I lived 35 minutes drive. from the Baltimore cruise port for 30 years and only took 3 cruises out of the port of Baltimore. Two on Celebrity, yes, they used to cruise out of Baltimore and one on Carnival. I did 11 cruises from Cape Liberty. I took Amtrak, easy peasy. The Baltimore ships used by Royal and Carnival did not appeal to me and neither did their itinerarys. I also preferred flying to Florida for better ships and itinerarey.
