MT_Sea_Cruisers Posted January 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Hello fellow Carnival Cruisers! Any recommendations for hotels to stay in in Tampa? Either near Airport with free airport shuttle (to hotel from Airport) or near the port with free shuttle to port on day of embarkation? Many thanks!

Check out Embassy suites at the port. I stayed there last year. It was a solid choice! For the location, price, size of room, included breakfast, it was all-around a good choice for me. I am not one to worry about "free shuttles". Don't pay $200 more for a room because you wanted to "avoid" a $9 Uber. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted January 26, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Stay where you want - a taxi from the TPA airport and nearby hotels to the port is only $25 - and UberX should be under $20. Lots of hotels in the Westshore area near the airport (I like the Embassy Suites there) with nearby dining/shopping. Rocky Point area is more upscale (I like Chase Suites) or stay near the port at the Marriott or Embassy Suites (both are almost walking distance to the port).

GTO-Girl Posted January 27, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 27, 2022 We loved the Marriott Waterside within a mile of the port… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angiedw1 Posted January 29, 2022 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2022 We stayed at the Embassy Suites downtown. The TECO stops right outside the hotel and we rode it to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far a walk from the drop off to the pier? We are staying at Embassy Suites as well. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
