Clarea Posted January 19, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Flying into tampa leaving from port canaveral Sorry, I missed the Port Canaveral part. You're about 2.5 hours driving time from Port Canaveral. Best to engage a one-way car rental from the Tampa Airport to one of the rental agencies in the Port Canaveral area.

We are going March 5 I doubt very much if any Tampa hotel offers any shuttle to Port Canaveral because of the distance. Orlando is much closer to Port Canaveral. Some Tampa hotels offer shuttles to the Tampa port. I'm curious as to why you're staying overnight in Tampa which is nowhere near Port Canaveral. Look at a Florida map. Yes, the Jade offers specialty coffee in the Atrium. You sit, sip, and in the evening listen to musician. During the day you can look out at the sea.

NMLady Posted January 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The Marriott Courtyard in downtown Tampa has a cruise package with shuttles from airport to hotel and hotel to cruise terminal. That would be fine if she were going to Tampa's port. But for some reason she is staying in Tampa but leaving from Port Canaveral. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WupperAV Posted January 19, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Then in that case, no! Can't recommend a shuttle It is 127 miles and you may have to use Port Shuttle Service and it ain't free so I can't say it's great. Probably over $200 for 2. There are no trains, no bus service so it's Uber, Taxi or Shuttle Service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted January 20, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Flying into tampa leaving from port canaveral But you state you are on NCL Jade, and she is sailing from Tampa - on March 6. So, are you lost? There is no NCL ship sailing from Port Canaveral on March 5, although NCL Epic sails on March 4 & 8 from PC. Sooo...can you elaborate?

Rare MicCanberra Posted January 20, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) I think some things need to be clarified about the departure port, and soon.:eek: NCL have a café which has specialty coffees for purchase, they are also available in the Main dining room also for purchase.

We are going March 5 First of all, your question is specific to the NCL Jade. I recommend that you ask your coffee question in the NCL forum where you will find more people who are familiar with the NCL Jade. As to Tampa, you might find that you'll get more information if you post your question in the North American Homeports / Florida. If you are in a suite, I believe you'll find an espresso machine in your cabin. I don't drink coffee, so I never tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
