Where can I Park my car at the port of Tampa for my Carnival cruise?
Be prepared to pay $14 a day to park in the parking located at the Tampa cruise terminal, which is Terminal 3 for Carnival Cruises. 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 off-site 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.
