Baltimore overnight with longterm parking

[Irishwhiskey]

Baltimore is one of the closest ports to where we live that we haven't sailed out of yet.We plan on driving down from north Jersey to stay overnight and arrive at the port the next day and we need some information regarding hotels nearby to the port with long term parking for the 12 nights that we will be away on Mercury.We want to plan ahead now so we can compare what Celebrity will charge against what we can get on our own.If anyone has any info to share with us it would be greatly appreciated.Thanks John

We're sailing on 1/11/2010 out of Baltimore and I've been checking for hotels. Hampton Inn offers a park & cruise with parking for the length of the cruise and a shuttle to/from the cruise terminal. They do not have rates listed for 2010 yet, but checked it for Dec '09 and the lowest price was $119 per night. There are several other hotels at BWI that offer free parking, but some limit it to only 1 week, others 2 weeks. Taxi Fare from BWI to the cruise terminal about $30 each way. Celebrity's transfer price is $35 each way.

As of this date, Celebrity has not listed any pre/post cruise hotels.
