Poohb Posted October 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Our ship is tentatively scheduled to arrive in port at 6 AM. How far is the Tampa airport? Barring complications, what is a 'safe' time to schedule a flight out? Thank you to my knowledgeable CC folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaGrl4Evr Posted October 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I've made and 11:30 am flight out of Tampa but with that said we did the self-assist debarkation plus the weather was picture perfect for the ship to enter the channel under the Skyway Bridge. We were at the airport and sipping coffee by 9:30. I would not however book a flight before 11:30 - noon. It's just the luck of the draw as to what will happen with the weather and/or fog situation. Tampa Airport is about a 15 minute Taxi ride from the port. There is a flat rate of $25 for up to 4 passengers. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDNJehn Posted November 12, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Our itinerary shows an 8am arrival into Tampa. We cruise end of January. I'm looking at a 11:40am flight OR a 6:55pm flight. I'd prefer the earlier. We can self-assist off. Any thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app 11:40 will normally be safe -- the TPA airport is only a 15 minute, $25 cab ride from the port and the TSA lines are not as bad as MCO or MIA. That said, Jan & Feb are the worst months in Tampa for fog, which could delay the ship's arrival by hours. I would still roll the dice and book the 11:40 flight, but there is a chance you could get stuck. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
