Pre-cruise
For our first cruise on NCL, we flew into Tampa a day early and stayed at the Hampton Inn -- Rocky Point using their $119 cruise package rate. The package included: transportation from the airport to the hotel upon arrival, transportation to the cruise terminal for embarkation, and transportation from the cruise terminal to airport or back to the hotel after debarkation. The hotel is located about 15-20 minutes from both the airport and cruise terminal.
