We flew into Ft. Lauderdale on SW Air, and took a shuttle to Miami to board the ship. Embarkation went very smoothly, no bad lines. Shuttle to Miami was about 30-35 minutes.
Once onboard we toured the ship. The first night we did not do the dining, and opted for quick food. There are two Burger/Fries/Tenders/Hot Dog locations. We ate that afternoon once we got on. This seemed to be the easiest quickest way to eat during the day for lunch. Lines at the buffett and even these Burger places would get very very long.
We would get moving on the ship for the day about, 11 AM. Lunch in the buffett, or dining areas wouldn't start until 12:00 Noon. So we'd always grab a burger or something. This food was okay, but nothing better than average for a burger or hot dog.
Great location, away from any noise. Not far from elevators, easy to get to any level of the ship for quick access. Starboard side.
