GTO-Girl Posted February 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2018 We love Marriott Waterside or Embassy Suites downtown. Such a pretty area and you are right on the trolley line if you want to visit Ybor City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted February 27, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Several hotels in the Rocky Point area meet your needs and offer both airport and port shuttles - Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn, chase Suites, etc. Dates and a budget would help the suggestions to be closer to your target?

Momofpuppy Posted February 27, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2018 How far a walk from Baggage claim at Tampa Airport to where the hotel shuttles pick up guests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted February 27, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Depending upon which luggage carousel your airline uses, 75-100+ yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueHerons Posted March 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Rocky Point is a great area to stay in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1962 Posted March 1, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 1, 2018 We stayed at the Embassy Suites Tampa Downtown / Convention Center and enjoyed it. The trolley to Ybor City and other areas stops right out front. We used Lyft from the airport and to the cruise ship. It was cheaper than a taxi or shuttle. You could actually take the trolley to the cruise port, if you don’t have a lot of luggage and don’t mind walking a little from the trolley stop to the baggage drop off.

Megan_Strick Posted March 2, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Is there anything to do at the Port area? Our flight comes in at 2:15. Any shopping or anything near the hotels there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted March 2, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 2, 2018 If you stay near the airport (Westshore) there's a larger "International Mall" nearby. Ybor City has some good dining options and nightlife - it can get busy/noisy on weekends. Rocky Point is a nice area to relax with several good hotel options and views of the Bay. Or rent a car and head to St. Pete or Clearwater (great beaches). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseaholichal Posted March 6, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Does anyone know of a hotel/motel that offers parking for the week if booked in the night before a cruise ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted March 6, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Does anyone know of a hotel/motel that offers parking for the week if booked in the night before a cruise ? Many of the Rocky Point hotels offer cruise parking packages that include shuttles to/from the port. I would also check www.stay123.com and www.parksleepfly.com Good luck! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
