Tampa Port Valet Parking

[Lamar20]

I am wondering if you valet park at the port, do they park your car in the parking deck? And also is your car ready by dockside upon arrival?

The cars for valet are parked together in a special parking lot.  Your car will be quickly brought to you when you get off the ship.

 

When we sailed from Tampa we left from Terminal 3 but returned to Terminal 6...because we did valet our cars were moved down to the Terminal 6 lot before we arrived and was waiting for us to leave the ship.

 

In my opinion the extra $20 for valet parking in Tampa is well worth it!!!

We just got off the Rhapsody in Tampa on Saturday and the ship was docked at terminal 6.  We purchased valet parking ahead of time for $124 for the week.  Check in was fast as we were directed to the Valet parking desk where our luggage was unloaded.  They had a porter come and take the luggage for us.  We were given a receipt/ ticket to give to them when we return.  When we returned we had a porter and he took us to the Valet Parking area.  We gave the desk the ticket and waited maybe 5-10 minutes while they retrieved the car.  They loaded the trunk for us and off we went.  The car was kept in a fenced open area.  Very easy to do and no shlepping luggage!!

We wouldn't park anywhere but the valet parking in Tampa.  The cars are in a special lot, a very short distance from the ship.  I could see our car before we left the boat.
