grammybto7 Posted June 24, 2016 #26 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Like the smiley, no need to toughen up....glad to see the last few posters gave original op some good information and advise.....I just don't understand people who are rude and if they don't want to give good advice or information, why respond. I have my first cruise coming up in Feb 2017. It has been on my bucket list for years...I read these boards every day for information. I am sure I will have questions when my time comes and I hope I don't get the rude responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusinpsychRN Posted June 24, 2016 #28 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I prefer the whopper extra pickle and onion at BK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrate13 Posted June 24, 2016 #29 Share Posted June 24, 2016 It's been a while since we were there so...besides the McD's already mentioned there was a BK on Biscayne Blvd at NE 17th St and a Checkers on Biscayne between NE 16th and NE 17th. Of the two I prefer Checkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShdwKnght Posted June 24, 2016 #30 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Perhaps she was asking which one people prefer because chain restaurants can be different from one location to the next. Maybe one is in a better neighborhood, is cleaner or has better workers than the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkIVette Posted June 24, 2016 #31 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I prefer Popeye's Chicken. There is one in Des Moines, IA but then again, what does that have to do with Carnival anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U R in LUCK!! There are 7 in Miami, all closer than Des Moines, IA.:D:rolleyes: One is right off I-95 before the 395. But I would have thought you'd prefer a burger from Maid-Rite in Des Moines than a chained chicken place.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryCruiser Posted June 24, 2016 #34 Share Posted June 24, 2016 If it is available, spend that burger money on an FTTF and get on the ship right after the high class people. Then eat on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor_Poke Posted June 24, 2016 #35 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Not to hijack a thread, but we don't have any luggage. If we pack in grocery sacks, should we go with paper or plastic?:p:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oppalopa Posted June 24, 2016 #36 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Why do people have to be so mean....if you don't like the question...move on. Some of us are new to cruising. I know I will think twice before I ask questions on this forum for fear of being taken down by the "seasoned" cruisers who know it all but want to put down people who are asking questions that are important to them. Don't like it...don't respond. :mad: I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go with those re-usable cloth bags that are Green. Ok, enough already. Time to get serious. I like the Big Mac vs. the Whopper. Just sounds better for something I am about to put in my mouth.

Ok, enough already. Time to get serious. I like the Big Mac vs. the Whopper. Just sounds better for something I am about to put in my mouth. Cloth reusable bags will be an inefficient alternative to luggage. You would need a lot of them, they don't hold the weight well, and most of them don't close at the top. The Glad Drawstring bags pull closed and will hold up to 50 pounds before breaking - they will also stretch for bulky or odd shaped items. Have you tried Burger King's "Big King" burger? It's like a Big Mac but the patties are flame broiled (like all of BK's burgers). I find it a much nicer alternative. Of course if the OP is looking for non beef burgers, I'd also pick Burger King. Or Wendy's. Wendy's is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeda Posted June 25, 2016 #42 Share Posted June 25, 2016 down the street from bayside and the holiday inn, near the community college is a mcdonalds...we usually have breakfast there on embarkation day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badfinger Posted June 25, 2016 #43 Share Posted June 25, 2016 We're sailing on the Carnival Splendor and due to the late afternoon embarkation time we received we're looking for a nearby location to the pier in Miami for either a Burger King or McDonald's. Which do you prefer and why? I am ignoring all the noise. I prefer both equally as I think BK makes a much better hamburger, but McD makes betters fries and sweet tea (south TX so that is important). So like everything in life there is some compromise. Now if you were cruising out of Galveston, then Whataburger wins hands down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
przyk Posted June 25, 2016 #44 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Thanks for the entertainment this morning. I'm not sure what's funnier, the joke or the number of people who don't get that it's a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
