Sorry, but Jestine's is closed.
There are a lot of "established" eateries around Charleston that have had to shut down, 
and that is super sad.   I live here and the new restaurants just keep popping up everywhere.
One of the best restaurants in Charleston is called Edmund's Oast (the restaurant, not the brewery).
LOTS of breweries here, many of which are within walking distance.
Fanatik has some excellent suggestions above.  The USS Yorktown is a wonderful piece of history
that needs to be experienced.  There is also a mock-up of a US Army camp during the Vietnam war.
So much to do here, it really is overwhelming.

"These instructions reflect CDC’s reasoned judgement based on the best available current science regarding the subject areas covered in the document. "

If by current science they mean science from a year ago...

Its very easy to criticize scientists when you have no idea what they di day to day  Without scientists there wouldn't be vaccines in the first place.
As for the CDC, remember there was a recent change in US government, and the previous administration stifled their ability to regulate many industries properly. We dont know how much of the higher ups in the CDC are new. or leftover from the previous administration, which appear to have drastically different priorities. 
Im not saying one administration is better or worse, just that the adjustment to a new administration is probably not yet complete.

Done!

Thank you for your support!

I have no idea what took me so long.  This site is so invaluable to me, and I check it frequently hoping for some positive news.   Matt and the admins do such a great job, and this place is always so positive.

Mid July would be wonderful.   
Wonderfuller would be walking the plank onto Allure at about 11:00 Sunday morning on Aug 1.

I'm not sure what I'll do if she cancels.
I have a standing "friends and family" discount from NCL that I'm interested in, and they 
have a good-looking December cruise, but I want to stay LtR and not go on another line,
especially since I don't know anything about their ships, policies, etc.
 
So - LET'S CRUISE IN AUGUST!

RC could certainly give vaccination incentives.  Easier to get on board. Maybe some OBC or some other financial benefit ($18 DBP?). Extra points. It sure would help if the USA didn't require a test for re-entry for vaccinated folks, too.
 
 

Made my final payment last week.

The wife and I will be sailing, God willing.
I have a feeling that she will be cleared to go, but am a little concerned that she may be over-booked
and we will be left behind.   I'm dying to get on a ship.

New vlog. This is my take on the CDC's letter to potentially start cruising this summer.
 
 

Now, if only the $18 deluxe beverage package would make a comeback!

Bring on the vaccine tourists!  
Come on Canada, get your beavers down here!

I don't have hard numbers but all my cruising friends got or are getting the vaccine SO they can sail. Myself a combo of that and I also saw the Bahama "thing" coming ... I work there frequently  and this saves me an expensive test over and over. For the record I'm not overly "Pro Vaccine" but if it gets me on a ship then so be it. I'm not alone in that view... 
 

I'll take "Things You Don't Hear Every Day" for $1000, current Jeopardy host.
