Sailing Out of Tampa --- Hotel's Shuttles?

[TropicalisRex]

Okay. We will be sailing out of Tampa in September. In keeping with everyone's suggestions, we'll be flying down one day early so that any luggage problems and late plane issues will not be an ISSUE.

 

So my question is this: We are (obviously) going to stay in a hotel the evening we land in Tampa. I know most hotels offer a shuttle to come pick you up at the airport since you are staying at their establishment. Do any of them also take you to the port in the morning?

 

Just wondering. And if not, does anyone know about taxi fares in that area? I bought two cruise books, and neither of them give rates or information about this subject. :)

 

Thanks!

I cruised out of Tampa a few years ago. We stayed in a Holiday Inn Express that was quite nice and had a shuttle that both picked us up at the airport and took us to the pier.

That's great! I favor Holiday Inns --- I used to work at one. :) Thanks so much!
