Planning the trip around it
Practical guides to hotels and days out around Tampa Bay.
Tampa parking the night before a cruise or a game
Port Tampa Bay's cruise garage is $19 a night, plus $11.99 a pass. Downtown hotel valet starts at $39, and Westshore hotels by the Bucs stadium self-park for $15 to $25.
St. Pete Beach on a budget
The beach is public, so a $109 room sits on the same sand as a $409 one. September is the cheapest month, and Sunday to Wednesday the cheapest nights.
Is the Busch Gardens Fun Card worth it?
A Fun Card costs about two discounted day tickets and covers up to sixteen months. Parking is extra at about $35 a visit, and four visits' parking costs more than the card.
