I really enjoyed this cruise. Be aware that this cruise doesn't offer narration about Charleston, so if you're looking for an educational experience, this isn't it. There's a four-piece blues band that plays for about 90 minutes of the 2-hour trip. There's also an all-you-can eat buffet with pulled pork, chicken quarters (leg and thigh), coleslaw, macaroni & cheese, and chocolate chip cookies. The food was catered by Swig and Swine, a local restaurant. You're not allowed to bring liquor aboard, so you'll have to buy it from the bar. The beer is pretty expensive: $6.50 for a can of specialty beer and $5.50 for a can of local stuff. There are three decks with plenty of seating. Getting around is easy, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who has a problem with stairs. The ship takes several circuits around the harbor, so you'll get a chance to see everything multiple times. The trip takes place at sunset, so if beautiful sunsets appeal to you, you're in luck.

My wife and I realy enjoyed this cruise. The food was great and the music was very good and entertaining. The blues band is Shrimp City Slim, composed of Keyboard, Guitar, Harmonica, Drums, and all did vocals or backup. Dancing was encouraged, and the music was very danceable. The food included pulled pork and BBQ chicken, mac shells and cheese, cole slaw (also very good), large cookie, and iced tea. There's also a cash bar that makes really good drinks. We really enjoyed this cruise.

While the music was playing below, we were able to enjoy the breezes on upper deck. The sunset was beautiful.
