Top Destination
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
We stayed here over night to go to port for our cruise. It's not far at all from port of Charleston.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
If booking a harbor tour during summer heat, don't come too early. It only takes a few minutes to purchase tickets so you don't want to be standing on the white hot concrete of the wharf while waiting to board. There is no inside shelter from heat/weather while you wait to board.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
City of Charleston needs to let Carnival improve the cruise port and parking.
5/5 - Excellent
