Home2 Suites Arundel Mills FAQ
Does Home2 Suites Arundel Mills have a cruise shuttle?
Not that it publishes. Hilton's Park, Stay & Go mentions shuttle service to "select airports and cruise ports" without naming the Baltimore terminal, so we don't count it as a ride to the ship. There's no other cruise shuttle.

Yes, from BWI. A complimentary BWI shuttle by request, 4–11 AM and 4–11 PM; Hilton puts the airport 6 miles away.
Can I park at Home2 Suites Arundel Mills while I cruise?
Yes, by arrangement. This hotel's own offers page lists Hilton's Park, Stay & Go: "parking plus shuttle service to and from select airports and cruise ports". Hilton's offer page sets one night booked and parking for up to 7 nights, one vehicle a room, and adds: "Some hotels may also offer service to nearby cruise ports.

How far is Home2 Suites Arundel Mills from the cruise terminal?
Hilton gives no distance to the cruise terminal and doesn't mention cruises. It's in Hanover, 0.50 miles from Arundel Mills Mall and Live! Casino, and puts BWI 6 miles away. In our ranking it's in the “Arundel Mills and Elkridge” band. Baltimore has one cruise terminal: the Cruise Maryland Terminal at 2001 East McComas Street in South Locust Point, off I-95 at Exit 55, run by the Maryland Port Administration. Carnival and Royal Caribbean both sail from it. The terminal opens at 8:00 a.m., or two hours after the ship arrives, and Cruise Maryland asks you to arrive at least 90 minutes to 2 hours before departure, not before the time on your ticket.
Can I check in early or check out late on cruise days?
Check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out 11:00 AM. The hotel doesn't publish early or late terms, so ask when you book, not on the day.
Will the hotel hold my bags?
The hotel doesn't say. Most hotels will hold bags between check-out and a late shuttle, but that's a call to make, not an assumption.
Does the port shuttle come back for me after the cruise?
There's no hotel shuttle to the port. Cruise Maryland puts BWI 10.5 miles from the terminal. The PSC’s flat taxi fare from the terminal to BWI is $30 a cab, four people at most.
What's the breakfast timing on sail morning?
Free hot breakfast. Your terminal check-in window is in your cruise documents, and the port asks you not to arrive before it.
Can I park an oversized vehicle or charge an EV?
EV charging, $0.64 per kWh.
