Twentieth, level on 35 with the Sheraton and behind it only on the alphabet. The TownePlace Suites by BWI lets guests "leave vehicle after check out for up to 7 days in our park-n-fly package only", with free parking while you stay, full kitchens and an outdoor seasonal lap pool.
The BWI shuttle is free on request, and two pets up to 50 lb are welcome.
Marriott prints no package price and never mentions cruises. Its FAQ says there's no free breakfast — the page description says otherwise, so we don't count it.
Call for the park-n-fly price, and check that 7 days covers your sailing before you book.

$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.
