Earliest arrival time leaving Baltimore

[richraven]

What is the earliest you've ever arrived at the port of Baltimore and when did you get on the ship?

 

Also does anyone know what time they start letting you park?

I believe that we got to the port around 11:15 and were drinking our first drink onboard about an hour later.

I'll have first hand experience with this early next year, but every review I have read said that cars were lined up and not allowed to park until about 10:15-10:30, an dboarding did not start until closer to 11:30.

 

The above assumes that the Pride returns on time - it is often (especially in the winter months) an hour or two late. Good luck! :)

I think the last part is the truest. If everything is on schedule, everything I've read indicates boarding around 11:30, but it is a northern port, and things can happen. We plan to come prepared to wait if necessary. In understand there is no food or drink available at the port except maybe a vending machine.

I believe the earliest was around 10:30am to arrive at the port.

Taking my 7th trip on the Pride in Jan (6th out of Balto). We leave the house 10:30 and are able to go directly in and park. All of my previous trips we started boarding right around NOON.

 

I just turn on the morning news here in the Balto area and I can see if she is docked on time.:)

Is there any way to track Pride's progress as it comes back? I only live an hour away, and would be nice to know if its coming back late so I don't sit in the parking lot waiting.

Turn on WJZ-TV (we have comcast so it is channel 23 or 212). This is one of our local news stations. You can see the ship when they show the harbor area. Also WBAL-tv (21 or 211) which comes on earlier than wjz sometimes shows a shot where you can see the ship or see it coming in.

 

Be patient. Sometimes it takes a few commercials before they show that shot and sometimes in the very beginning (8am for wjz) but we watch it every week on WJZ-tv.

Watched WJZ this morning and at 8:45 a live shot showed Pride already docked. Will have to try WBAL next week. Just can't get enough of the Pride!
