Tips for Cruising from Tampa
- Western Caribbean focus: Tampa's location on the Gulf Coast makes it ideal for Western Caribbean and Mexico sailings. Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Honduras are common stops.
- Less crowded than Miami: Tampa's port handles fewer ships, which means faster embarkation and a more relaxed experience. Parking is also easier and cheaper.
- Carnival and Royal Caribbean: These two lines run the majority of Tampa sailings. Carnival in particular uses Tampa as a year-round home port.
- Combine with a beach trip: Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach are 30 minutes from the port. Add a day or two before your cruise for a beach-and-cruise combo vacation.
