If you book a hotel near the cruise port you can take the MARC train from Camden Yards or further away at Penn Station which runs more frequent than the Camden line . If you book near the airport you can catch MARC at the airport. The MARC train is a lot cheaper than taking Amtrak since this is a commuter train You can go online to get an idea if schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted January 17, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The trains to/from Camden Yards only run during rush hours. Because the trains from Penn Station also service the airport they are more frequent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted January 17, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Penn line schedule - https://mta.maryland.gov/sites/default/files/Penn_Nov12_Full.pdf Camden line - https://mta.maryland.gov/sites/default/files/Camden_Mar132017.pdf Airport is not that far from the cruise port, so you might want to stay in that area. But lots of things to do in Baltimore also. Ft.
