Creator's Key Takeaways

I have found it to be run just as smoothly and efficiently as two of its comparatively giant sister ports

I priced out an Uber from Tampa Airport to the cruise port and it runs about $35 to $50 depending on the time of day

I personally loved it and would have no problem staying here

Ubers are not that expensive my friends

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consult cruise documents to determine your specific departure terminal
✓Book parking in advance for oversized vehicles to avoid selling out
✓Explore Ybor City using a bag storage service to travel light

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Finding the correct terminal at the port — Signage is everywhere indicating where each cruise ship is docked, similar to an airport
High parking costs for oversized vehicles — Book in advance as spaces are few and sell out far in advance
