$25 a dayCruise Maryland charges $25 a day per vehicle from April 1, 2026, per its rate notice; its passenger page puts it as “$25.00 Per Night”. RVs are $40 a night under 30 feet and $50 over. You pay by credit card when you arrive, there are no reservations, and the fenced lots are within walking distance of the terminal. Drop your bags at the luggage boxes first, then park. We count it by the day, as the rate notice does; if the lot charges by the night, as the passenger page puts it, it’s one day less.

Homewood Suites BWI FAQ
Does Homewood Suites BWI 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.
Does Homewood Suites BWI have an airport shuttle?
Yes, from BWI. A complimentary BWI shuttle, 24/7; call the hotel. Hilton puts the airport 2 miles away.
Can I park at Homewood Suites BWI 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. Check with your hotel for cruise port availability before booking." No price is shown and no port is named. Self-parking is $8.72 a day while you stay, with in and out.
How far is Homewood Suites BWI from the cruise terminal?
Hilton gives no distance to the cruise terminal and doesn't mention cruises. Its location page puts the Baltimore Inner Harbor 7 miles away and BWI 2 miles. In our ranking it's in the “BWI Airport and Glen Burnie” 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 12:00 PM. 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 buffet. 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: not on site. Clearance and oversized parking aren't published. Cruise Maryland takes RVs at $40 a night under 30 feet and $50 over, and has accessible parking on site; it states no height limit.
