We're scheduled for our cruise to leave Tampa on Jan 12, so I've booked our flights out of Nashville for the day before. Knowing Nashville weatherin the winter, I opted for the earliest flight available just in case we get some ice. We'll curently be flying into Tampa at 9:30 local time on the 11th, and I'm trying to decide if renting a car is the most economic plan instead of taking uber or something like that. I do know that our hotel will let me store the bags if we arrive early (they do have a complementary shuttle from the airport but their cost to travel to the cruise port is $20) We're hoping to have some time to explore a bit in Tampa the day before and I have looked at some of the public transportation, but unsure what will be our best value.
