Creator's Key Takeaways

we sailed out of the port in October 2022 on the Carnival Sunshine

we highly recommend having your cruise line issued luggage tags attached to your bags before arriving at the cruise terminal

the Charleston cruise port was a bit different from other ports we've embarked from with the waiting area located almost a half a mile from the ship

it only took us about an hour and a half from the time we paid for a parking until we were on board

Creator's Tips & Advice

Attach cruise line issued luggage tags to bags before arriving at the terminal
Have boarding passes and government-issued photo IDs ready before arrival
