One of the Crystal ships was supposed end its autumn 2005
trans-Atlantic cruise in Tampa; then do a round trip and then leave Tampa for a trans-canal cruise. We signed up for one but they soon changed Tampa to Ft. Lauderdale. We unsigned up (signed down?).

The problem with the port of Tampa is there are limited options available.
Anything going to the east must sail around Key West, so the port is limited to western Caribbean itineraries. Also, the port is way inland (a good three hours sailing to get under the Sunshine Skyway bridge), and that bridge limits the heights of cruise ships using the port of Tampa. That said, Tampa is getting more and more ships as Carnival plans on running two ships out of there year round, and Holland America, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity all running regular itineraries from there.

They have been running 2 ships out of there for years. I have done 4 trips out of Tampa and like it better than Miami and New Orleans. The port of New Orleans was a zoo. I would not sail out of there again if the cruise was free.

I have cruised out of this port 3 times and we had no problems. The porters were courteous and the check-in staff was friendly. Becca -----not thrilled with the port in NY though...
