Port of Tampa Questions (Temporary luggage drop)

[PC GUY]

Hello, I will be travelling with a party of 7 on the Carnival Legend May 17-24.

We will fly down the day before and home the day after. I have a few hotels in mind that have a complementary shuttle from the hotel to the cruise port or airport. Since we cant check into the hotel until 3:00 pm, is there any place near the port we can drop our luggage for a few hours? Renting a 7 passanger mini van will fit the people but not their luggage.

Thank You

The hotel perhaps? I guess it depends on the hotel but we've left our luggage with the concierge when it was too early to check-in.

Dave is right. Most hotels will let you check your luggage in if they will not let you check in at that time. The smaller hotels tend to let you check in anytime if they have a room available. I know I have been able to check in at 10 am when flying in early becuase they had rooms all ready. Check with the hotels. You might want to make your choice based on the ones that are more accomodating to your needs.
