Where Does NCL Star Dock While in Tampa?

Hello

My question says it all. I'm looking at a Google map and I see the Channelside Drive cruise port. Is that it?

Thanks

That's where all of the other lines dock. There are a few berths there. If you are on channelside drive, the parking is on one side of the street, and the peirs are on the other side. There are some shops & restaurants nearby as well. Very well marked.

The Port of Tampa is the best cruise port I have ever sailed from...it is great with valet parking...the valet costs a few dollars more than regular parking but it is well worth....no stress, no hassle....

okay, so where does NCL sail from?

NCL has not started sailing out of Tampa yet. The Star is still in LA, so I don't think we'll know for sure until the Star moves there, which I believe will be this fall.

Sorry!

The Star arrives in Tampa on Oct 16 after spending 22 days traveling from Vancouver and LA through the Panama canal. It will be doing it`s last season of Alaska ports from Seattle before making Tampa it`s new winter home.

I know as I am on those sailings.

LOL-it's hard to keep up with which ship is gonna be where...but I think 'temporary' winter home is a better fit. The Dawn will be coming to Tampa the following winter (Star moving to NOLA I think---but haven't checked lately)

You're correct Monte. The Spirit will be going back either to Asia, back in the Star Cruises fleet, or into the European market. All this juggling will coincide with on of the new builds starting soon at Meyer Werft.

Yep, there are a few holes in the schedules around when the first of the new builds comes on line (of course I'm not even sure of the scheduled date--so my opinion counts for squat). I'm anxious to see how it'll all work itself out...and then a year or so later again when the next one comes out

Star is moving to NYC April 27 of 2012. We're booked on the 2 night CTN when she gets here.

Not staying long though...I think she relocates in Oct to NOLA for at least that one winter

After that NY might have to make due with the Pearl & Gem for a while :)

That`s the plan - NY to NOLA in Oct 2012 - there is already as large group of CCers with a roll call well underway.

The Star will be sailing from Terminal 3 in the Channelside district. This is the terminal building that is just north of the Florida Aquarium. Currently, the RCCL Jewel of the Seas and HAL's Ryndam (just left) sail out of it. The Rynadam will move to Terminal 6 (furthest north) which is currently being refurbished. Carnival's ships will continue to sail out of Terminal 2.

We live in Channelside and it will be an awesome sight to have 3 ships at once on Sundays in November!
