Celebrity Shore Excursions

These photos are mostly of some of the surrounding areas of Charleston, Folly Island, Mount Pleasant, Sullivans Island, and Isle of Palms.  We arrived a day early for a stay at the SpringHill Suites facing the Ashley River just across from Charleston.  It was a nice hotel, which allowed us to park for the 11 Days on the Galaxy.  The hotel has a Shuttle, which delivers you to the Cruise ship terminal.  We are not sure whether they still allow the "park & cruise" type stay.  Including the cost of the room, it was actually  significantly  less expensive for the hotel room than it would have been to park at the cruise terminal.  The hotel takes whatever calling card you have and makes up to 2 each (4) luggage tags out of them.  We always make up a "cruise card" for our cruises, to exchange name & address with those we meet on the cruise, so we had 4 of them made as luggage tags.
