Pooch Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Now that my brother and nephew are joining us, my daughters car will no longer be enough to get us from airport to hotel to ship and back. The original plan was to fly into Orlando, stay overnight there & drive to Tampa the next day leaving her car at Parking Doctors. Now I think it would be better to fly to Tampa & spend the night there. So I need suggestions for a hotel, hopefully one that has either an airport or a cruise/park shuttle option (both would be amazing). Any ideas ??

jticarruthers Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 The cruise terminal is in the "downtown" area of Tampa about 15-20 minutes from the airport. I would suggest heading over to downtown when you arrive and then having the short trip to the cruise terminal the next day. I dont have a specific hotel to recommend since i live locally and havent had to use any of them but there are several in the area from all of the major hotel brands if you have a preference. bcarney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted August 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Thank you for your help. As I look around, I THINK (and that's always a crapshoot!!) we are going to stay at the Courtyard Marriott West(something) Airport. They provide airport shuttles. My daughter will join us there after work that evening. The next day, she will drive us to the port and my brother & nephew will take an Uber.

Matt Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 When I want to stay in a city, but dont really care which hotel or specific area (just clean and good price), I am a big fan of Priceline Express Deals. Pick 4 stars or higher and I've usually had very good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't do that, book at Hampton Inn & Suites Tampa Ybor City and explore that part of the city, then take their shuttle (or a Lyft) the mile or so to the port. Ybor City is walkable and you'll have a great evening preceding your cruise. RWDW1204 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even watch them being made. At least that the way it was back in the day. RWDW1204 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted August 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 According to their website, no rooms available for our date. I will keep an eye on that one though. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
