Is Princess planning to port a ship in Charleston, SC?

I like the look of those plans for Charleston. We will be there in March 2013 on the P&O Oriana, hope they manage to complete by then as they anticipate.

I don't want to hijack the thread, but any chance St. Louis could be a home port......for anyone? :rolleyes:

 

Those of us in the midwest hate spending as much to get to a cruise as it costs to go on a cruise. :(

 

Agreed - and with the reduced flights we have available in STL (though Southwest helps) it really makes the transportation part downright annoying.

In today's Wall Street Journal on the op-ed pages was the story about Charleston, SC vs. Carnival battle. Doesn't sound good for another cruise line let alone Carnival.

I bet the taxi driver is talking about the one stop in Charleston on the repo cruise to FLL.

 

Norfolk would love ships to home port there. They built a gorgeous terminal there and the locals love the cruisers.
