We didn't park because we had our daughter drive to the airport, but
there is a secured parking lot at the Port of Baltimore Seagirt Marine
Terminal. The good thing is that it's going to be about the only
cruise ship there.

Of course you could rent a car and turn it in at the airport and get a
taxi from there, but you probably wouldn't save much. Parking at the
airport is a bit cheaper (from $6 to $8/day depending if you use the
official lots or the cut-rate lots), but you'd still have a cab ride
to the dock.
.The easiest way to drive is to come down the NJ Turnpike to I-295
and then go down via I-95. This is a toll road (I-95 I mean, but the
Turnpike and I-295 is too). The trip shouldn't take more than about 2
hours to get to Baltimore plus another half hour to find the ship.
After you get to Baltimore, you get off the interstate before you go
through any tunnels or over the FSKey Bridge. MapQuest directions
are:
1: From I-95 take the O'DONNELL ST EAST exit- EXIT 57- toward BOSTON
ST. 0.7 miles
2: Stay STRAIGHT to go onto INTERSTATE AVE. <0.1 miles
3: Turn LEFT onto ODONNELL STREET CUTOFF. 0.2 miles
4: ODONNELL STREET CUTOFF becomes BOSTON ST. <0.1 miles
5: Turn RIGHT onto BROENING HWY. Terminal will be on the right.
Personally I would do it another way, but I know the area pretty well
because my husband used to work on Broening Highway and I still can
get lost over there.
Be sure you know which terminal the boat is leaving from, because
there are several.
