424.0. "Cruises out of Tampa" by ROYALT::NERI () Fri Feb 05 1993 09:28

    Hi, 
    
    I read in one of the notes of cruises going to the Western Caribbean
    out of Tampa.  Does anyone have any info on this.  Like whate cruise
    line.  I think we'd like a 3 night 4 day one.  
    
    Thanks

424.1Regency from TampaALIBUT::BLOOMEric S. BloomMon Feb 08 1993 09:204
    Regency has cruises from Tampa.  We're leaving Saturday for a week.
    I don't know about shorter cruises.  You might check with a travel
    agent.  The Regency ships are older, and not as glitzy as some of the
    newer ones, but a good value.
424.2Holland America out of TampaDV780::DAVIDThu Feb 11 1993 11:044
    Holland America also has a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise that leaves
    out of Tampa.  They have some great deals available this fall if you
    book by Feb. 28.  Try Colorado Discount Cruises for details

424.32, 5 and 7 night Regency cruisesLEDDEV::CULLISONWed Mar 24 1993 11:0417
    I believe Regency added another ship which runs 2 and 5 night cruises
    from Tampa. As the previous note said Regency uses older ships. They
    lease their ships from a Greek Shipping line I believe. Basically
    they provide a very similar cruise to other lines but not at the
    same level as RCCL, NCL etc. but still reasonable. Usually they
    have such good deals they can be a real bargain. Many times a 7
    day cruise with air for about the price of a 4 day cruise. Some deals
    as low as $800/per person including air plus port charges. I been
    on 2 Regency cruises and 6 others. The do maintain the ships well.
    I enjoyed both of my Regency cruises, I do not suggest cruises
    out of Jamaica however, the cruise itself is fine but the process
    of going in and out of Jamaica is the pits compared to Miami or Tampa.
    The crowd on Regency will probably be older, but there are enough
    younger people to have fun.
