NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) – A new cruise line could be coming to North Charleston.
North Charleston’s mayor and council members are in preliminary discussions about its potential.
It’s a mixed reaction to a possible cruise line coming to the old Navy port in North Charleston. For many the answer had pros and cons.
“I think for the economy, of course, and small businesses here that would be wonderful however, I think it is going to take a really special and quiet place and bring a lot more people, with more people usually comes more pollution and overcrowding and conflict,” Isabel Brown from Hanahan said.
“I do think we’re a little overcrowded. I don’t know what it’s going to look like having a cruise board here and it’s going to be a lot of traffic to bring a lot of people, but I think it could also be good for our city. I mean that’s going to bring a lot of money and I love a good cruise, I can’t help it,” Kimbrell Moorhouse from Charleston said.
Herbert Anderson from North Charleston agrees. He’s looking for convenience after no longer having the Carnival ship downtown as an option for his vacations.
“We’re looking for another cruise to go to now and we have to go to Miami or California and we don’t want that long trip. I don’t like to fly,” Anderson says.
District 5 North Charleston City Council Member Jerome Heyward said it would have a large impact on the economy.
The economic impact is outrageous. It’ll give the economy what we need,
