Review summary

We have sailed out of Charleston many times. We drove from Greenville SC to Charleston the night before and stayed at the Fairfield Inn near the Tanger Outlets. The $179.00 rate included parking and transportation round trip to the Port of Charleston. The Ecstasy just came out of dry dock in January and bring a frequent cruiser on Carnival I expected the ship to be more spruced up. Since we had a Pack and Go special we were assigned cabin R248. The lowest deck and the last cabin on the port side. The room was nice the room steward was great! We were concerned about the engine noise but it was not a problem. The only noise was the side thrusters that were utilized when coming into port. Good wake up call!

The food and service were very good. As I mentioned for coming out of dry dock the ship still seemed tired in appearance.

Nassau: We have been here many times. We bypass the hackers and wale to Junkaroo Beach! It's about a 15 minute walk from the ship. If you go there check out the Bikini Tiki Hut bar. They have the best deals on drinks in Nassau period.
