Where to get food when you first get on the Magic?

I was just going to mention those! Not sure if they’re available as soon as you board the ship though. I wish the Dream had them because they are delicious. I’ll be booking a placeholder on my upcoming Cruise next month. I’ve been looking at 5-night cruises out of Miami on the Magic so I’m really looking forward to it experiencing a new ship and lots of Shawarma.

good to know..... I like having options!

It gets more crowded as the day goes on. Just be aware that everything closes at 3:30! for the lifeboat drill.

Thank you! I think the last time we went we boarded late, but this time I picked the earliest boarding!!

Feb '17 we went down to the restaurant that was in the place of Rapunzel's Royal Court to eat. I prefer something that over the Cabanas. So my question is have they moved it to Lumieres?

Gotcha, yes, and it is no longer a buffet but you order off a lunch menu at Lumiere's/Tritons.

Just so your not frustrated when you get there... what you picked was a Port Arrival Time.
When you arrive and check in you will be given a boarding number. Concierge and Platinum guest get #1 and then they start with everyone else. The earlier your PAT the lower your boarding number.
At Port Canaveral they usually start boarding the ship 11:15-11:30. Once they start boarding it usually goes very quick with the next number being called every few minutes.
Have a great cruise.

From where?! This has me excited for the first meal

Shawarma is on the pool deck next to Pete's. At least in our experience, it is available for embarkation lunch, although perhaps not immediately. I may or may not have had the first slices cut on a couple of cruises

Thank you for pointing this out! I'm glad you told me so I can be patient.
