There are many residents in the downtown Charleston area that want to put end to the cruise ships coming into the harbor stating they are ruining the environment and ambiance in the area.
I don't understand, just yards away, each and every day container ships come past the downtown area and into port but nothing has been said about them.
The historic area in Charleston is very important to everyone that lives here but trying to stop Carnival rather than working to make it a good relationship between the two isn't benefiting the city or its residents.
When we were on the ship they advised that they would have a silent departure with no announcements when we came into port so that the residents of the area wouldn't' be disturbed.
It was a fast and efficient debarkation and from what I observed there wasn't a huge traffic problem.
Its true that when cruisers are arriving there are a lot of cars parked adjacent to the ship but this is a vacant area that isn't interfering with the Market area or residents parking.
We had a great time and its wonderful to be able to embark less than thirty minutes from our home and have the kids drop us off at the ship and pick us up the following week.
