Port of Baltimore cruise schedule affected by Hurricane Sandy

BALTIMORE - Cruises in and out of the Port of Baltimore have been rescheduled as Hurricane Sandy's track closes in on the states of Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey.

The Carnival Pride will arrive back at the Port of Baltimore Saturday night at around 8 p.m. instead of its normal arrival time on Sunday.

The Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas was scheduled to leave Baltimore at around 5 p.m. Friday for a five-night cruise to Bermuda. Instead, it left at 10 p.m. and will become a "cruise to nowhere" making no stops. The Enchantment of the Seas is expected to ride out the storm in the lower Chesapeake Bay near Cape Henry Virginia.

Passengers were given the option before the ship left Baltimore to stay onboard or debark.
