Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sail in the rain?
Almost always. The ship is fully enclosed and climate-controlled for your comfort. It sails "rain or shine" year round.
Will I get seasick?
It's unlikely. The Patapsco River experiences very minimal wave action. What's more, the ship is large and fully stabilized; so in most cases, you will hardly know you are moving.
What should I wear?
For evening cruises, appropriate attire is casual to dressy. Men traditionally wear sport shirts, slacks and sport coats, with or without ties. Women wear dresses or nice pants. We do not recommend T-shirts, jeans, shorts or sneakers in the evening.
Is there any entertainment?
Professionally mixed dance music is standard on dinner cruises. It is a lively mix of dance music from the 1940s through today. The deejays are receptive to requests, so please feel free to ask for a favorite tune.
