The delicious buffet includes pulled pork, smoked chicken, mac & cheese, cole slaw, buns and sauces on side, tea and water. Fully stocked cash bar on board! This cruise is perfect for date night, groups of friends, group outings, or any occasion.  We are now in our 12th season and look forward to another great year!

This fantastic cruise begins boarding at 6:30 pm and cruises from 7-9 on beautiful Charleston Harbor.  The Carolina Queen is docked at Charleston City Marina, 17 Lockwood Drive, Charleston, SC.  The meal is buffet style and available throughout the cruise.  There is no set time for dining or reserved seating.  The Carolina Queen is 3 decks with open seating on all 3 and the buffet is set up on the lower deck in the Main Salon.  There are dining tables readily available.  The band is set up on the mid deck with plenty of room for dancing.

Initially there was some confusion about the type of ticket we purchased thru La Vacanza Travel. We had to wait for a supervisor to give the OK for us to board the ship. It seems our ticket did not SPECIFICALLY say WHAT TYPE of admission we had. VIP or general. We were allowed to board with the VIP and were given 1 free drink ticket. Friday, April 26, 2024 was a little chilly and quite windy. To stay a little warmer, we chose to sit downstairs. Doing so made it much harder to hear the band on the upstairs main deck. I was surprised they did not pipe the sound thru the sound system . On occasion the chatter and laughter of other guests made it hard to hear the music on the main deck. The barbeque was OK, however, I thought the coleslaw was excellent, but their mac & cheese was dreadful. The sunset was beautiful but there was no narration about Charleston's magnificent bridge as we sailed under it. Suggest taking the regular cruise tour and to skip this one. I do not recommend.

The food was terrible, mac & cheese over cooked was mush. My 2 granddaughters wouldnt eat it. The chicken was dead & the bq had no taste. Would not recommend. The music was good. I gave it a 2 for the music.

Beautiful views. Nice seating area. Food was meh. We had a nice time but would likely have had a similar experience eating at a restaurant on the water, and the food would have been better.
