Leaving from Baltimore definitely has its advantages. I packed my truck this morning and completely filled the back cargo area. Matt came over about 9:30 AM to drive up to Baltimore with us so he could drive my truck back home. The port is a breeze to find. It’s Exit 55 off of Interstate 95. That’s a couple of exits past the main Baltimore exits that lead to the Oriole Park, M&T Bank Stadium and Inner Harbor. Making it easy also is the fact that the ship is in plain site once you get past the downtown exit. After taking the off ramp you drive about a half of mile and turn right into the Port of Baltimore.
They check your identification near the front gate and they also had the luggage tag area near the point they are checking identification. After getting our luggage tags you drive up to the cruise terminal drop off your luggage in these giant wooden bins and head inside. Matt left us and we were officially on vacation.
Inside The Port of Baltimore Cruise Terminal
The terminal is very clean and organized. The only problem we encountered was a grumpy security guard at the X-Ray machine. Mom and dad can’t go thru the X-Ray machines since mom has the prosthetic leg and dad has the pacemaker and stints in his heart. I ended up checking our carry on luggage through the X-Ray machine and didn’t realize they had the same rules as the airport regarding laptops. I took my laptop out and the sent it through again and the guard had a little girl like hissy fit when I starting taking out the second laptop. I just heard him muttering to himself “he’s got two laptopsâ€
