BLUEWATER’S SUMMER CRUISE ENJOYS A WEEKEND IN BALTIMORE’S INNER HARBOR Downtown Charm T he bustling city of Baltimore may not immediately come to mind when thinking of cruising destinations on the Chesapeake Bay, but the waterfront metropolis proved to offer much more than anyone could have expected.
