Fantasy/Charleston SC

[jrm116]

When I searched for Charleston SC when "booking" a cruise, it goes only to April 2014. But Port Car. goes to April 2015. Is Carnival leaving Charleston? I'm not too far from Charleston so I'm kinda interested.

Carnival still hasn't released a lot of itineraries past April 2014.

Per above ... itineraries not yet posted by Carnival that far out.

 

No reason to think Carnival won't have a ship going out of Charleston ... as much as many from Charleston would like to have NO cruise ships.

Which I don't understand and is unheard of. Any port city that doesn't have a cruise ship would LOVE to have one!

That nasty lawsuit has got to be taking it's toll on Carnival's future thinking, with regards to Charleston.

From what I know, the law suits are mostly from a bunch of liberals, and not many of them have lived in Charleston very long. There's lots of life long Chas. residents who want it. The mayor even supports it.

 

As a South Carolina citizen, why would you NOT want a ship? It bring MONEY. And that's very helpful in this economy.

 

Oh yeah, and Charleston has always been a port city.

Only a FEW people do not want a cruise ship in the port of Charleston, MANY people want a cruise ship in the port of Charleston. Charleston was founded as a port city, always has been a port city and always will be. Carnival will stay because they are welcomed by a large majority of Charlestonians...

I don't understand the lawsuit. Would they rather look,at a crappy looking industrial pier? The artist renderings of the cruise terminal is much better on the eyes then what is currently there. As for the fantasy 2014 schedule delay I believe it may have to do with the Fantasy future as being retired. I think carnival will replace her soon. :( a while back here on cruise critic there was a rumor that the Glory would replace her. So I guess time will only tell.
