We got to the port about 3:20 and moved through security and check-in pretty quickly and got on board by about 3:50. Not bad. Still, I have to say, compared to Port Canaveral (which is where we usually sail out of), it seems a little less organized. But that's probably due to the fact that Charleston has way fewer ships sailing out of here.
Oh, and Tony's beads were a bit hit with the check-in group. Every one of them commented.
I know you're all curious about what we did first (after finding our cabin, of course). We hit the food, what else? Delicious buffet, awesome dessert. Two thumbs up to everything so far. (I could not be a food critic. Obviously.)
We ate at a window seat in the Mediterranean Cafe with a view of Charleston. I live here and I'm a little jaded on the town, but this is an awesome view. We noticed that the shuttle buses and the cars were backed up way down the road. Glad we got here when we did!
We checked out the layout of the ship -- as much as one possibly can within an hour on a ship this size. Then we got connected to the wi-fi. As you can see:
This is the view from our cabin (can you see why he was such a hit with those beads?):

Awesome view!! Is that the new new Cooper River Bridge?
I was lounging at Folly Beach when she headed into the Charleston Harbor. It was a great sight to see a huge cruise ship making her way on the horizon. As I drove past MUSC to get to I-26 heading home to Goose Creek in the afternoon, I noticed she towered over any of the other structures in the downtown area. Great to see!
