Rare shipshape sam Posted July 24 #1 Share Posted July 24 Wondering how long from leaving Tampa to go under the bridge. We have never seen the bridge and thought it might be nice to be on a top deck. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted July 24 #2 Share Posted July 24 Days...because the Bridge of Americas is over the Panama Canal. There is also a land bridge of the same name in El Paso, Tx. Edit...I guess you changed the name of the thread. I believe you are referring to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrhdhd Posted July 24 #3 Share Posted July 24 It's usually about two hours from departure to passing under the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ O'Pootertoot Posted July 24 #4 Share Posted July 24 Just confirming, I did a cruise out of Tampa last year and I looked back at my pictures: we left at 4:10 and the pictures I took of the bridge are 6:15 so 2 hours is just about dead on.

cruisegirl1 Posted August 5 #7 Share Posted August 5 The timing is correct. Once the ship leaves, the captain will generally announce when he expects to go under the bridge. If you miss it, you can catch in when you return, about 4 or 5 am. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
