dacsmom Posted July 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Tampa is one of my favorite ports to sail from. The Riverwalk is beautiful at night. I have never felt unsafe, but always be cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dacsmom Posted July 20, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If you are looking for dinner the night before, Berns Steakhouse is my favorite restaurant. They are pricey, but that is my all time favorite restaurant. We have taken trips to Tampa just to go to dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todurkin Posted July 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hi all, we are from the UK and we are sailing out of tampa on feb 7th 2015.We are staying the night before the cruise at the intercontinental tampa hotel.We were wondering is tampa safe to walk about at night, Cheers As others have stated, it's a safe area. My GF and I spent the weekend in Tampa before a cruise, near the port at the Embassy Suites, and really enjoyed it. Riverside is a great area, and is beautiful at night for a walk along the water. My GF went running both mornings, along the water. Never felt unsafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_BJ Posted July 21, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) you are coming from afar so I'm going to expand BERNS not just a steakhouse ... this can be a full evening of entertainment Besides the wonderful food (order one steak for two ... if the two want theirs cooked different, BERNS does that without cutting the steak ... well up to a point anyway) Just ask and you can tour the kitchen Just ask and you can tour the wine cellar ... a TRUE wine cellar and BERNS has possibly the LARGEST wine collection of any rest'rnt ANYWHERE. Much of their wine collection is held off site. Make a reservation not only for dinner but also for the separate dessert room . . . If you enjoy BERNS to the fullest, it is a 3 to 4 hour experience. I can't wait to back . . . http://www.bernssteakhouse.com/ my first visit .. 1978 my last .. too long ago altho spousal unit went last week without me .. the scamp!
