They speculate that there will be future opportunities for a more developed cruise port capable of welcoming visitors to the city. Following the failure to renew Carnival Cruise Line’s deal with the South Carolina Ports Authority, cruise ships will no longer be allowed to start journeys from the city. With that said, cruise ships will still be allowed to dock at Charleston temporarily, but only for same-day port of call stops rather than overnight stays. Their chefs have extensive credentials from some of the finest culinary institutes.
