We stayed in Baltimore, at the Inner Harbor at the Regency Hyatt. It was a great hotel. The restaurant was especially good.
The Inner Harbor area is beautiful and we enjoyed a quick walking tour before boarding our ship, the Carnival Pride.
We thought that Faster to the Fun was good value for money. My spouse is not a patient person, and escaping long line-ups made him very happy. We also managed to get lunch and champagne because we were on the ship by 1 PM.
