Parking Information

Quick Tips Before You Arrive

  • Parking is not included with your reservation.
  • We recommend arriving 45-60 minutes before boarding to allow time for traffic and parking.
  • Weekends and event days in Downtown Tampa can be especially busy.
  • If one parking location is full, several additional garages and lots are available nearby.

Best Parking Option (Discount Available)

Channelside Parking Garage: 369 South 12th Street, Tampa, FL 33602

This is the parking option we recommend most often because it is directly across the street from Craft.

Discounted Parking

Craft guests may receive a discounted parking rate at this garage.

To receive this discount:

  • Bring your parking ticket from the machine to the ticket booth before your cruise to receive your discounted rate.
  • If an attendant is present, you may also receive the discount by showing your cruise confirmation upon entry.

Helpful Tips

  • Park on Levels 3 – 5 for easiest access to the elevator nearest Craft.
  • Instead of circling up the garage, break out of the loop at floors 3, 4, or 5. Go towards the parking spots facing the water and use the elevator or stairs to the right side of the garage.
  • If the garage is full, attendants will typically direct guests to nearby overflow parking.
