centralfloridacowgirl Posted October 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I just got an email from Park Connect who I booked our parking with a couple of weeks ago they said that we are now leaving from Terminal 6 instead of Terminal 3 and they gave me a new address for the parking garage. I just called RCL to confirm what terminal we were leaving from and they told me 3. I don't know who is giving me the correct information can someone please tell me what the correct terminal is because I would like to know before I leave. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshirt Posted October 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Sorry, I don’t know the definitive answer but the port schedule agrees with the parking folks. It shows terminal 6: https://www.porttb.com/cruise-schedules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted October 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2018 The local people know much better than someone that mans a phone bank. Even when Brilliance was the only ship in port a few days ago it sailed from Terminal 6. We were hoping to walk from Embassy but Terminal 6 is a long way from there and there will be five ships in when we sail - traffic will be an issue. You just have three.

AshleyDillo Posted October 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2018 My brother left from one terminal and returned to a different one when he sailed from Tampa. They should run a shuttle that will get you to the correct terminal and bring you back to the correct parking area if they aren't the same ones.

bogs1009 Posted October 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Was on Brilliance last week and we left and returned from Terminal 6. Let me know if you have any questions? The boarding process was super easy, got the port at 1240 and was on the ship in 15 min or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted October 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 19, 2018 The three terminals are within blocks of each other, with the ships sitting end to end. Won't be hard to figure out where Brilliance is...even if they change terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've ever seen that many on one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wants2cruise2 Posted October 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I leave when you return, and my paperwork says terminal 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikew0805 Posted October 20, 2018 #9 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I leave today on Brilliance as well. It is at terminal 6, which is right next to terminal 3. There is NOT 5 cruise ships in Tampa. There is only two.. the Brilliance & the Majesty today. They have been sailing in tandem the last couple weeks. My commute takes me by the ships when they are in port.

FYI - There will not be 5 ships in Tampa at the same time. Tampa homeports 5 ships, but they do not sail at the same time. The can never be more than three, but I have not seen that in a while. Two at the same time is a common site in the Winter. Edited October 20, 2018 by Mikew0805 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of wrong double posts on this website, same ships are often listed for two days in a row. Tampa has only 3 terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I do not know how else to explain that there are only three terminals. On Nov 3rd there will only be Brilliance and Majesty. I got on the Brilliance today and will get off the Majesty on Nov 3rd. It’s not bad at all... No Zoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted October 21, 2018 #14 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I can't recall Tampa's layout, but I do know that at other ports, each ships's terminal assignment is clearly indicated at the entrance to the port, and attendants will direct each arriving car appropriately. That says to me that you will also be directed to the appropriate parking garage when you get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one parking garage that I know of, which is across from terminal #3, and at the end of terminal #1. It is further to #6, but still very doable. We simply park in the open parking lot right next to the ship at #6. Drop bags (and me), then DH does an easy parking and a quick walk up the steps to check in. Very simple. And I did this with a broken foot and crutches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lazydayz Posted October 21, 2018 #16 Share Posted October 21, 2018 The Port of Tampa is very easy, and very compact. Just look for a ship and drive up. If you guessed wrong, you lose five minutes. This is nothing to stress about. And we only wish we could have five ships in port. Three is the max and that happens very rarely.

We have seen the three ships at once on several times, and of course "the newly remodeled" T#6 is a recent addition. Still think it is too small even for the smaller ships. Can get quite crowded unless you get there early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
