Embarkation/Deparkation from Charleston, SC questions

[tjervis]

We will be sailing on the NCL Majesty from Charlestion, SC. We will be driving in from NC and will need to park. Is there a specific area where we park. How do we get from the parking lot to the ship? We received our cruise docs but there was not mention of this. Also, the cruise docs say Embarkation does not being unitl 1pm but everyone must be on board by 3pm. This seems like a very short window. Last time we sailed with NCL from Honolulu and we were in the Embarkation line for over three hours. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

We've never cruised out of Charleston or on NCL, but I got this website from another board posting. Hope it helps.

I wouldn't worry about the embarkation timeline. If you are in line at the pier to board the ship, they won't leave until all passengers in the terminal are on board.
