Port of Tampa

Can anyone tell me what pier RCCL uses,and how close parking is? How far is it from pier 2 (Carnival).

This may not help you, but, the address is..Cruise Terminal, 815 Channelside Dr. How many piers are there?

Not exactly sure I can answer your question, but we cruised out of Tmapa a couple of years ago and it was a breeze. Very nice port. Easy taxi ride from airport - not too expensive - your cruise docs will have exact directions - but the taxi drivers know exactly where to go. Also on disembarkation a nice van was waiting to take us back to the airport for real cheap. Very friendly people there. It was a nice experience for us.

there are 5 (i could be wrong) piers in Tampa, RCCL (at least last year with the Nordic Empress) used pier 4. (Carnival at 2, Holland America at 5, with 1 and 3 empty). The port is "L" shaped and covered parking is across the street with open parking right next to the ships at 3,4, and 5. The covered parking is nicer and only a short walk from any ship. I love the Tampa port, the aquarium is right there as is Channelside with shops, restaurants, movie theater and nightclubs!

SRQ Thanks that was what I was looking for

This pier is VERY nice! Parking is located in a parking garage across the street. I have no complaints with the boarding/disembarking process at this pier.
