Why I like Norfolk as a cruise port

 I had never been to Norfolk on a cruise. I really liked it. It’s a very quiet and laid back city.  Almost Everything is free to see. Must dos

- no need for a tour

- get off the ship early as it’s hot in Norfolk

- walk the cannon ball trail. It is easy and flat but in the historic district be prepared for cobblestone and uneven pavement. Lots of historic homes. Go into the Hunter house . It’s free and interesting 

- go to the Chrysler art museum. Again free and 2 floors of great art

- go to the Mcarthur memorial. Free and interesting

Skip the mall… very few stores. 

I did not do the Wisconsin ship nor the harbour cruise. But both were recommended by those who did.

Watch the sail in or out to see all the navy ships

Hope this helps
