Which Tampa Terminal Does Your Ship Use?

Port Tampa Bay has three cruise terminals and two separate official parking locations. Select your ship to see which terminal you’re leaving from and where to park for it.

Schedules change and ships get reassigned — if your ship isn’t listed, just call us with your ship and sail date.

Good To Know

Three Terminals, Two Parking Locations

Every Tampa cruise terminal is in the Channel District, a few blocks apart — but the port runs two separate official parking locations, and which one you use depends on your terminal.

Royal Caribbean · Norwegian · Celebrity · Regent

Terminal 2 — 651 Channelside Drive

Park at the Channelside Parking Garage, 810 Channelside Drive, a short walk west.

Carnival

Terminal 3 — 815 Channelside Drive

Park at the Channelside Parking Garage, directly across the street. Enter the terminal from York Street.

Margaritaville at Sea

Terminal 6 — 1333 McKay Street

Park at the official McKay Street lot, 1331 McKay Street, right next door. Not the Channelside garage.

Your boarding documents name your terminal. If you can’t find it, one call and we’ll confirm it and reserve the right location.

How It Works

From Channelside Drive to a Confirmed Spot

  1. Tell us your ship and sail date — we confirm which of the three terminals you’re leaving from.
  2. We match you to the right location — Terminals 2 and 3 use one garage, Terminal 6 uses a separate lot.
  3. Call Phone Reservations to check current availability.
  4. We confirm your spot and complete your reservation.

Situations Worth Mentioning When You Call

Sailing Margaritaville at Sea?

Your ship leaves from Terminal 6 on McKay Street, which has its own official lot. The Channelside garage everyone else uses won’t work for you. Call so we reserve the right one.

Driving a van, RV or anything over 17.5 feet?

The port doesn’t publish size limits or rates for oversized vehicles. We have a lot that takes them, with a free shuttle to your terminal. Tell us what you’re driving before you set out.

Lots of luggage or traveling with older passengers?

Drop passengers and bags at the terminal before you park — porters take it from there. And the official garage offers a valet upgrade if you’d rather not park yourself.

FAQ

Tampa Cruise Parking Questions

Where do I park for Terminal 2 or Terminal 3?
At the official Channelside Parking Garage, 810 Channelside Drive. It’s directly across from Terminal 3 and a short walk from Terminal 2.
Where do I park for Terminal 6?
At the official McKay Street lot, 1331 McKay Street, right next to the terminal. Don’t use the Channelside garage for a Terminal 6 sailing — there’s no practical walking route between them.
Can I reserve official port parking in advance?
Yes. Port Tampa Bay takes advance reservations, and we can book it for you by phone.
How is parking billed?
By the night. A five-night cruise is five nights of parking. We’ll confirm the exact count for your sailing when you call.
What time can I park?
Official port parking opens to cruise passengers from 10:00 AM on sailing day.
Which cruise lines sail from Tampa?
Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Celebrity, Regent Seven Seas and Margaritaville at Sea.
Does Disney sail from Tampa?
Not on the current schedule. Disney and MSC sail from Port Canaveral, on Florida’s Atlantic coast. We handle Port Canaveral parking too.
Can I drop off passengers and luggage first?
Yes. Drop them at your terminal, then go park.
Is there luggage storage at the terminals?
No. The Florida Aquarium, next to Terminal 2 at 701 Channelside Drive, stores bags with an admission ticket.
