Can I tour Washington, D.C. before a cruise from Baltimore?
Yes, if you arrive a day early. Washington is roughly an hour from the Baltimore terminal, and guided monument tours make a full day manageable without driving and parking in the city yourself.
Is Charleston walkable from the cruise terminal?
Yes. The terminal sits at the edge of the historic district, so the market, the Battery and the old church steeples are within walking distance.
