Have you been to USA on a cruise ship? plz help me?
Hi, has anyone been on a cruiseship to the USA?
Im going on one in a weeks time and visiting Bar HArbour, NewPort Rhode Island, Norfolk Virginia, Charleston and JAcksonville.
Please can you tell me which of these are good for shopping? I want to get some clothes and visit ‘real’ american shops like Abercrombie ands visit a supermarket like Publix os Target (because i want to buy some Hershey kisses!!)
So which are the best?
And what else can you reckon to do in each port??
Thankyou!!!!!!! MUCH appreicated!!.. i’m a shopaholic!!
Remember it cant be too far away from where the ship docks, because i’ll be getting a taxi or the shuttle bus
Bar Harbour is a small town and when we were there last year on a cruise all that was there was small shops. Newport, RI is about the same, a small town. Charleston is known for its old southern US charm but you may be able to find a Target there .I do not know how far these are from the cruise port but you can ask and/or ask a taxi driver how much:
1300 Long Grove Dr
Mount Pleasant, SC 29464
(843) 388-1973
and
2070 Sam Rittenberg Blvd
Charleston, SC 29407
(843) 763-0756
Jacksonville is also a big city that will have shopping and on all of the cruises I have been on the cruise director’s staff usually gives a talk on where to go shop.
Now for the shopaholic Norfolk MAY provide a great opportunity. About an hour from Norfolk is Williamsburg, Va and in Williamsburg they have outlet malls galore and also the pottery factory which is really a place where you can but whatever you want, from a kitchen appliance to a pair of shoes. So if your ship is in port long enough for and/or offers trips to Williamsburg. THAT is the place to go.
