Does anyone know the best (and/or cheapest) transportation from the cruise ship terminal in Baltimore to Washington National airport? Any help would be appreciated.

I am making an assumption here that you will be on a cruise and docking in the port of Baltimore, then heading to Ronald Reagan Airport in DC. If that is the case I strongly urge you to check with your cruise line to see what transportation options they may offer. It may be that they have a pre-arranged shuttle for this purpose and for a fee they will transport you. Anytime I have used transfers with cruises they have been quite affordable, and easy.

Besides using a taxi and/or public transportation with multiple transfers, I don't see any easy solution for you.

Could you change your flight to arrive in BWI? That is the easiest solution...

But if you have to fly into National, and If you can 't find any specialized cruise transportation, can't afford the ground transportation, and don't have any strict time restraints, your best cost-effective bet is to put aside roughly 2 hours and make the trip from National to the cruise terminal using public transportation.

Oh and I hope you don't have a lot of luggage ; )

To do this....Take DC metro subway yellow line (there is a station at National) to Gallery Place/Chinatown station, transfer to green line headed toward Greenbelt. At Greenbelt station....take B30 bus to BWI....from BWI you can take a taxi downtown (roughly $30-40) or take Baltimore light rail to downtown Baltimore...and then a taxi to cruise terminal.

You could also do what neslaw1 said and take an Amtrak train from Union Station (you'd need to transfer to red line at Gallery Place/Chinatown station headed toward Glenmont), but it would be more expensive and take the same amount of time. It would probably make it easier with a lot of luggage though.

Good luck!
