montecarloss Posted February 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Either 2-1, 2-8 or 2-15-2015 out of Tampa. Want to get their a few days before and stay a few days after. Maybe in Clearwater. Any ideas about which date might be the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S'WELL Posted February 19, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Your latest choice runs into president's day week-end. May want to avoid that date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangegrove Posted February 19, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I agree with S'WELL, avoid President's Week. Many schools in the north have that week off. If you want less little people go 2-1 or 2-8. Probably cheaper also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coscab Posted February 19, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Either 2-1, 2-8 or 2-15-2015 out of Tampa. Want to get their a few days before and stay a few days after. Maybe in Clearwater. Any ideas about which date might be the best? We are sailing 2-1-15 on the Sun, when we sail out of Tampa we have stayed at Marriott Waterside but if you want the beach Clearwater would be nice but probably crowded. Any week on the Sun will be wonderful, she is our favorite ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergusonvt Posted February 19, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Yes! Book 2/1 and join our roll call! I just booked the Holiday Inn Rocky Point for the night prior to the cruise. It is a good price and the hotel is nice. The price includes transportation for 2 to the port. When we plan on being somewhere for more than 1 night we try to book something closer to major attractions but for this cruise we are spending several days before in the Orlando area so basically just need a hotel, breakfast and transportation to the port plus when we drop off our rental car earlier that day they will pick us up at the airport also.

montecarloss Posted February 20, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'm not sure what I wanted to do our other days in Florida, maybe we will take a look at Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CTCruiser001 Posted February 20, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Another vote for the 2/1/2015 sailing! We are going to have Fun on the Sun! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecruisers723 Posted February 21, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) We just got off a cruise 11 days ago (our 15th), so we're taking a long weekend land vacation in May near Tampa. Since it's cheaper to fly into Orlando vs. Tampa, we're arriving at 10:00 AM on a Thursday and going straight to a theme park in Orlando for the day. Then we're making the 1 hr. drive to Tampa that night and staying for 3 nights at St. Pete Beach. We really like the beach access & restaurants/shops within walking distance of the Grand Plaza Hotel there. So we booked it. But there are cheaper hotels on or near the beach on St. Pete's Beach. Our flight home on Sunday isn't until 7:00 PM. So we're going to the horse races in Tampa that day before driving the hour back to Orlando for our flight home. By the way, we are booked on the Sun to Alaska in 2015. So we'll be ready to cruise again by then and are looking forward to trying the Sun.
