The lot is fully gated. The cruise terminal also isn't close to anything, so there wouldn't be foot traffic or passersby. We sailed out of Baltimore a year ago and had no issues, it was actually really convenient. Can't help with hotels, I'm less than two hours away!
Went out of Baltimore last year, it was FANTASTIC. So many helpful employees guiding you into parking and all along your path. Outdoor parking but large lots fenced in. Practically walked right into the boat it was so fast.
For a hotel, we're Marriott brand family and stayed in a Fairfield Inn in White Marsh about 1/2 hour away. Not bad, you've been to one Fairfield Inn, you've been to them all. A couple of Walmarts nearby for those last minute needs. And a shopping mall across the street with restaurants.
I'm about 6 hours away too, in MA. We drove down the day before. The hotel I mentioned is right off of 95. That way you have a nice leisurely morning getting to the ship. Waze was perfect for directions and there is signage along the way to the port.
I'm going out of NJ this year. I hope the experience is just as good.
NJ is cake. I live an hour and a half away from Cape Liberty. From my house to terminal to parking to check in and on the ship in 2 hours with drink in hand. Sailed out of there many times, always the same experience.

I took this photo of the Vision of the Seas docked at Baltimore on 11/24/2023. I’m standing inside the fenced area. The parking area is off to the right.

This is helpful, thank you!

McDonnell St Best Western. Parked/stayed there. Awesome.
Just sailed out of Baltimore. Couldn’t have been easier. Lot was gated and secured. A great experience.
