august_cruiser Posted July 25, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2005 We are sailing on the Inspiration on 8/15 and Amtrak changed our departing time from 12:30 pm to 9:40 am. The station is just a few miles from the Tampa port, but I am not sure we will make it. Should I just plan on staying an extra day in Tampa or do you think we can make the 9:40 a.m. train? Thanks,:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Luv Crusin Posted July 25, 2005 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2005 It all depends.............When we got off the Inspiration the "self-assist" people who hauled ALL their luggage off themselves were able to leave at 7:30am, we had a 11:40a flight and left at 8:30, by the time we got a shuttle it was 9am. If the ship is held for any reason you will probably not make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEL67 Posted July 25, 2005 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Its possible that you could make it, but very risky. Any hold up such as foreign nationals not reporting to immigration or people not paying their bill could cause disembarkation to be delayed for an hour or more.

yogimax Posted July 25, 2005 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2005 There's no way anyone can know ahead of time. It all depends on customs and immigration. There are certainly no assurances. You might want to seriously consider Plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip2cruise Posted July 25, 2005 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I would plan on staying an extra day, book a hotel room you can cancel and head over to the station to try to catch the train. Trains have a way of running late :) So that 9:40 train might not arrive in Tampa until 11-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
