I never heard anyone refer to Myrtle Beach by either of the terms you mentioned. Neither have I. We live in SC and also own a beach/ocean front rental condo in North Mrytle beach. The prices they are getting make the cruise ship look like a bargain. The management company set the price of our one-bedroom condo at $350-$450 per night (summer rates) and of course this doesn't include any food, entertainment, transportation to islands, etc. It is better for us to take a summer cruise (we have a 7 night in July planned) than to take our condo off the rental market for us to spend a week there in season. I'm thrilled ( as an owner) that folks are willing to spend that much $$ to visit the South Carolina beaches. I don't care what they wear to dinner or what they are called. However, making a derogatory blanket statement is not a good idea. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent a long weekend there in March and it's a wonderful area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bouncing off your comment because you're the only person who's mentioned NORTH Myrtle. Often when people say "Myrtle Beach", they really mean The Grand Strand, which includes North Myrtle, South Myrtle, Seaside, Cherry Grove, Holden, Garden City. Those are nice places ... people around here think badly only of Myrtle itself; that is, the downtown area with the seedy bars near Ripley's and the Gay Dolphin. Myrtle has been trying to bring up its reputation, but the areas around it have always been much nicer. 4 hours ago, Husky1987 said: My old roommate has a house on Fripp Island SC and the rates he gets for summer weeks is insane.

Goodtime Cruizin Posted June 17, 2023 #400 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) On 6/8/2023 at 8:17 AM, ETski said: We are bringing two teenage grandsons on a cruise this summer. Since the boys don't have a lot of dress clothes would they be able to wear nice shorts to the dinningroom? Good gawd. Yes. But for the formal nights step up & buy them some damn slacks. This is the opportunity for a teaching moment. They have to learn eventually and you're as good as anyone to help them along. Have you wondered what they'll be wearing on their prom night? Graduation? Help them out. Make it fun. Take the grandkids shopping. I have a feeling both parties will enjoy it. And yes, as always I'm late to this party.
