JohninDC Posted November 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Driving and need parking? Travelling with family or on your honeymoon? Dates? Budget? :confused: Lots of variables -- give us some more info and the suggestions are likely to be closer to your target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvmypups Posted November 15, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Flying in, no parking needed. Looking at first weekend in March 2018. Just husband and myself. Budget not an issue. Have never cruised out of Tampa. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO-Girl Posted November 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2017 We love the Marriott Waterside!! Beautiful hotel right on the water! Such a relaxing area for pre or post cruise! And you are only about a mile from the port... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted November 15, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I would also second the Marriott Waterside. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted November 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 15, 2017 There's also a nearby Embassy Suites. If you are interested in nightlife I would explore the Ybor City part of Tampa - there's a Hampton Inn there as well as others. Arriving late and just want dinner and a room - look for hotels near the TPA airport; there's lots of nearby dining options and a big mall in the area. Finally, many prefer the bays ide area known as Rocky Point -- several hotels there plus dining; some of the hotels provide both port and airport shuttles. Avoid the area near the Tampa football stadium unless you are into strip clubs! :eek: Have a great cruise! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve20832 Posted November 15, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I live in the Tampa area and can tell you there are hundreds of hotels to choose from. TPA to the pier is about 8 miles. If you searching hotel websites, choose either the airport area, downtown Tampa, or Ybor City. They are all on your way to the cruise pier. Uber is much better than taxi if you need a ride somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvmypups Posted December 15, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Marriott Waterslide and Westin Waterslide are both full. Still looking...would like someplace we could walk to for lunch and dinner but won’t have a whole lot of time in Tampa. And preferably fairly close to the port. We will probably Uber to port.

hannibal54 Posted December 16, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I stay at the Rocky Point Holiday Inn. They have a free shuttle from the airport & for $20.00 per person, they will take you to the port. There is a great place to eat right next to the hotel. When we got off of the ship, there was a shared van outside to shuttle people to the airport for I believe $8.00 per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvmypups Posted December 23, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Well I ended up booking the Renaissance, not as close to the port as I had hoped but appears to be by a mall and various restaurants. I found many if the suggested hotels were already booked up. Thanks everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
