Congrats!!  Curious, what time did you check in? When did your check in open?

cbCRR,  someone mentioned them on this site a few years back,

and like you I tried to look into them before I tired. and couldn't find

really anything. I took a leap of faith because someone mentioned it

here, and I would only be out $28 at that time. (5 day cruise)  When I got

to the garage I mentioned I pre-paid with Park connect and she smiled and

told us to enjoy the cruise.  We have been using them ever sense. My husband is

visually impaired and I do not drop him off, and it is less than a 5min walk. (for us)

I do not know the address, I have always used them and I pay online

print out the info and always print two, in case the person takes one when

I pull in, (that happened one time, when we left they wanted a copy)  I always

also take a screen shot of everything.(thank god I did).  I have always parked

at the Channelside  garage, literally across the street. And yes I agree it saves

a nice amount.

Also check out myparkconnect.com  We use that site every time we

cruise out of Tampa. One of the best ports to park at.

Sorry for your loss. What a wonderful way to celebrate a life that loved cruising.

I had no idea a burial at sea was possible on a cruise ship.  Thank you for your post

and all the information and pictures.  What a thoughtful way to remember your

husband.  How kind of RCC.

I have been reading a lot of reviews, mainly for hotels in Westshore area of Tampa

I did read  that the Hyatt Place in Westshore offers airport, cruise and shuttle service

to International Plaza.  I have not call to verify but did book a pre-cruise stay.

Traveling east coast school Feb vaca,(prices always higher) myself and daughter. Both places are

in same neighborhood, so would you pay $100 more for Hyatt House ($336). Doesn't look

like a sketchy area for walking to the near plaza or restaurants. Might even take Uber if its really hot.

Day before the cruise.  Thanks for your input.

Looking at this excursion, does anyone have any experience with this?

It's with RCC.

It's about $30 for an Uber.  I agree why waist the money for a car. Especially

if your hotel offers shuttle from airport. Uber amount can go up if it's a busy time.

I'm thinking taxis are just lined up?  Or do you think we need to reserve

a private driver?

Is there a designated area for Uber or Lyft pick-ups at the Port of Tampa?

Will be using one to get too airport, or do you suggest another way?

Thanks, we have a 12:30pm flight.

Yes I know you get nothing special for having your status on luggage tags.

My thought was only she should care about her status, it takes a while to reach that

for your average working class person. Care about your status, be proud of your status,

I wouldn't change my tags, but I would also like to see it as "self-pride" Thats all.

Doesn't matter who knows or looks BND,  it's just a self pride thing thats all.

What are you even talking about? It was a legitimate question to the forum if my deal was good.

I agree I read it as a jest.  I don't think he was being mean at all.  Maybe if he added a

wink face the OP wouldn't have been offended.  Was kind of him to apologize, I hope everyone

is happy with whatever deals you find. 

I would care, (not enough to have it changed)  just, I would be proud of

that status.  You paid a lot of money to achieve that.  I would be proud of that

not in a braggy way, just , look what I love to do and get rewarded for it way!!

Buy it now, then if it's cheaper on BF, you can cancel and re-order it?

So true, I bought it.  I have been watching for a while and so far this is the cheapest.

Debating refreshment package, now or black friday?   It's at 30% off.

Who ever is doing the driving they can drop of luggage and pax, go park in

the garage and meet you in line. Depending on the terminal you are sailing out of

it's less than a 5 min walk.  One of my favorite ports for parking convenience.

Congrats!!!  I think no matter where you pick she will love it.

Just figure out if you want it romantic and quiet, or lots of

people watching. Maybe during formal night at a picture stand.

You will diff get greats pics of it.

They can't force you to stay.....but will your names be put on the naughty list.....

Emergency do happen, I guess you just don't show your cards....

This is what I love about the boards.  I would never have thought to email

the dining staff.  Thank you for that I just emailed them. I hope I get

a reply or do I need to wait till I get on the ship to find out if the request

was granted?  Doing a mother daughter cruise celebrating her 30th. And when

we do cruise my husband prefers the windjammer, we never eat at the MDR so this

will be a treat for me. 🤞

Sunday morning is lite traffic. I'm thinking your staying in Revere for price?

Parking at the port is very convenient.  We use "Park Connect" Its a pre-paid

cheaper than garage prices. I'm not sure if it has returned sense covid.

Websit is "Myparkconnect".  I just checked, it's back and prices have gone up.

it is the hotel connected to the airport.

Thank you.

Wondering if it's very noisy?  The plan will be to stay night before cruise, but we arrive

before 9am. Rent a car, sight see ect... Return car same day, Uber to port

next morning. Hotels near airport are roughly same price give or take $$.
