This was my 4th cruise, the 1st for my boyfriend & his children (16, 13 & 10)
Charleston is the closest port to us - about a 5 hour drive which was important since we were limited on time during the kids Easter/Spring break
Embarkation & disembarkation were seamless - employees were helpful, excited & worked hard to keep all of the lines moving. Parking at $20/day was a little pricey but the car was secure in a warehouse so no worries there.
We had a 2 twins pushed together to make a king, 2 pullman beds & a smaller trundle. A little crowded but we were able to work around it.
