauce on a French toast bun.
• Good Morning Morgan – A roasted vegetable frittata patty with tomato, a hashbrown patty, and Maple Donkey Sauce on a toasted bun.
This is a notably hearty breakfast menu. Instead of traditional plates of eggs, pancakes, or breakfast meats, Guy’s combines familiar breakfast ingredients into substantial sandwiches.
What Is S.M.C.?
The menu uses the abbreviation S.M.C., which stands for Super Melty Cheese.
It is an ingredient also associated with the regular Guy’s Burger Joint menu, where it appears on several of the venue’s signature burgers.
What Is Maple Donkey Sauce?
The breakfast menu also introduces a morning variation of one of Guy’s signature burger condiments.
According to the menu, Maple Donkey Sauce is Guy’s famous aioli sweetened with a touch of maple sauce.
It appears on all four breakfast sandwiches, giving the breakfast menu a common flavor element despite the different proteins and toppings.
Which Guy’s Breakfast Sandwich Has the Most Toppings?
Based strictly on the photographed menu, the All American has the longest list of ingredients.
It combines a beef patty with two fried eggs, two types of cheese, crispy bacon, tomato, a hashbrown patty, and Maple Donkey Sauce.
The Plain Joe is the simpler beef option, while the Prime Time Turkey replaces beef and eggs with a turkey breakfast sausage patty and adds maple gravy.
For passengers looking for an option without the beef or turkey breakfast patties listed in the other sandwiches, the Good Morning Morgan uses a roasted vegetable frittata patty.
Does Guy’s Burger Joint Serve Its Regular Burgers for Breakfast?
The breakfast menu pictured here is separate from Carnival’s standard Guy’s Burger Joint lunch menu.
Carnival’s regular menu centers on burgers such as the Plain Jane, Straight Up, Pig Patty, Chilius Maximus, and The Ringer. The breakfast menu instead features the Plain Joe, All American, Prime Time Turkey, and Good Morning Morgan.
Because Carnival can change restaurant schedules and menu availability, passengers should not assume the breakfast menu will be offered on every ship or every sailing. The onboard schedule or Carnival HUB App is the best place to confirm what is actually available during a particular cruise.
Is Guy’s Burger Joint Included in the Cruise Fare?
Guy’s Burger Joint is a complimentary Carnival dining venue on ships where it is available. Carnival currently lists Guy’s Burger Joint among its included dining choices.
That makes it an appealing option for passengers who want a quick casual meal without paying the additional charge associated with some specialty restaurants.
The photographed breakfast menu itself does not display individual prices or surcharges.
Guy’s Burger Joint Breakfast vs. Traditional Carnival Breakfast
This menu offers a very different type of breakfast from what passengers might find elsewhere onboard.
Rather than a traditional sit-down breakfast, the emphasis is on portable, filling breakfast sandwiches. Beef patties, fried eggs, bacon, turkey sausage, hash browns, cheese, maple flavors, and Guy’s signature sauce combinations make these much closer to breakfast burgers than a conventional morning meal.
Passengers planning a busy port day may appreciate having another casual breakfast option when it is available, while those wanting a more traditional breakfast can check the other dining venues and schedules offered during their sailing.
Tips for Finding Guy’s Breakfast During Your Cruise
Restaurant hours can change between port days and sea days, so checking the daily schedule is important.
Before heading to Guy’s Burger Joint for breakfast:
• Check the Carnival HUB App or daily program for that morning’s dining hours.
• Confirm that breakfast is being served at Guy’s Burger Joint on your particular ship.
• Remember that the breakfast menu is different from the standard Guy’s lunch menu.
• Allow extra time if you are eating before an excursion or an early arrival in port.
