We never really venture much into other parts of Baltimore. BoBrooks in on the waterfront just past fells point, beautiful Marina with a yacht dealership there. Captain James has a boat shaped restaurant fells point area then across the street they have outdoor patio dining on the water during summertime. Mamas is in Canton. 5 min drive from pier 5 hotel lots of good bars and restaurants in that area too. McCormick and schmitts that is attached to pier 5 hotel has an excellent happy with lots of food specials. How about Rusty Scupper across the harbor? Their good for lunch. Dinner is a bit overpriced with very small portions last time I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have stayed several times at pier 5 hotel right near the lighthouse and have walked over the fells points, we have wandered around various areas at night time and were just fine. Just like any major city there are some trouble areas that you should avoid. You did not walk all over the city. There are many very bad areas. Those can be avoided though. You avoided the bad areas.

There are so many great restaurants in the general area. Have you ever tried BoBrooks, excellent seafood. Captain James, the one that looks like a boat is another good one. Mamas on the half shell in Canton has excellent brunch, great oyster selection and is famous for their mussels too. We have lots of favorites in Baltimore. Phiilps is for tourists.

Today is May 22. July 1 is just 40 days away. Less than 6 weeks. I don't think that, regardless of intentions, RC can get everyone on the Enchantment vaccinated, get the ship fully crewed up, and be totally ready to sail in that amount of time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know for sure they haven't vaccinated anyone from the ship. They need 3-4 weeks before, so they have that. Could be readying the ship already too, right now. No idea as we aren't hearing anything about Baltimore, just FL or Alaska. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am positive lots going on behind the scenes to ready the ships, crew, ports, etc. once they open. I remain hopeful, but realistic that our July cruise may not happen.

Gov Hogan has announced that the cruise port will open on Saturday. More details to follow, I am sure. Katherine Excellent step in the right direction.
