The Port of Tampa Bay is unbelievably organized and is perhaps the best place to board/disembark from a cruise ship anywhere. They operate on a staggered boarding process where you claim a time to board days before you leave and are well-staffed and clean. My group of 15 and I were very content with our experience here in mid-March 2026. We had a 10:30am boarding time reserved. Disembarkment is a bit more unorganized than boarding - it ended up being a bit more "open world" vs "linear" getting outta there if we are speaking in video game terminology. Nonetheless, the Port of Tampa Bay is a well-oiled machine and I wouldn't mind if I needed to go through here on any future cruises.

Driver: Bobby Bus:7145…read moreHouston to Austin 4:30 pm bus Extremely Disappointing Experience Our driver, Bobby, was unprofessional and unnecessarily rude. It appears his frustration stems from vehicles briefly stopping behind his parked bus to drop off or pick up passengers. That's understandable--but there's a professional way to address people. My daughter, who is eight months pregnant and considered high-risk, insisted on taking me to my pickup. After we located the bus and set down my luggage, Bobby came storming down the steps to chastise her for parking momentarily behind his vehicle. His tone was loud, condescending, and completely uncalled for. Knowing my daughter's emotional state and wanting to defuse the situation, I calmly told her to move the car--essentially doing what Bobby wanted, just without the hostility. That seemed to upset him even more. My daughter drove off in tears, confused by how aggressively she'd been spoken to. Though Bobby later attempted to apologize, I declined to engage. His concerns could have been addressed directly with me, her mother, without the unnecessary confrontation. To make matters worse, his driving was erratic, and several seatbelts--including mine--were broken. Instead of berating pregnant women, Bobby would do well to focus on the things he can control: driving safely and maintaining a functional bus.

This is a lie and I am not crazy I hope :) There were quite a few other very concerned people waiting for the same bus. I would NOT recommend this company to anybody.

We took the #5 bus straight to Busch Gardens and saved a bundle on parking! It was a 30 minute ride in air conditioned comfort. We did have an issue where our Flamingo veteran's pass did not work and the customer service had a handprinted sign "Be back soon" and we waited, but finally had to catch the bus. Another person in line was in the same boat. One young man eventually did get help adding money to his pass, but by then our bus was leaving! His bike was already loaded on our bus, so I alerted the driver and he stopped and waited a few seconds, just enough for the young man to run over and board. When we got back five hours later the same sign was up and again we waited but no one came back soon. Lots of disappointed folks like us that day. Behind the building a woman in her transit uniform was talking on her phone. I wondered if she was the one taking so many long breaks?

But I wouldn't recommend traveling by train if you are alone, especially if the travel times are not convenient. I traveled from Tampa to Jacksonville on a Sunday evening. The train arrived about 40 minutes late, and because the station is under construction, everyone was lined up at the platform in Florida heat at that time. Not fun. Not enough seating for everyone at the platform. There are no seat reservations for standard seats on this train. If you are traveling in a group, the porters will make sure you are seated together. But if you are traveling alone, you will be at the mercy of chance, and I lost that gamble during the trip. I spent my journey uncomfortable and stressed out. There is a cafe, but I did not go there. I didn't feel comfortable leaving my work computer at my seat unattended, and I didn't want to have to heft my computer bag and purse all the way to the dining car. Thankfully, I had packed a snack, so that sustained me for the 6+ hour journey. There's wifi, but it was not great, and my phone kept switching to using the 5G. The bathroom was pretty foul. I limited my water consumption to avoid using it, but I could smell it from my seat. We started 40 minutes late, but by the time we got to Jacksonville, we were more than an hour behind schedule. That meant I got to Jacksonville after 11pm, which wasn't great as a single female traveler. My employer is headquartered in Jacksonville, and there's no direct flight from Tampa. But based on my experience, I do not think the train is an option. I will have to drive the next time.

What impressed me most was Victor's empathy, care and sensitivity to our situation ensuring a smooth trip. Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was completed efficiently and to a very high standard. The service was reliable, timely, and exceeded my expectations.

We had to figure out airport-to-hotel transportation on our own since she was arriving at a different time from her teammates. In researching Tampa car services, I called 1st Class first since they are the only one with numerous reviews that are all 5-star. The owner, Victor, immediately put my mind at ease with the professionalism and kindness in our conversation. He took on the pick up himself even though he had an early start the next morning and my daughter's flight was delayed numerous times, arriving later than expected in the evening. Victor even walked in to great her at the airport, help her with luggage, texted us updates, and walked her into the hotel to make sure she was with her team. For me, this is just a totally unexpected level of service and care. Oh, and to top it off, he would not let me tip him additionally after the drop-off. I travel a lot for work and wish every car service operated like 1st Class.
