I called Norton Lilly again and finally got through to the person I needed to talk to. His name was Walter Celario. Before I reached Walter, however, I talked to some guy named Gordon who had answered the phone. Gordon was friendly and as helpful as he could be (given that the Atlantic Sky wasn’t his thing). In the course of the conversation, when I mentioned that ACL had told me we would need an escort from the gate to the ship, he mused out loud, “I wonder who’s going to pay for that?” Hmmm...that did not give me a warm and fuzzy.
When I finally got through to Walter Celario he answered that question: Ellen and I would be the ones paying. It would be about $55, which I didn't think was a big deal. But it was still a bit of a surprise (and, as I learned later, probably a bit of a scam).
That aside, Walter said the ship was supposed to arrive at about 4:00 am on Monday, 29 July, and depart about 24 hours later. He told us we should be there to board at noon on the 29th, and he gave me the address of the gate at Baltimore's Dundark Marine Terminal.
Walter also gave me his cell phone number and an e-mail address. I gave him my cell and e-mail, and he said he’d be in touch with additional information when it was available.
