Tampa Cruise Leave From Terminal #6, Next Sailing Leaves From Terminal #3

[Jmillsarch]

We are sailing from Tampa on Brilliance of the Seas 11-03-2018 and the Tampa port schedule says we're sailing out of terminal #6.

 

The next sailing 5 days later says its sailing out of Terminal #3.

 

Are we going to dock and get dropped off at terminal #6, then Brilliance will move to terminal #3?

 

Or, are we going to dock at terminal #3 and have to walk to our cars parked at terminal #6?

 

Anyone have any experience with this?

 

Thanks,

 

James

There is only one parking garage in Tampa it is used by everyone. Take a look at Google earth and you will see that it is not a big deal.

Cruise terminal #6 has its own parking lot.

If anyone was wondering:

 

The cruise left from terminal 6 and we parked our cars there.

 

The cruise returned to terminal 3 and they had SUV's shuttling people to their parked cars at terminal 6.

 

There was quite a rush to claim the SUV's as hundreds of people needed to get to there vehicles.

 

Our family of 4 and another family of 4 claimed the same SUV for about 15 seconds.

 

We decided not to argue and then squeezed 8 people, our luggage, and the driver into a Suburban.

 

It was a bit of a disaster for those involved.

When we sailed last year we sailed from Terminal 3, but returned to Terminal 6.  We knew it was probably going to be a mess, so we opted to do Valet.  While we were gone our cars were moved to the other terminal.  We had our car and was driving away in less than 10 min.

 

my advice to anyone in this situation go ahead and pay $20 for valet!!!  Well worth it!!

Is there any way to know ahead of time if your terminals will be different?  We're on the Rhapsody 2/16 and we will valet anyway but just wondered if there's a way to know??

The Port of Tampa Web site has a schedule page - click on your day/ship and a pop-up will tell you the terminal and any info relating to the departure. It's one of the better port sites out there.
