Tampa Cruise Reviews

We stayed the night before the cruise in Ybor City. It was a neat little area. I recommend staying there. ...

Embarkation was AWESOME. Debarkation not so much. ...

Great embarkation. ...

We ended up at a festival by accident in Ybor and it was a cool city to see. Go to Columbia restaurant and get the sangria! ...

Very easy to board and well organized ! ...

Embarkation is the worst in the history of cruises and that is due to the poor antiquated port set up. HINT: get there after 1PM and you won't stand in line for 2 to 3 hours. ...

Beautiful city. 20 min. port access from TPA (airport) Uber/Lyft gave good access. Don't pay $21 pp for cruise shuttle on disembark to TPA. Shuttle vans available for $8 pp (cash) from private vendor once you get off the ship. ...

Too slow. Poor area for sitting (wheelchair access)=uncomfortable, sunny exposure...not enough pushers/staff for wheel chairs nor enough intake personnel to expedite the embarkation process. ...

Easy port to cruise out of with decent hotels nearby; close to Ybor City (but don't try to walk from Channelside to Ybor - very dodgy areas in between). ...

Make sure you visit historic Ybor district ...
