The embarkation in Charleston was VERY quick, painless, and organized. We arrived at the port using directions from Carnival website, they were turn for turn and exact, we arrived about 11.15am. Once the workers arrived at 11.30 and started taking money for parking we were parked, unloaded our bags and ushered to an awaiting bus to drive us to the port. Once we reached the port we were greeted by very friendly workers who checked credentials, set up the sign and sail cards, took a quick photo shot and set us on our merry way to the WONDERFUL Fantasy.
