The staff members were polite and helpful. While waiting for the shuttle van I was able to use the washroom. Upon return to the port at the end of our cruise I called the 1-800 number that I had been given and was told that the shuttle van would be arriving in 7 mins. It arrived in 6 mins. The driver was pleasant and polite and drove us to the location downtown where my truck had already been delivered to. The service was excellent and very efficient. Well done!

Great Service with 241

Posted On April 14, 2024

We used Book2Park and 241 Parking for the 1st time on our recent cruise. The service was excellent. They parked our car, loaded the luggage and helped us into the shuttle bus. A very short ride to the cruise terminal plus instructions for pick up after our cruise. The 241 shuttle was waiting for us at the end of our cruise. They again loaded the luggage for us. It was only about a block to where our vehicle was now parked, waiting for us. It couldn't have been faster or easier. Note: when we made the parking reservation, they had our reservation beginning at 11 p.m. on the day of our cruise. I contacted them to explain that a reservation for 11 p.m. is not possible when we board the ship at 11 a.m. They changed the reservation to 11 a.m. even though we were to be on board by 11 a.m. It all worked out fine. The total cost was good and the service was great. We will book with 241 again for our 2025 cruise out of Tampa.

Service was good as advertised. We arrived and had a shuttle waiting to take us to the port and had our pick up 15 minutes after calling. Would definitely use again.

Nicole Phanstiel

Free shuttle. Good price.

Posted On March 25, 2024

Lot was dusty and they did not have EV charging. But, it was worth the price. A lot cheaper than the port parking fees. Friendly attendees and shuttle driver. Shuttle took a while to pick us up when we returned.

Closest parking to the Port of Tampa! Shuttle was fast and efficient! My car was dropped off at the lot down the street and picked up at the lot across the street from the pier! You can walk or wait for the shuttle , whichever is easier for you.

2024 Guide to Cruise Parking at Port Tampa Bay

Table of Contents

Introduction

This is a complete guide to Port Tampa Bay Cruise Parking for Carnival, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity Cruise lines.

Port Tampa Bay Cruise Parking – The 3 available options:

• SHIP-SIDE PARKING AT Port Tampa Bay 
• COMMERCIAL OFF-SITE PARKING (private lots near the Port)
• HOTEL PARKING

NOTE: If you arrive in the area on the morning of your cruise then you cannot park at a hotel. 

What is best for some may not work for others so ultimately you have to pick what fits your budget and needs!

Port Tampa Bay Cruise Terminal and Area Map

Here is a detailed map of the Port Tampa Bay Cruise Ship terminals and parking lots for passengers. You will find accurate locations of:

• Cruise Hotels

Port Tampa Bay Parking Ship-side: The most convenient and expensive option

Here is a map of the cruise terminals and parking garages/lots at Port Tampa Bay.

Officially the parking lots/garages open early for entry. In reality, if you arrive before 9 am then you have to deal with vehicles slowly departing the current cruise meaning you may not get a spot near the ships or elevators (yet)!

• You drive up to the cruise terminal, drop your family and/or luggage at the porters, then
• Drive around to park your vehicle in the garage (terminals 2 and 3) or open parking lot (terminal 6), and
• Walk back to meet your family.
• Valet parking is available at extra cost and is recommended if you have trouble walking.

No hassles and no waiting on shuttle buses especially after your cruise when the family is tired and grumpy!

TIP – Please know there are many attendants ready to direct you when you arrive at the cruise terminal. DO NOT BE WORRIED about a thing! Just get yourself to the correct terminal and the attendants will show you where to drop your luggage, where to park, how to pay, etc .

This convenience is not cheap ($15 per day – you must include your departure and arrival days). Credit cards only. Attendants are available in case you need assistance.

3-NIGHT CRUISE – $45 4-NIGHT CRUISE – $60 5-NIGHT CRUISE – $75 6-NIGHT CRUISE – $90 7-NIGHT CRUISE – $105 8-NIGHT CRUISE – $120

Oversized vehicles such as RVs must park in open-surface lots nearby. Special rates apply.

You can reserve and prepay for parking online – there is a $5 convenience fee. Simply pick your cruise ship and date on the Port Website and complete the booking process in just a few minutes! You will then receive a bar code via email that will be scanned by an attendant when you arrive. You may or may not be handed a parking sign to place on your dashboard.

For the latest information please visit the Official Port Tampa Bay website

The Official Parking Garage

There are two official Port Tampa Bay parking areas –

• Surface Lot at Terminal 6
• Multi-level Garage across from Terminals 2 and 3

Both are managed by The Car Park with properties nationwide.

Note the entrance to the Garage. It is at the northern end of the building at 810 Channelside Drive as shown in the photo below. It is best to approach the entrance from the north because turning right is easier than making a left across oncoming traffic.

The maximum height of the parking garage is 8’2″ as shown in the photo below.

The parking garage has 6 floors. There is an ATM on the ground floor. Be careful when crossing Channelside Dr. It is a very busy road at times.

Terminal 2 – Royal Caribbean

It gets very busy at the entrance to Terminal 2 because the location is in the middle of several Downtown attractions. It is best to approach the entrance from the south along Channelside Dr so you can turn right into the Terminal. Coming from the north is frustrating because you have to turn left facing endless oncoming traffic.

• Set your GPS to 651 Channelside Drive, Tampa.
• Try to approach from the South (drive north along Channelside Dr)
• Turn right into the Terminal then keep left towards the luggage handlers/valet and drop your luggage/passengers. If you paid for valet parking your job is done! Otherwise,
• Drive out and veer left and around to return to Channelside Dr.
• Turn right on Channelside Dr and get in the left lane to turn left into the Parking Garage.
• Attendants will assist you at the pay stations.
• You continue to drive higher until you find a place to park.
• You then take the stairs or elevator down to busy Channelside Dr, cross the street to meet up with your family and enter the main building where you clear security.

Terminal 3 – Carnival, Norwegian

Terminal 3 is easier to navigate than Terminal 2 because there is less traffic further north along Channelside Dr.

• Set your GPS to 815 Channelside Drive, Tampa.
• At the traffic light, turn onto E York Street towards Terminal 3 and then take the first right.
• Veer left towards the Terminal and find the luggage handlers/valet. Drop your luggage/passengers. If you paid for valet parking your job is done! Otherwise,
• Drive out and turn left to E York St and left again at the traffic light on Channelside Dr.
• Drive south on Channelside Dr in the right lane to turn right into the Parking Garage.
• You then take the stairs or elevator down to busy Channelside Dr, cross the street and walk back to Terminal 3 to meet up with your family, and enter the main building where you clear security.

Terminal 6 – Celebrity, Royal Caribbean

Terminal 6 has a surface parking lot adjacent to the terminal building.

• Set your GPS to 1331 McKay Street, Tampa.
• At the traffic light, turn onto McKay St towards Terminal 6 and then take the first right.
• Veer left towards the Terminal and look for the luggage handlers/valet. Drop your luggage/passengers. If you paid for valet parking your job is done! Otherwise,
• Drive out and turn left to McKay St and left again into the surface parking lot.
• You then walk back to Terminal 6 to meet up with your family and enter the main building where you clear security.

Port Tampa Bay Parking Off-site Near the Port – Shuttle bus services at a lower cost

There are six commercial off-site Port Tampa Bay parking options – shown on my map above.   Some are booking agents – online companies that offer parking via discounted contracts with local hotels and parking partners.

If you drive up on the day of your cruise looking for discounted parking, off-site parking will save you money. You will use a shuttle bus to and from the cruise terminals – it is not as convenient as ship-side parking – but cheaper!

If you stayed at a hotel you will most likely park your vehicle at the hotel for the duration of your cruise. Generally speaking, the hotel security is not as good as the fenced & gated off-site parking facilities. So you have to consider more than just cost when comparing your parking options.

Booking Agents

When you search online for cruise parking at Port Tampa Bay, you will see ads for several booking agents. These online agents don’t own parking lots (or transport vans in most cases). Instead, they have agreements with local hotels, parking facilities, and transport companies to sell parking spaces/transfers online – often at a discount to the consumer.

They change partners and rates quite often and it is hard to keep up with their parking options! Please visit their respective websites for the latest choices.

How safe is it to book parking with agents instead of booking directly with a parking facility? Agents come and go and change names and partners all the time. So it is impossible to generalize but you should be OK with established agents. Just know that you are not dealing directly with a parking facility/operator. Should something go wrong, you cannot address the problem in person at a parking facility. You must deal with an online agent who may be thousands of miles away from Tampa!

Rightway Parking – A nationwide agency with parking partners at many airports and cruise ports. At Port Tampa Bay, they offer several parking options, including hotel parking.

Park Connect – A local agency with good deals for cruise parking near Port Tampa Bay. They offer nearby parking garages at a lower cost than booking direct.

Parking Cost Comparison:

Always check the websites for the latest pricing because they change often. Book online for the best rates :

Ship-side parking  for 8 days – 7-night cruise –  $110 

• 241 Car Services . $8.99 per day + taxes + booking fee = $74.65 for 8 days.
• Park4Cruise . $10.50 + taxes + booking fee = $83.03 for 8 days.
• Rightway Parking – Hampton $12.99 per day + taxes + booking fee = $119.99 for 8 days.
• Rightway Parking – 26th St . $6.99 per day + taxes + booking fee = $70.21 for 8 days.
• Rightway Parking – Channelside . $9.99 per day + taxes + booking fee = $97.78 for 8 days.
• Rightway Parking – 1063 Channelside . $7.99 per day + taxes + booking fee = $85.57 for 8 days.
• Rightway Parking – Union Station . $4.99 per day + taxes + booking fee = $51.04 for 8 days.
• Park Connect . $75.25 for 8 days.

Location considerations for off-site parking:

• 241 Car Services   – Two locations. The main lot is a short distance to the north of Terminal 6 across the road at 1236 Channelside Dr. There is a small lot behind the Port Parking Garage at 223 South 12th Street. You must leave your keys at both locations because they squeeze the vehicles into the lot spaces. Security gate at the Channelside lot only. Shuttles available.

• Park4Cruise – Across the road from Terminal 6 at 1016 Channelside Dr. Security gate. Shuttles available.

• Rightway Parking – 5 lots with free shuttle service. The lot near Union Station is the least used. No security gate. The 26th St lot near Ikea is the largest and cheapest. Security gate. The busiest lot is across the road from Terminal 3. Security gate. The 1063 lot across the road from Terminal 6 is small with no security gate. If you want a parking garage, I strongly suggest the garage connected to the Hampton Inn / Home 2 just a few blocks away. This lot is expensive.

• Park Connect – A local discount parking agent. They use garages within a block of the cruise terminals. Garage directions are emailed upon booking. No shuttle services – you can walk to the terminals.

Port Tampa Bay Parking At Hotels Near The Port

We think there are excellent parking deals at some hotels but the negatives often negate the positives!

Please read my article about Hotel Parking near Port Tampa Bay .

TIP – Do not worry about parking until much later in the booking process. First, book the perfect hotel for your family, then start to think about your parking options.

For example, if you have young kids who like pools then pick a hotel with a fun pool design. If you want to watch the cruise ships come and go then pick another. Or do you want to overlook the ocean and beach, or just hope to stay as cheap as possible anywhere within 30 minutes or so from the port ?

Did you know choosing the perfect cruise cabin can greatly enhance your vacation experience? With so many options available, it’s essential to keep in mind a few key factors.

First, consider the location of the cabin. Whether you prioritize easy access, breathtaking views, or a peaceful atmosphere, the right cabin location can make all the difference.

Secondly, setting a realistic budget is crucial. While basic cabins can still provide a great experience, it’s important to factor in additional expenses such as excursions and onboard activities.

Lastly, utilizing space-saving techniques and seeking assistance from a travel professional can help maximize your cabin’s potential.

In this article, I will provide you with valuable tips and insights to help you choose the perfect cruise cabin for your next adventure. So, let’s dive in and ensure you have the most enjoyable and memorable vacation possible.

• The location of the cabin is crucial for the overall cruise experience
• Consider your budget and factor in additional expenses when choosing a cruise cabin
• Different cabin locations offer different features and views, so choose based on your preferences and the destination
• Utilize space-saving techniques and consider seeking assistance from a travel professional for an enhanced experience

Tips for Location

When it comes to choosing the perfect cruise cabin, I always consider the location based on my preferences and needs. Cabin location plays a crucial role in the overall cruise experience.

The first thing I consider is the deck level. If I tend to get seasick, I opt for a cabin on a lower deck and in the middle of the ship, as it minimizes the motion felt. For easy access to various amenities and facilities, a cabin in the central area is a great choice. If I want to enjoy breathtaking views, I go for an upper deck cabin. Aft cabins offer a great view of the ship’s wake, while forward cabins provide a unique perspective of the ship’s direction. Interior-facing cabins are perfect for those who enjoy overlooking public deck areas. It’s also important to note that lower deck cabins may experience engine vibrations.

Depending on the destination, I choose my cabin location accordingly. For example, cabins with prime views of the Na Pali coast in Hawaii or cabins in Alaska for wildlife and glacier sightings are highly recommended. If I plan to transit the Panama Canal, a cabin with a window or better is a must for a memorable experience.

Overall, understanding the different cabin types and their locations is essential for finding the perfect cruise cabin.

Budget Considerations

Considering your budget is an important factor when selecting a cruise room. It is essential to be aware of the various cabin categories available and their corresponding prices.

Higher-end cabins, such as suites or balcony rooms, often come with a higher price tag, while interior cabins tend to be more budget-friendly. However, keep in mind that additional fees may apply, such as gratuities, daily service charges, and specialty dining. These costs can quickly add up, so it’s crucial to factor them into your overall budget.

To make the most of your budget, consider booking in advance and taking advantage of cruise promotions and discounts. Additionally, joining loyalty programs can provide booking discounts, and using a cruise line credit card may offer opportunities for upgrades or onboard credit.

Don’t forget to consider guarantee cabins for potentially lower prices and be open to bidding on upgrades or hoping for a free upgrade. By carefully considering your budget and exploring all available options, you can find the perfect cruise cabin that fits your financial needs.

Utilizing Space and Assistance

To maximize the limited space in smaller staterooms, I find it helpful to utilize space-saving techniques and seek assistance from a travel professional. Space-saving techniques can make a big difference in creating a more comfortable and organized cabin. Some techniques include using collapsible hangers, packing cubes, and over-the-door shoe organizers. These simple tricks can help maximize storage space and keep your belongings easily accessible. Additionally, utilizing the expertise of a travel professional can greatly enhance your cruise experience. They can help with flights, activities, and pricing, ensuring you get the best value for your money. Having a point person for assistance during the trip is also beneficial, especially if any issues arise. While a small service fee may apply, the benefits of using a travel professional far outweigh the cost.

Are there any specific cabins recommended for families traveling with young children?

For families traveling with young children, I recommend choosing cabins with baby amenities like cribs and high chairs. Additionally, cabins with connecting doors are great for easy access between rooms, ensuring everyone stays together.

Can I request a specific cabin location, or is it assigned randomly?

You can request a specific cabin location on a cruise, but it is not guaranteed. Cabin assignments are typically random, but cruise lines try their best to accommodate requests based on availability.

Are there any cabins that offer extra privacy or are more secluded?

Yes, there are cabins that offer extra privacy or are more secluded on certain cruise lines. Some cruise lines offer suites with private balconies or secluded locations on the ship for a more exclusive experience.

Are there any cabins that are closer to the dining areas or entertainment venues?

There are cabins with ocean views and balcony access that are conveniently located near dining areas and entertainment venues. These cabins provide easy access to all the onboard activities and amenities, making your cruise experience even more enjoyable.

Can I bring my own bedding or pillows to make the cabin more comfortable?

Yes, you can bring your own bedding or pillows to make the cabin more comfortable. Many cruise lines allow guests to bring personal items to personalize their cabin. Just make sure to check the specific guidelines of your cruise line before packing.

I've used 241 before. The lot is mostly grass but I was able to park my vehicle on some concrete. It's uncovered but fenced. The 2 guys that were working there were very friendly and helpful.

The Parking Doctors is a well maintained lot with free shuttle service. It's a family owned business and they are highly rated if you search around the web. Follow them on facebook or twitter as they post coupon codes often! You can find their website at www.theparkingdoctors.com. They have an easy to use and secure online reservation system.

First of all, the ticket they give you tells you nothing other than gives you the phone number. we were told when we arrived, that when we are out of the port and ready to leave, to call the number and they will tell us where to meet. Well I did exactly that, and the phone was answered by some rude dismissive guy who sad. "terminal 2". I asked him if the shuttles were on the way, he then dismissively and loudly said "they run every 10 minutes". I didnt really understand what he said and asked him to repeat it, and loudly shouted it into the phone. The guy was a total obnoxious jerkoff.

After seeing one shuttle van full already and leaving, we waited where a security officer said the van will pull up to, 15 minutes later the van comes back (Im assuming they only have one van taking passengers to and from the port) and parks way up away from where the officer said he parks....so everyone was rude and just rushes the van, and piles their stuff on meanwhile we were the first ones waiting before all of them.....pretty angry and POed, I told the guy this, and he basically just ignored me. Luckily, another parking company I guess works with the others, and was able to take us to the parking lot shortly after the incident. Needless to say, parktologists left a really bad taste in my mouth. Not sure I would use them again if I decide to cruise out of tampa again.

Your best bet for service, convenience, security is Channelside parking at 810 Channelside. It's the closest to the port and has a 24 hour staff.

Do you live in the area or did you drive some distance? Thanks-

Seattle Cruise Parking (Where to Park): Prices, Profiles, & Map

Driving in for a cruise from Seattle and not sure where to park? We have all your options below.

If you’re sailing from Seattle, honestly the best option is to have someone drop you off at the port. It’s faster, cheaper, and more convenient than having to park. We know, however, that’s not an option for everyone and thousands of people drive to the port every week to set sail.

That means you’ll need a place to park your car. Unfortunately, with the cruise ports located near downtown Seattle, there aren’t many parking options for you to choose from. ( Seattle park & cruise hotels do offer more choices .)

The lack of competition combined with expensive real estate mean that parking prices are some of the highest in the country. For example, you can spend $30 per day for Seattle cruise parking. That’s much more expensive than popular ports like Miami, Port Canaveral, Galveston, and others.

Still you do have some options to choose from, including traditional lots located near the port, Seattle hotels with free parking, and airport parking.

Below, we cover all your options of where to park for a Seattle cruise.

In This Article...

Official Parking for Port of Seattle (Pier 66 and Pier 91)

The Port of Seattle works with a third-party company to provide parking for cruises from Pier 66 and Pier 91. 

Republic Parking This is the main parking service for the port and the one linked to by the port’s official website. Republic Parking Northwest offers two different parking areas. It has a large lot across the Magnolia Bridge from Pier 91 (shuttle provided to the pier) and a parking garage across Alaskan Way from Pier 66.

Parking costs $30 per day at Pier 66 for regular cars & trucks under 6’6″. Parking costs $29 per day for regular cars/trucks at Pier 91. With both lots you can get a discount of $1 per day if you book online ahead of time. This also reserves your spot.

Oversize vehicles cost $60 per day, but will have to park at the Pier 91 parking lot (you will get a taxi voucher back to Pier 66 if sailing from there). If arriving with an RV, you must reserve online ahead of time to guarantee your space.

Both lots offer 24/7 patrolling security. A skybridge connects the Pier 66 garage to the cruise terminal. There is a shuttle that operates for Pier 91. There are handicap-accessible parking spots available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

As for payment, you can book and pay online ahead of time. At the pier, cash, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are accepted. 

• Cost: $30 per day (Pier 66) | $29 per day (Pier 91)
• Address: 9 Wall Street, Seattle WA, 98121 (Pier 66) | 2001 West Garfield St. Seattle, WA 98119 (Pier 91)
• Website: https://www.cruiseseattleparking.com

Independent Parking Lots

Seattle CruisePark This lot is located just north of Pier 91, very close to the official port parking. Despite its location near this cruise terminal, it serves as parking for both Pier 91 and Pier 66. It’s located about two miles from Pier 66.

Parking costs about $27 per day (priced as $187 for a 7-day cruise), although prices do vary depending on the length of cruise. It is convenient in that there is one price no matter which cruise port you will sail from. There is also free shuttle that will drop you and your luggage off at the port of your choice. 

Limited oversize vehicle parking is available priced at $243 for up to 30 feet (one week) and $286 for up to 40 feet.

There are also two options to park, with a more convenient VIP valet service at no additional charge. With this service you have to leave your keys, but on the plus side you are closer to the shuttle pick-up point.

If headed on a 14-day Alaskan cruise, this is one of your best options. The lot charges $240 for two weeks, or only about $17 per day. That’s a significant discount to parking at the official port parking lots.

• Cost: ~$27 per day (prices vary based on length of trip)
• Address: 1601 West Armory Way, Seattle, WA 98119
• Website: https://www.seattlecruiseparking.com

Seattle Airport Parking Lots

If you’re like us, you might be surprised at the expense of parking your car while you cruise, especially when airport parking is considerably cheaper. We’ve found several airport lots that charge as little as $10-15 per day near the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

It’s tempting to consider these lots as a way to save some cash, but keep in mind the distance between the airport and the cruise port. Any money saved on parking will likely be eaten up by the cost of commuting to your ship . For reference, a tax ride from the airport to the cruise port runs about $40-$55 each way.

By the time you add this amount to the less expensive airport parking lots, it’s a wash with the added hassle of having to commute all the way to the airport to get your car.

Hotels with Cruise Parking

If you are staying in the area, contact your hotel to see if they will allow you to park your car for the length of your cruise. Sometimes you can stay only a single night and be allowed to park for free — or at a discount — for the length of your trip. Fortunately, there are a number of hotels with parking packages, located both near the airport and near the cruise ports.

We have a full list of Seattle hotels with cruise parking here, as well as some suggestions below.

Warwick Seattle Hotel  Sitting just blocks from Pier 66 (and only a couple of miles from Pier 91), the Warwick is one of the few hotels in the downtown area that features a parking package. The hotel’s Park & Cruise package features parking for up to 14 days included with your hotel fare, along with breakfast (although the hotel rate is slightly more for this package). There is also a shuttle available to the cruise port, or an Uber/Lyft would only be a few bucks. (Note: When we checked online, we didn’t see the package available but a call to the hotel told us it is offered.)

Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Seattle Also located in the middle of everything, this hotel is just minutes from the ports. The Four Points offers parking to guests for $20 a day with the option to leave your car as you cruise. That parking rate is about one-third off the rate of the parking at the port.

For a full list of options, see our page here .

Map of Seattle Parking Lot Options

The map below shows the traditional parking lots near cruise terminal. Below, we have more details on each option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there anywhere to park for free for my cruise? Seattle is one of the hottest real estate markets and the ports also sit in a highly developed area. That means available space for parking is at a premium. The only way we know to find free parking is to stay at a hotel that will allow you to leave your car during your cruise. There are a number of hotels with cruise parking , but keep in mind that many will at least charge a small fee to park during your stay. You’ll also usually have to arrange transportation to the cruise port. 

Are there parking discounts for disabled or veteran cruise passengers? Ports in Florida and Texas often offer discounts to disabled passengers or veterans. Unfortunately, we have not seen this sort of discount offered in Seattle. It may come in the future, but isn’t available now that we know about.

Is my car going to be secure?  While there’s always risk in leaving your car unattended anywhere, the lots mentioned above have secured parking with security and/or fencing. We have not heard of passengers having issues with leaving their during their trips.

Where is the free cell phone lot for picking up passengers from pier 91?

What about parking an RV. We plan to drive across the country and need to find a place to park our pickup and trailer.

Yes, that’s available at Pier 91:

“RV/Oversize Vehicle parking is available: $50 per day for anything under 40 ft, $62 per day for all vehicle combinations over 40ft (RV parking MUST be reserved and prepaid on-line to guarantee a space)”

That sounds like one heck of a trip!

Moscow River

Moskva river has the form of a snake and is the main waterway of Moscow, consisting of a cascade of reservoirs. Within the city, Moskva river is 80 km long, 120 m - 200 m wide and up to 14 m deep. The narrowest part of the river is the Kremlin area in the city center, and the most extensive is around the Luzhniki Stadium in the south. 

Bridges in Moscow

Undoubtedly, bridges and embankments are among the most scenic spots and main attractions of Moscow. Plus, they are so romantic.

• Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge –  Great Stone Bridge –  is the main bridge of Moscow . The first stone bridge was constructed here in the 17th century.
• Patriarshy Bridge  is one of the youngest pedestrian bridges, built in 2004. The bridge connects the iconic Christ the Saviour Cathedral with funky Bersenevskaya embankment, extremely popular place among locals for its trendy art galleries, cafes and panoramic views. Patriarshy Bridge used to be a shooting location for ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's New Year speech to the nation.
• Borodinsky Bridge,  erected in honor of the 100th anniversary of the glorious victory in the Battle of Borodino (which every Russian kid knows about), a fierce legendary battle during the Russo-French war of 1812.
• Bagration Bridge  one of the  pedestrian bridges with most picturesque views of the Moskva River with its numerous upper-level observation platforms. The bridge was erected to celebrate the 850th anniversary of Moscow city in 1997.
• Krymsky Bridge  used to be in Top 5 Europe’s longest bridges some 100 years ago. The bridge got its name after the ancient Krymsky ford which Crimean Tartars used to invade Moscow in the 16 th  century.

Embankments of Moscow

Moscow river boats 37 embankments, the most popular being Kremlevskaya, Sofiyskaya, Pushkinskaya, Vorobyovskaya and Kolomenskaya.

You can get the most spectacular views of the Kremlin from  Kremlevskaya and Sofiyskaya embankments.

• Pushkinkaya embankment  is the most romantic in Moscow. It meanders along Gorky Park and Neskuchnyi garden and is rich for all kinds of entertainment as well as cozy nooks, including Olivkovy beach, the famous Zeleny theater as well as a pier for river cruisers.
• Vorobyevskaya embankment  is part of Sparrow Hills nature reserve. This place opens a beautiful panorama of the river and city from the observation deck and is considered to be the place for taking serious decisions in life.
• Embankment in Kolomenskoye  Museum-Reserve has a special charm due to its peculiar geographical relief. The boat trip around Kolomenskoye would be the most peaceful in your life.
• Taras Shevchenko embankment  is popular among photographers for its modern Moscow City skyscrapers. Highly recommended for your night boat trip.
• Embankments of Moscow are the pride of the capital. A distinctive feature of each of the promenades is its architecture and beautiful views. In addition, almost all the embankments of Moscow have a rich history and a lot of notable buildings.

Different epochs

Taking a walk along the Moskva River by boat, you will witness the architecture of Moscow from different eras and styles. Archaeological studies indicate that already in the XI century there stood a fortified settlement on Borovitsky hill, which is now called the Kremlin. Little fortress could not accommodate all the residents of the rapidly growing city, and the Grand Duke ordered the construction of a new Kremlin, larger than the former.

Boat trip around Kolomenskoe Park

Moscow river boat trip starts from the pier Klenovy (Maple) Boulevard and provides reat views of Nicholas Perervinsky monastery.

Nicholas Perervinsky monastery was founded at the time of the Battle of Kulikov (1380). The monastery, got its name from the surrounding area – “Pererva”, which can be translated like “tear off” and because of the location –  here it abruptly changed its course, turning to Kolomna, standing on the opposite bank.

Nowadays Kolomenskoye is State Art, Historical, Architectural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve, which doors are open to everyone who wants to get in touch with the ancient history of Russia.

Take a break from the big city hustle in the shady parks and gardens of the Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve. Don’t miss a wonderful Church of the Ascension and Tsar Alexey’s Palace in Kolomenskoye!

Monasteries and temples

• Novospassky Monastery
• Founded in the 13th century on the site where now is located the Danilovsky monastery. After a few decades, in 1330, Ivan Kalita moved the monastery onto the Borovitskii hill of the Kremlin. However, in the 15th century, Spassky Monastery again moved, this time to a more spacious place on Krasnoholmskaya waterfront.
• Church of St. Nicholas in Zayaitskom
• Erected in the middle of the XVIII century in baroque style. The building survived after the 1812 fire, but the utensils were destoyed. Parishioners collected donations and restored the temple on their own. In Soviet times, it was closed and re-opened only in 1992.
• Cathedral of Christ the Savior
• The church was originally erected in honor of the victory over Napoleon and was being under construction for long 44 years. Notoriously demolished in 1937 to be a giant swimming pool under open sky. The current building was constructed in 1990s. It is the tallest and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world.
• The temple was built in 1679-82, during the reign of Tsar Fedor Alekseevich, in late Muscovite Baroque style and can be characterized as bonfire temple. Each gable is a symbol of a heavenly fire.
• Novodevichy Convent
• The most famous concent and monastery in Moscow, presumably founded in 1524. Novodevichy’s status has always been high among other monasteries, it was in this monastery where the women of the royal blood, the wives of Tsars and local rulers of Moscow were kept in prison as nuns.
• St. Andrew’s church  (male acts as Compound Patriarch of Moscow)
• St. Andrew’s church stands right on the slopes of the Sparrow Hills, on the way down to the Moskva River, on the territory of the Nature Reserve “Sparrow Hills”. The monastery is small in size but is very cozy. It’s situated in a quiet courtyard surrounded by temples, fruit trees and flowers.

Can They Make Me a Moscow Mule?

By starri , May 24, 2017 in Celebrity Cruises

Recommended Posts

Dumb question I know, but I've been wondering this for a while, and I don't think I've seen it answered. Obviously not offered in Vintages, the Martini Bar, or World-Class, but what about at the Sunset Bar or in Michael's?

Also, Pimm's Cup, same question.

Yes to the Pimms in Michael's Club.

I was able to get a Moscow Mule at the World Class Bar on Equinox in December.

Yay! Thanks so much.

Ensemble Lounge or Passport bar (I forget) also offered them on Equinox. They now offer Ginger Beer on the ship which you need for the "mule". :cool:

Vineyardfan

The Martini bar, Sunset bar, Passport bar and Ensemble lounge all normally carry both ginger ale and ginger beer, so you shouldn't have a problem (as long as the bartender is somewhat knowledgeable).

so you shouldn't have a problem (as long as the bartender is somewhat knowledgeable).

I don't know about the knowledgeable part...I asked for a Paralyzer in a few bars on my March 2017 B2B Constellation cruise and they had no idea until I finally found a "knowledgeable" bartender midway thru my second cruise. I also asked for a Pain Killer during my 30 days on the ship and no bartender knew how to make one or the desire to google it.

Lived on these on Solstice last October! The barman in Ensemble Lounge made the best one ever. I would often stop by to get one, or he also worked at the Sunset Bar so also got them there during the day. I know Mast Bar also made them but w're not as good IMO.

Same for us...served in the copper mugs!

We're also on the Solstice. Do you remember his name?

I'm not really going on the cruise to drink, but I need a libation or two in evenings.

If you happen to find yourself on Qsine, they make a mighty fine version of the mule as well.

I've never found anyone to have the crystalised ginger but they still taste great

Can you get one on the classic package? They have become a go to of mine here at home!

midwestchick

What is a Moscow mule? :confused: Never heard of it.

Vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. Usually served in a special copper mug.

Are they good?

On the Solstice now and I've had several in the Passport bar

Never had a problem getting anything if they had the makings, even if you needed to explain how to make it.

I like them because they're not too sweet, and I really love the spiciness of the ginger. I don't really like sweet drinks, but I can do a Pimm's cup because of the cucumber and lemon.

I believe that when ordering more obscure drinks, or something that you might prefer to be made a certain way, you should know the ingredients and be able to communicate that to the bartender. I would not assume a bartender is going to Google a drink recipe. Perhaps a PARALYZER or PAIN KILLER are well known cocktails, but I have never heard of them.

We enjoy a top-shelf margarita made according to a recipe we enjoy at home. A friendly discussion with the bartenders at the Mast Bar and Michael's Club, along with instructions on the proper preparation, got us service with a smile... and a nearly perfect margarita each time.

Enjoy yourself!

The taste depends on the brand of ginger beer. There is Goslings, Bunderberg and Fever Tree to name the brands that they have had on board. Sometimes if you order one they may also use ginger ale. Fever Tree is rare. A 4 pack of 6.8oz bottles at the lowest price is about $5, available at Sur La Table for $8.

As with most drinks if you change the spirit it is a different drink. Use rum instead of vodka and it is a dark and stormy. That is usually made with Goslings Ginger Beer and Goslings rum. I prefer Kraken rum over the Goslings.

Drink up 🍷 🍹 🍺 🍸
