If you have a choice on where to fly, Haneda is a better choice (for getting to Yokohama)..  From Narita, you have multiple choices and if you cross post this question on the Ports of Call/Asia blog, Brucemuzz (who lives in Japan) will likely give you whatever detail you desire.  If you are looking for the easiest way to get to Yokohama, use a transfer provided by your cruise line (which is often part of a pre-cruise hotel package).  It can be done by train with the Narita Express offering a relatively fast way to get to Yokohama and it is a comfortable train.  Here is some easily readable info on that special train:

If you are relatively mobile then the train is a terrific option.  If you have trouble handling your luggage, Japan has excellent luggage shipping services (done by truck) and you could actually drop your luggage at Narita (inside the airport) and arrange to have it shipped directly to your hotel (assuming you are going to a hotel).  That luggage service does take some time to arrange and there is a fee (very reasonable).  Alternatively, you can take your luggage on the train.  Once at Yokohama Station you would likely want to use a taxi to get to your hotel or the ship.  We do not ever recommend flying-in the day of a cruise, but there are some folks who do it.

 

Another option (the most expensive) is to simply grab a taxi (or pre arrange private transportation) at Narita to Yokohama.  I am not sure of the current fare, but it is over $200.

Airport Bus.  Runs every half an hour until 8 PM then switches to every hour.  I can't find the thread I did on Japan that included comprehensive transportation options.

 

If you can find it, it will. provide you with lots of information.
