BeccaBecca1713 Posted May 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I see a place called Capital Parking in Tampa. Any reviews good or bad? I've done off site parking in Port Canaveral and loved it. Saved major bucks. I was gonna go ahead and at least reserve at this place in Tampa but I see you have to go ahead and enter payment information. Before I do that I want to make sure they're on the up and up. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted May 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Ive seen several places discussed for offsite parking in Tampa on the Florida Departures board. I just went out of tampa twice, but I stayed at a hotel the night before. I am sure there are several places. I saw shuttles for parking lots continually in and out while I waited for my airport shuttle. I dont remember seeing Capital, but they could be a smaller one.

gred1994 Posted May 21, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm planning on using Capital, so I'm awaiting reviews/ thoughts too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaded Lady Posted May 21, 2012 #4 Share Posted May 21, 2012 We're using a place called Parking241... It's close to the Tampa Carnival terminal, you keep your keys and it was $32.50 for 5 days, prepaid. The reviews I read we're good fr both it and Capital.

rdevine10 Posted May 21, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 21, 2012 We used capital for our april cruise and we were very happy. Parking is close to the port, quick service and great rates! You keep your keys but have to prepay online. It was super easy and i would not hesitate to use them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear you keep your keys, especially after the news story about the one lot in PC where they took someone's vette out for a joyride, LOL!

I found a discount code at http://www.longtermparking.com/COUPONS/cpcapitalporttpa.htm that gave us one day free. I paid a total of $38.88, including tax for 7 days.

BeccaBecca1713 Posted May 21, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Is the lot secure? As in fenced? EDIT: Nevermind, found on their website where they say they are gated! Thanks again for the replies!! Love saving me some money!:D Edited May 21, 2012 by BeccaBecca1713 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was the pick up from the port and how quick were they getting you back to your car? We plan on doing self-assist debark so we will be off fairly early I'm hoping. We have a 9 hour drive ahead of us so we want to get on the road ASAP. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molme Posted May 21, 2012 #10 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Have you considered a park and cruise pkg from a hotel? We got the Hampton Inn Ybor City for $94 for our Jun cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeccaBecca1713 Posted May 21, 2012 Author #11 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Have you considered a park and cruise pkg from a hotel? We got the Hampton Inn Ybor City for $94 for our Jun cruise I've done that in the past, but this time we are staying the night at my brother's house in Green Cove Springs, then drive to Tampa morning of cruise. Only downside is that I'll miss some great Cuban food for dinner the night before.:(:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did self assist as well. We got off the Legend and made our way across the street to the "pizza" shape as indicated (a 2 minute walk from the port). We stopped there, DH called the driver listed on the card and literally he showed up less than 1 minute later. Ride to the car was very minimal- 2 to 3 minutes maybe? Lot is gated and fenced. Man was nice. I was very happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't have asked for more prompt service and Mike was a super nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbour Island is an upscale area, luxury hotels and residences and would feel safer parking there than at the port. Great find! Curious if you remember the place in PC? I'll be cruising from there in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedbirdFL Posted May 22, 2012 #19 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Curious if you remember the place in PC? I'll be cruising from there in August. In Port Canaveral, we used parkcruise.com. They were great and so much cheaper than the port.

crusinpsychRN Posted May 28, 2012 #24 Share Posted May 28, 2012 How far a walk are these places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirGoose29445 Posted May 28, 2012 #25 Share Posted May 28, 2012 This one apparently has something that will take you back and forth for the parking...if all works out as planned, I will have saved $55, just always worried about it working out as planned!
