Tampa Is The Best

[BettyPC]

We haven't sailed from Tampa yet - but will be glad to do so!

Embark and Debark on the Paradise left something to be desired. Good to know that Vision and BR seem to know what they are doing. We sail April 2nd on Vision.

And, this will be our first RCCL out of here. We normally arrive early so that we can enjoy the ship and get settled in early.

What is a good time to arrive at the port to board the Vision on Saturday the 2nd of April?

 

We were on the same cruise as you, hugger. It was, in all aspects, the best cruise we have ever had. Embarkation was a breeze (we were on board at 11am) and the same can be said for disembarkation-we left the main theatre and made it to the airport and through security in less than 40 minutes.

 

Tampa is now on my 'short list' of places to cruise from. The city itself is fantastic for pre-cruise days, and the entire port experience is something that should be replicated in all ports. Totally stress free.

 

This whole cruise experience made cruising fun again. :)

So Happy that you had the same type of experience we did with Port of Tampa. Impressive - now IF we could just get larger ships under the Skyway Bridge.

Did you by any chance see us pass under it on this cruise - not a lot of clearance for the ship. Now I completely understand WHY we can't have the larger ships at our current port.
