Charleston Cruise Reviews

Rude ladies in parking area. So glad Charleston is not renewing contract with Carnival. Brings in trashy people who have no manners or respect for Charlestons history. ...

Toughest port we have done. The separate buildings make it difficult for the disabled and seniors and other folks with ambulatory issues. Beautiful city and nice people. ...

Charleston is awesome! We had never been to Charleston before, so we drove down 3 days early to explore the city. The dining, history, architecture and scenery in Charleston is amazing! During our time there, we spent several hours at Isle of Palms beach, did a harbor boat tour, toured Boone Hall Plantation, explored the city market downtown, did a carriage tour of downtown, walked to Rainbow ...

Good day but POURING RAIN! Went to Magnolia plantation and highlight was Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ for lunch. ...

Beautiful city. Lots to see and do. Went to Magnolia Gardens. ...

If you can arrive the day before embarkation, I recommend it. Charleston is a beautiful, fun city with great restaurants and sights. The actual embarkation process is wonky (see main review), but the tradeoff is that the smaller port makes for less traffic and is easy to navigate. ...

Charleston is always a good stop however it does start to get too hot in June. Lots of shopping, lots to do, lots of restaurants. The dock is close to the center of town. ...

Excellent city to visit prior to your cruise but just as expensive as Miami, even the cost of parking! As described, embarkation is a horrible experience. I am so glad that I did not have a long travel time to get to this port too. You are first forced to park far away from the ship itself and then walk to a warehouse that is also very far away to check in. Then you get on a crowded shuttle to the ...

Easy drive from Charlotte area, easy parking, boarding. ...
