Cruising out of Baltimore

I'm sailing out of Baltimore in a few days and have forgotten what we'll see as we depart. I think there's a bridge or 2 but have forgotten when approximately we sail under it/them. Someone please refresh my memory. Thanks

You'll sail under the Key Bridge first and then the Chesapeake Bay Bridge later. Key Bridge is not too far from the port (keep your eyes out for Fort McHenry- home of Star Spangled Banner ;)), but the Bay Bridge takes a few hours to get to.

Enjoy your cruise!!

Also before the Key Bridge the first bridge you cross under if you look to the port side you will see a red white and blue bouy this is the approximate spot where Francis Scott Key wrote the Stars Spangled Banner

Also, watch how close the top of the ship comes to the bridge deck of the first bridge.

Does anyone know approximately how long it takes to get to the Key Bridge? Would love for my boys to see this while on deck. However we have the early dinning and I have a feeling we will be in the MDR as we pass under this bridge.

Less than 30 minutes

Thank you! I think we depart at 5:00 so we will be able to check this out before dinner

Remember, you also pass under it on the return trip to Baltimore.

But coming back you will pass under the Key Bridge very early in the morning.

You can tell by how few people are on deck with me. However, it wasn't before 7am.

She usually passes under the Key Bridge around 5 am to 6 am

Wow that's early! What about the Chesapeake Bay Bridge approximately what time does the Pride pass that bridge on the first day?

the time I gave you was for the grandeur

I would say around 7:30 or so for the pride as she arrives later

There's not much to see but around 10 PM - Midnight the night before returning you'll go past Norfolk and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel.

Thanks. Wow didn't realize it would be so late.

Along with the bridges there are few other things worth seeing as you transit in and out of Baltimore. Ft McHenry was already mentioned, but there's also Fort Carrol, NS Savanah, and SS John W Brown. Shameless plug: click on my Pride review down in my signature, I cover all those sights. Enjoy your cruise!

This is not the same Bay Bridge that is in Maryland- but this one in VA is really cool (and completely petrifies me when I drive it!)

Can someone recently out of Baltimore on the Grandeur please confirm what time we pass under to Chesapeake Bay bridge on the way out first night? Don't want to miss it and will skip dinner if need be :-)

Approximately 90 minutes after you leave (maybe just a little longer). You will see it upcoming
