Port Tampa Bay's terminals
Port Tampa Bay has three cruise terminals in the Channel District: Terminal 2 at 651 Channelside Dr., Terminal 3 at 815 Channelside Dr. and Terminal 6 at 1333 McKay St. Your cruise documents tell you which one you sail from.
Option 1: the port's Channelside garage
The port's garage is across the street from Terminal 3, and the port lists a $20 valet upgrade fee. The port doesn't post a daily cruise rate outside its booking flow. A proposed port tariff effective October 1, 2026 lists $19 per passenger-vehicle space; we mark that unconfirmed until it appears in a quote.
Option 2: Harbor Lot (walkable, for now)
Harbor Lot is $7/day through November 21 and you walk to the terminals. From November 22 the rate becomes $15/day and shuttle service starts.
Option 3: off-site shuttle lots
Park4Cruise's Orange Lot at 1016 Channelside Dr. starts at $14.99/day with a free shuttle. Rightway partner lots range from $4.99 to $14.99/day, depending on the lot.
