Paradise sailing from different port spot in Tampa

Any recent cruise experience the change in terminals? Is there separate waiting area for Platinum/Diamond? Is it any nicer than the old terminal?

I will let you know at the end of the month. We aren't diamond or platinum, but we booked a suite on August 22 cruise. There wasn't much of a seperate waiting area in the old terminal. The newer terminal looks nice. It's hard driving by Channelside when the Paradise is in port like today. I wish I could get on it when I see it there. It looks like she's late leaving today. Could be because of the storms I guess.

We'll let you know in a couple of weeks we're heading out on her in 11 days

When did they change terminals?

Yes, we moved over to Terminal 3 and yes we have a separate priority lounge for Diamond/Platinum/Suite guests.

what about Driving Directions?? Have they been updated to reflect the New Terminal on the Website or is there NO difference?? Sail in 13 days. :confused:

Updated driving directions are not needed. And, IMO, the new terminal is much nicer than the other one :).

The NEW terminal is within "spitting distance" from the old one, so as noted, no new driving directions are needed.

Captain Carnival, are the FTTF folks still mixed in with the Diamond, Platinum, Suite guests?

Hi SKY - No, here at Terminal 3 there is room enough for a separate Priority Captain's Lounge for Diamond, Platinum, and Suite Guests.

Oops....I didn't address the FTTF portion of your question SKY. No, the FTTF are not granted access to the priority lounge.

THANKS Captain! Very cool.

I'll see you on September 28th, and if the price drops just a bit, September 24th as well. :cool:

I was hoping you'd see this thread! Glad to hear separate sections. Thanks.
