TrinaLC Posted December 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Pretty clear view of an NCL ship in the North Charleston commercial ship port. This is NOT the same as the cruise terminal - it’s a container ship port Anyone have information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfilpus Posted December 10, 2020 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2020 The Gem came out of drydock in Boston November 20, ran some sea trials in the Atlantic, and arrived in Charleston November 23. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinaLC Posted December 10, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Wow. Wonder why. Not a cruise port and no NCL relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been cruise ships tied up at container ports all year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrinaLC Posted December 11, 2020 Author #7 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Yeah but this is a really busy container port. And never had any cruise ship there. No NCL affiliation. Carnival docks the sunshine at the cruise terminal but that is in Charleston and of course not since the pandemic. This is highly unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, Susan woke me the other night about her dream, that we're on a cruise ... and Anyway, we finally closed & renovated the co-op and moved in about 3 weeks ago, settling in for a long winter ahead - on dry land. We're on the Gem almost exactly a year ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a depressing couple months. I can't wait to see what she looks like after Dry Dock. 🤞2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been cruise ships at Detyens before. I used to work on the shipyard, and remember going to work one morning (about 17 years ago) seeing a cruise ship in drydock and it was so darn big, that I almost never saw it, kind of a "forest for the trees" incident. I saw the Gem on a day when I was supposed to be aboard Harmony of the Seas in Mexico, so it just crushed my heart a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
