Thanks useful tips. I don't think we'll have time to do Busch Gardens - if we had more time I would do it before or after the cruise but we have taken the kids out of school for 2 days already

Thanks that is useful - I definitely want a paper Compass.

That's the plan but looking for the barn door stuff!

Hey Cruise Critics, First cruise(s) for 7 years, first in Caribbean for 16 and first ever from Tampa. May I canvass for some opinions advice please on a couple of topics? Firstly, we are doing back to back cruises on Serenade of the Seas 20/10 and 25/10/24; We are arriving on 18/10 and staying at Clearwater Beach. What advice would you give please for a family of 4 (kids 12 and 15) in getting from the airport to Clearwater. Any advice in what to do in Clearwater would be appreciated (TBH we are just looking to relax and get some sun away from the British winter! Reasonably priced restaurants and bars? I'll check out the port guides for each stop and ask there if any specific questions, but looking in what to do in the connection day in Tampa? Looks like you can get the trolley at the port? Thinking we'll just try and explore the city a bit - Ybor looks interesting. TIA

Hey Cruise Critics, It's been a while since we've been able to get aboard on a cruise ship (indy in 2017) so would be interested to hear how the line has changed since then. No doubt the prices are even more extortionate and the sell up is more relentless but would value any hints and tips. We are seasoned cruisers especially with RCCL; going on Serenade for B2B cruises in October ex. Tampa. Not been to the Caribbean since 2006 - so especially interested in how 2 of our fave stops (St Thomas and St Maarten) have changed and where to go! TIA
