i stayed at the comfort inn and got the shuttle to the cruise and back to the hotel $8.00 each way check it out online
We stayed at holiday inn in ybor city they have free transport to and from pier
We stayed at Hampton inn near the airport. Used uber to get to the port - under $20.
There is a quality inn Airport-cruise port not far from the port that was very clean and it felt very safe, you can leave your vehicle there with no problem and shuttle to the port...
I really don't know because I drive in and park there the day of the cruise
