Pool was small, Balcony was nice until I walked 6 doors down. There was a Bathroom odor all the time. Wait staff was terrific. The spa ladies need an update on “seaweed wrap” message

Review summary

In order to board, one has to walk thru old parking lot and wait in hot sun. We had a check in time of 11:30 am. Texas was soooo much nicer & easier. And Florida was quicker.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Had to wait in an old parking lot. Watched the cruise welcome team hold up their numbers, to call the next person on line. But another representative would let anyone check in for 15 it was a stand still. Just unnecessary.! Even the check in people looked as if they were wondering why she stopped the lines

I think Charleston is wonderful. I love going out of this port. One hour from my home. And it's not hot in Charleston as long as you have a parasol and a hand fan.

The problem is the city of Charlestion. They have been fighting a new terminal for years and keep putting in regulations hoping to drive the cruise ships elsewhere

It was hot in Charleston in the summer?! Man that’s crazy, I hope you didn’t suffer permanent damage from that unexpected development.
