On a short trip the parking bill is a real share of the fare, so it is worth pricing early.

Parking at Port Tampa Bay: rates, garages and the alternativesOfficial port parking runs about $18 a day plus tax, and the garage faces Terminal 3 with Terminal 2 a short walk west. Here is the full picture, including when it is worth not using it.Port Tampa Bay terminals: which one is yours, and what to expectThree terminals, three different addresses, and satellite navigation will happily send you to the wrong one. Here is which line uses which building, and what the arrival actually looks like.Hotels near the Tampa cruise port: what is actually walkableThe Channel District wraps around the terminals, and a handful of hotels there are close enough to roll a suitcase. Here is the honest distance picture, plus the park-and-cruise maths.A spare day in Tampa before your cruiseArriving a day early is the safest way to catch a ship. Tampa happens to be a genuinely good city to spend that day in, and most of it is within a couple of miles of the terminals.
