This was our first cruise from the Port of Baltimore and since we are 20 minutes from the Port it was really convenient.
Embarkation: The Port of Baltimore is a really wonderful Port to sail from. Everyone there was really friendly and helpful. We left our home at 12:30 and we were on the ship by 1:30. this was also my DH's Platinum cruise and the VIP boarding was wonderful.
The ship:
Great balcony, very quiet and close enough to the aft elevators to make getting to the Lido and dining room really easy.
