Thank you so much for this very helpful information.

I'm having trouble finding information on hotels for a 2-night stay in Tampa before our Royal Caribbean cruise in November. We will fly in, stay 2 nights, then board our cruise ship, I will have dialysis on the day we are in Tampa, so I'll have to locate a dialysis clinic once the hotel is decided upon. We'll Uber or Lyft for those days, then rent a car after the cruise to drive across the state to the Space Coast. I have, of course, looked up hotels in Tampa but I'm not familiar with the areas of the airport and the cruise port and looking at maps can only help so much. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. ---Jennifer

Sid, I have been reading your posts for a long time. Your writing style is so easy to follow. You make me feel as if I have known you for years. I have never commented on your posts before, but I just wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed "cruising along" with you. I will look for updates on your "journey" on the Tribe thread. Wishing you many wonderful cruises to come, even if we're not there to follow along with you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, <Jennifer

My first cruise, Fascination 1995, meeting my waiter Jose from Costa Rica and marrying him in 1997. We're still going strong 26 years later!

Virgin Voyages does a 4 night that stops in Key West, but not a 3 night.

I did this once in Miami, from a Carnival ship to a Royal Caribbean. I got a taxi, asked him how much it would be to a hotel in downtown Miami, then offered to pay him that same amount to take me from one ship to the other. Worked out for both of us. I got where I wanted to go, and he got a decent fare for very little distance and time.
