Yeah, being just a couple of hours away makes a huge difference, I envy that for sure. The other thing for me is lots of kids, the extra hassle, luggage, and trying to keep everyone happy. You've got a very good point, If it was just me and a significant other, it would be a completely different dynamic, and using a four-day cruise for a little escape sounds great.

 

Haha, over those holiday weekends sounds even better. I love Virginia Beach, but I wouldn't go within 10 miles of it on the Memorial Day, Fourth of July, or Labor Day holiday. They become so crowded, they're unrecognizable, other times it's very nice.

Everything else being equal sailing out of Tampa is awesome, both in terms of how easy the port is to manage and in terms of sailing under the Skyway bridge which is really cool.

The bad part about sailing out of Tampa, which may not be bad for everyone, is only Fantasy and Spirit class ships can sail from there.
