Tampa Cruise Reviews

Gotta go to 'Seasons 52' restaurant. Great menu, great food. ...

FABULOUS, we did a pre and post cruise stay over in Tampa's Ybor City Historic District. Lots of Cuban influence restaurants, bars, shops and traditional cuban style cigar shops on and in the 7th Avenue part of the district. You need to take the free electric street car that runs from Ybor to downtown Tampa, its about 2.5 miles and takes about a 1 hour RT ride. ...

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

Great embarkation. ...

Very easy to board and well organized ! ...

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! ...

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). ...
