Does anyone have experience with getting to the Tampa cruise port on the Saturday of gasparilla pirate invasion? For what it’s worth be boarding at pier six. Staying at a hotel that advertises port shuttles

Last minute sailing surprise! First time on this class of ship. First time out of Tampa. First time sailing as D+. First Royal Up success selection. When: November 19, 2022 Who: Three Best Friends; Hubby, Myself, 16 year old daughter. Ship: Serenade of the Seas Cabin: Owners Suite Itinerary: Tour of the Bahamas, seriously a snooze fest but I'm sailing AND I Love Sailing! One RUB placed, not holding my breath. Hoping we will enjoy sailing from Tampa.

Trying to stay in the positive mindset, we are eagerly looking forward to the BOTS offerings (tomorrow) departing Tampa Fl Summer 2021. If and probably when our November 2020 Mariner sailing is cancelled, (still holding out some hope and positive juju) we will have FCC that needs to be applied or we will lose it. H E double hockey sticks NO WAY!! As I stated previously we will most likely NEVER do FCC again as even the extra 25% does not make the inconvenience worth it for us and our sailing parameters. I digress.... we have 3 sailings in 2021 already with FCC and this impending maybe cancelation allows me to book an additional sailing...a summer 2021 Tampa sailing which is a positive for us as *RCCL does not offer summer sailings from here previously. Anyway, my research is limited so I pose my question to my RCCL blog friends, very nearly the same price would you do 2 connecting JS or a 2 bedroom grand? Stay with me here, kinda cheating but if my daughter and I are in one cabin and my hubby in another by himself he receives more C & A points, correct, 3 per night? Thus he is attributed additional points that I can then have assigned to me because we are a couple? Is it true he gets 3 points a night in the JS if he is staying by himself? Then upon conclusion I am also matched? @twangster@WAAAYTOOO Thoughts? We don't really imbibe so the grand suite concierge lounge benefit is pretty moot. Thanks for your input! I will test, I will drive to the port, I will test again, I want to sail!
