There is wireless internet in the cabins. We were on Verandah deck and had no problems with it throughout our Christmas cruise.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions (here and the other thread I started before I found this one). I don't think we will be staying at the Days Inn, but I don't know what my father has decided to do.

After some more digging, I have found a page that tells me several hotels with cruise packages that include parking. I work through some of those.

tourlink99- I can't find information for parking fees at the Amtrak station. Do you know a ballpark figure per day?

Thanks again.

I had posted this in the larger forum, but realized that I may have a better chance asking here.

We are going on the Christmas cruise out of Tampa. We are looking for a hotel where they will let us park our cars for the week of the cruise (we are all driving from different states).

My father is trying to get us to go the Days Inn, Ybor City on Melbourne Boulevard. I do not have a good feeling about the area based on some reviews that I have read online.

Can anyone confirm the appropriateness (or not) of this location?

Can you PLEASE give me other ideas for hotels to stay that will be clean and safe? It would help if I have other alternatives to present to him. If it comes down to it, my family and I will stay somewhere else, but I am not familiar with the area.

So far, I thought that maybe Howard Johnson Plaza Tampa-Downtown would work with their Ship and Shore package at $105. Any opinions?

Thanks!
