bellybutton Posted January 11, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2006 We are driving to Tampa April 8 to leave on the 9 for our cruise. Has anyone stayed at any decent hotels there and left their van at the hotel for the week and had their shuttle take you to the port? What hotels did you stay at?

Kokomos Posted January 12, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Wyndham Westshore does not charge to leave you car parked there They share a 7 story parking garage with a couple of buinesses but Im not sure if they shuttle to the port. You could always catch a cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellybutton Posted January 12, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Thanks, I'm not having very good luck finding many. It seems that the price of the room would be the same if I got a lower priced hotel and payed for parking at the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrqoisWtrs Posted January 12, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2006 We stayed here - they have a ship/shore package which includes free parking and shuttle to/from the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kokomos Posted January 13, 2006 #7 Share Posted January 13, 2006 We got the Wyndham through priceline 65.00 plus tax and fees total 80.78 I have seen people get it as low as 45.00 check out bidding for travel if you havent already. It gives you an idea on how much to bid. Florida - Tampa/Clearwater/St. Petersburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaNC Posted January 13, 2006 #8 Share Posted January 13, 2006 cruisin' tiger, How would you describe the hotel you stayed at? We're interested in one night pre-cruise. How far from port and airport. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrqoisWtrs Posted January 13, 2006 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Hey Sheila, here's my review and subsequent questions. If you need anything else, just ask. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaNC Posted January 13, 2006 #10 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Thanks so much for pointing out your review. I have reserved for us for Feb 1 pre-cruise. One more question, on the Web site there was no special related to pre-cruise. I got a good government price (my husband's ID) but want to be sure that the shuttle service from and to the airport and port are included. Are these special arrangements or do they do that for everyone? I love the idea of being close to the water prior to sailing. Thanks for the recommendation.

starketcher Posted January 13, 2006 #11 Share Posted January 13, 2006 It's been a while since I used Priceline, so if I bid on the hotel, how do I make sure I would get the Wyndham? Or is it still take what you get for that price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrqoisWtrs Posted January 13, 2006 #12 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Sheila - hmmm, good question. It does state under hotel amenities 'complimentary shuttle'. Then in another section it mentions With our complimentary shuttle service (also available to and from Tampa International Airport), ... making it seem you can get the shuttle to other places beside the airport. But, I would call to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
