01 · TERMINAL
Terminal 2 (Norwegian / Royal Caribbean / Celebrity / Regent)
651 Channelside Drive, Tampa, FL 33602
Drop-off: Take Channelside Drive to Terminal 2 at 651 Channelside Dr. The drop-off area is right in front of the terminal — pull up, unload luggage curbside with porters (tip $2-3 per bag), then loop around to the parking garage. The terminal is well-signed once you're on Channelside.
PARKING
The covered parking garage across from the terminal runs a rate the port quotes at booking rather than publishing and accepts credit cards and cash. You can pre-book online through the Port Tampa Bay website for a guaranteed spot. The garage fills up on busy sailing days, so arrive early or reserve ahead. No debit cards at entry gates.
02 · BOARD
Boarding: Royal Caribbean online check-in typically opens about 45 days before sailing, and you select your arrival time in the Royal Caribbean app as part of it. Earlier arrival slots typically fill first, so checking in the day it opens gives you the most choice.
- □ Keep your ID, boarding documents, and medication in your carry-on Checked bags may not reach your cabin until later in the day.
- □ Use the arrival time printed in your boarding documents Your cruise line's current documents are the source of truth for check-in.
- □ Keep one small day bag with anything you need before your cabin is ready You may board before cabins and checked luggage are available.
