When to arrive Charleston Port?

[alabama ghost]

We'll be sailing on the Majesty on Saturday, 5/16 and are spending the night in Charleston. I realize they won't start letting passengers on board until 12 noon, but have heard some horror stories in the reviews about long lines.

 

When do you recommend we get to the port? Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

If driving get by noon as it could be long... you have to drop off luggage at Union pier, park car and take a shuttle to the passenger terminal.
