I read your post and very much appeciate it. I wasn't thinking about going to the Baths, but now will. Do you have any other reviews (as they are very through) about the other islands? I'm sailing to St Maaten and the Bahamas. thanks!

Ken I just will like to say thanks a millon times over. I have asked many questions to you about hotels and am finally getting ready to come down in a week here. If you ever need help on finding a NYC hotel I could be of service!

One more thing... We're staying a few miles from Ybor City in downtown Tampa. Do you know any places in the area that we could get a manicure at? It doesn't have to be a spa, it could be a smaller/local place. I don't think we'll have time before we leave to get one.

Thanks so much Ken. i have gotten good deals in the past from Priceline, so I guess this time it's just a bummer.

Can you tell me anything about he Homestead Studio Suites by the airport? I hope they are nice, we just got that on priceline. Although I am a bit bummed because booking through the website would've been cheaper than the 90 bucks we were charged.

Thanks so much!

Thanks Ken, do you know how far or close it is to Ybor? Someone told me a few miles, but who knows?

Hey Ken, can you tell me how the Residence Inn Tampa Downtown is? I know it's a Marriott Hotel, but would like to know how it is. Thanks

First, thanks for helping everyone out on these boards, I have read everything that everyone has posted and you've been very helpful.

I would like to stay at a nice location in Tampa after the cruise (where you can walk around to shops, bars et) but a hotel that also has a shuttle to Bush Gardens since we won't be renting a car for a day. Any ideas? For where we are staying before the cruise is near Ybor City (we're 25) so that should be fun. Any ideas? I read that staying near Bush Gardens isn't safe?
