Today I'm visiting Charleston, SC by cruise ship on the beautiful Norwegian Jewel! I have been to Charleston many times, but never by ship! On this first cruise of out of Philadelphia we are stopping in Charleston for the day, and I'm so excited! There is so much to love about this gorgeous historic city and I'll show you a bit of what makes it so special. I'll also walk through what the immigration experience is like since that's a requirement for this port, as well as what the final day and disembarkation was like for this cruise. Things have improved quite a bit from the chaos of embarkation!
