• Tampa Marriott Water Street — on the water by the Convention Center.
• JW Marriott Tampa Water Street — upscale, steps from Sparkman Wharf.
• Embassy Suites Tampa Downtown Convention Center — suites, breakfast included.
• The Westin Tampa Waterside — on Harbour Island, a short ride across the bridge.

Downtown & Ybor City

• Le Méridien Tampa — historic former courthouse downtown.
• Hotel Haya — boutique in Ybor City, on the TECO Line Streetcar route.

Near the airport

Airport-area hotels (Westshore) are cheaper and handy for late arrivals, but you'll need a ~15-minute ride to the port on sail day.

Park-and-cruise packages, shuttle availability and prices change often — confirm directly with each hotel. We do not list prices we haven't verified.
