coaster Posted February 11, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Love to see Tampa mentioned in regards to NCL. It has been a long wish of mine to see NCL departing from this area and it finally has happened. Best wishes to you folks on your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaHunt Posted February 11, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Just a friendly heads up from a FL resident - the temps will be pretty low (for us, anyway) on Saturday night, so plan on keeping a jacket or coat ready. It looks like Tampa's forecast 70 degrees Saturday during the day, but dropping to 36 degrees Saturday night, with Sunday at 56 degrees, dropping to 32 degrees Sunday night. Brrrrr! Don't put your flip flops on quite yet! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forecast for Roatan, Belize, Costa Maya and Cozumel looks much better!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coaster Posted February 11, 2012 #11 Share Posted February 11, 2012 It is true it will be chilly upon departure. It is still worth the view on a top deck to see the passage under the Sunshine Skyway Bridge before the ship gets into the Gulf. It really is a sight see how close the clearance is and hear the traffic above. Looking forward to the lower temps here myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we will be on a top deck for passage under the bridge with our jackets on for sure. Ferguson VT posted a link above with some good pics of it.

I hope we are as lucky as you to see a similar view tomorrow. And, thanks for the bridge ETA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerTravelGuy Posted February 11, 2012 #15 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Cruising on Sunday. A big thanks to everyone here for helping us prepare for our Cruise. Woohoo, we are ready!:) Suggestion for lunch or dinner on Sat ( if it's not too late) from a Tampa area local. Consider the historic Columbian Restaurant in Ybor City (a section on Tampa where the use to make Cigars). It's a trolley ride away from Channelside (the port area) plus there are historic sites 3-blocks away from the Columbian).
