Tampa Evening Flight

[georgiaguy]

I’m on a Royal Cruise in January and the flights that made the most sense cost wise was an evening flight. Obviously there is going to be some time to kill. My friends flight is mid afternoon and so I figure we will go to the airport at the same time. Not so concerned about that part. Question is what should we do until then. Saw something about the aquarium but any other ideas? One other note, we are on a budget so hopefully keeping it lower end of costs.

We absolutely loved the aquarium. It is a great way to kill a couple hours.

Not sure what you would do with your luggage but the Riverwalk is pleasant.

I recommend the aquarium there as well but it's right next to the cruise terminals so again, luggage is an issue, it seems.

The Aquarium will hold luggage.

If the aquarium has luggage storage, then that's the place to go!

It's right there at the port.

FYI, there is always a chance of fog so you may get to stay on the boat through lunch. That happened to us on a Celebrity cruise.
