Where Can I Park My Car at the Port of Tampa on Holland America Line
Be prepared to pay $14 a day to park in the parking located at the Tampa cruise terminal, which is Terminal 3 for Holland America Line. Advance reservations are not required. You will pay upfront (cash, major credit card or US traveler's check only) – not when you leave.
There are several offsite parking lots with shuttles to the Tampa port – the savings can be significant. If you are arriving by car the night before your cruise, several of the hotels in the area may let you leave your car in their lot while you cruise. However, you will need to stay at least one night before your cruise – look for "Park 'n Stay" rates advertised by the hotel. These hotels usually have a shuttle to take you to and from the cruise port. (verified April 2010)
When does my flight need to arrive in Tampa for my Holland America Line cruise?
If you are flying in to Tampa International Airport (TPA) on the day of your cruise, make sure you allow plenty of time to get to the ship. Holland America Line recommends arriving in to TPA by 2:00 PM at the latest on the day of embarkation. After your cruise, your flight should not leave before 12:00 PM from TPA.
What Holland America Line ships are based in Tampa?
The Holland America Line cruise ship that sails from Tampa is the

What time can I board my Holland America Line cruise out of Tampa?
Boarding for your Holland America Line cruise starts at 12:30 PM. If possible get there early to avoid the lines. You must be checked-in at least 90 minutes prior to the scheduled cruise departure.
How much does it cost to take a taxi from Tampa International Airport to Holland America Line's cruise terminal in Tampa?
Don't get ripped off – the cab driver should charge you a flat $24 rate each way from Tampa International Airport (TPA) to Holland America Line's Tampa cruise terminal. Yes, the cruise lines offer bus transfers, but, for two people, a cab is a cheaper, more efficient option (and you don't have to wait for a bus to be filled-up before leaving the airport for the cruise port).
Alternative cruise lines for European and Transatlantic cruises which may offer cruises from Amsterdam include
Azamara Club Cruises,
Carnival Cruises,
Celebrity Cruises and
Royal Caribbean.
