Very clean and great staff inside. Family friendly and handicap accessible. Very easy to get to, right off the highway. Plenty of parking (not free). Check in was fast and security gates were a breeze. Safety and security was still all there and very tight.
Coming back was a little slow, rightfully so. Customs had to go through over 2500 people. The system they have in place kept a steady flow and made it easy. The check in bags were already cleared and waiting for us at the door to go to our cars. They also have airport service/transportation for those who came on a plane and need to go back.
My overall experience was very positive. Family friendly awesome staff, clean place and restrooms, easy in and out. If you're going on a cruise, I recommend this place as your take off and come back place.

Easy to access. If you like to drive to your cruise ship, convenient for certain cruises. Reasonable parking, $15.00 per day during my last cruise.

This is a small terminal but suitable for the limited number of cruise ships that dock there. The process to arrive, drop off baggage and check in was reasonably efficient.
The parking is visible from the ship.
The only complaint would be a lack of signage so that one might understand the process.
If you are cruising on Carnival do yourself a favor and get their "Faster to the Fun" pass. It really expedites the boarding process.

Wish there was an easier way to board a ship. Too long an entry. When we returned the young man who assisted my husband who was in a wheelchair left me at customs with the passports. I did not know where to go I exited because no one would help me they kept saying keep moving. Instead of go this way to pick up your luggage meanwhile the young man took my husband to the luggage. My husband couldn't get the luggage. I was now outside and they wouldn't let me back in. The young man said well I can't get your luggage. After I exploded on him for rushing away and leaving me. He took my husband back and got someone to help get the luggage. Not a very pleasant return. One young lady was helpful. She listened to me. Let me come back in to assist as needed. Everyone else acted like they didn't care and no one directed me towards the luggage pickup and if there were signs, I was so busy trying to find the man with my husband in a wheelchair that I missed them and no one would help me with that either except this one Caucasian lady. And I was very thankful to her.

Fairly easy to park (not the cheapest, but right there and fenced in). Buildings are very airconditioned which is great since it it so humid in that area of Maryland. People are very friendly and helpful at this terminal. All is connected internally so once you are in the building, you never go back outside into the heat/weather.

I've been cruising out of Baltimore for several years and I've been happy with the steady improvements at this property; however, it is still a warehouse with a long counter and rope lines. It is clean and they perk it up with beautiful pictures. The employees are happy and work hard to make us feel like we are already on vacation. Even so, I feel like cargo should be shipping out here, not people.
The service is quick. Parking is plentiful. For about the price of parking, you can stay at nearby hotels and get a ride to the port. Do this if it is winter and you are concerned about snow. Your hotel will help you shovel out your car. At the port you'll probably be on your own.
I would like to see the inside of the building remodeled for better ambiance and parking lot restrooms with hand washing instead of port a potties.

Staff is friendly, courteous and helpful. This is an easy terminal to get in and out. Guest processing is efficient and quick. Official parking is reasonably priced and close by and we believe is preferrable to the long term parking + shuttle service packages offered by area hotels.

This was easy to get to and they directed you right to parking. Big parking area and seemed secure and safe. Inside, the people directed you really well and they were very nice and everything went very smoothly. Nice area to sit to wait until we could board the ship. So I definitely think they did a wonderful job.

The staff was friendly and it was fairly easy to park and unload luggage. We left our car there for a week with no problems. The terminal appeared to be pretty secure and we'll organized. It is right off of the interstate and fairly easy to find.
