I saw above some people wondering what you could do for excursions in Wilmington. Lots of possibilities. My husband and I have spent quite a lot there the last 3 years that my son has been stationed at Camp LeJeune. The battleship is great--not to be missed. There is really good unique shopping downtown. There are several historic homes and plantations both in Wilmington and nearby that are really interesting. The old main part of Wilmington is really beautiful. I would definitely do this cruise if the boy were still going to be at CLJ, but hopefully he will be out and safe at home.
