Lunch on Pool Deck

Francis Scott Key Bridge

Unpacking
Baltimore Port is a wonderful place to embark when cruising.   We pulled into the parking lot around 11:15 am and we were on the ship in 30 minutes or less.  Diamond Members of RCCL do have priority boarding which is a nice benefit!  Once on board we headed straight for the Windjammer to eat lunch and relax on the pool deck.  The weather was absolutely beautiful.   Around 1:30 pm the rooms to the cruise ship passengers were opened so we headed down to the room to start unpacking.    At 4:00 pm we set sail through the Baltimore Harbor and it was absolutely amazing to watch the ship go through the Francis Scott Key Bridge.    Amazing ... it actually looked like we were going to hit the top of the bridge.  It takes approximately nine hours for the ship to go through the Chesapeake Bay out into the Atlantic.    After dinner at 8:00 pm in the "My Fair Lady" dining room it was off to a show and early to bed.    I was looking forward to the next day!
