🧭 How to play this day
CROWD-TACTICALBaltimore concentrates its pain at the curb: luggage drop-off, passenger unloading, and parking all funnel through one entrance, and the line backs up. Arrive early to secure the main lot — there are no cheap off-site shuttle lots here, only the port's own overflow. Settle in rather than fighting the queue; the terminal's smaller footprint means there's no shortcut around it.

1 ship is scheduled today, representing approximately 2,134 passengers of combined capacity.
