I looked at the schedual and I see no stops schedualed for Chestertown. Do we have to go to Baltimore in order to go on the complete cruise?
Leonard,
I believe you do have to begin the cruise in Baltimore. Best to call the cruise line for more info.

This could be BIG!
The idea that a modern ship could run the schedule of the old steam boats; Wilson Line and others. Up the Potomac to Washington……..down to Norfolk………….out on the ocean and back in at the DE River through the C & D canal.
Bet Atlantic City Casinos would send a bus to Cape May..or build a pier. Ocean City, MD would find a way to get in on it……..Indian River is too shallow but thy have small barges.
Mark Twain on the Chesapeake…………….”Floatin’ ‘Opera dead ahead sir. what are your orders? ……..Follow her to their next port and charge the passengers to get off for the show!”……………Call Tolchester and tell them we will be late!
Hope this doesn’t end when the first boat arrives and discovers Andy’s is closed.
