The drive will be difficult. Maybe some may opt for Amtrak from Norfolk to Baltimore.  Much more relaxing, but will need to Uber to parking garage from Penn Station or airport train terminal once in Baltimore.    The Norfolk Amtrak station is a 6 min ride or about a 30 minute walk along the riverfront.  

Yes, this is our plan. Train times are somewhat limited, so you may need to go the night before. The hotel we booked is a 6 minute walk to the cruise terminal.

My original plan was to take Amtrak to Baltimore and therefore, not have to change trains. But after it moved to Norfolk, that was no longer the case and my plans became too complimented. I have rebooked the cruise for September and hopefuly that will be enough time for the channel to open for ships, I did know about the terrible tragedy about the bridge collaspe and it made me so sad for the families involved. Thank you all for your comments.

Hi there noslen3333:

According to John Heald's YouTube Q & A, Carnival isn't planning to offer FCC if cruisers choose not to take advantage of the accommodation (bus to Norfolk). I am newish to the cruise world, so I don't know if Heald's communications are official. We are scheduled to sail on April 21st, so if we are unable to sail from Baltimore, I presume this would still apply.
