“Heroes Sail Free” On Cruise Out Of Tampa

Author Marija

Going on vacation is always nice, but even better when it’s free and “Heroes Sail Free” on a cruise out of Tampa.

I absolutely love to travel. But let’s face it, it can get expensive. Whether you’re taking a road trip and paying for gas and hotels or flying somewhere and factoring in the price of airfare, it certainly can add up quick. Cruising is a great way to see the world, and the fact that there are so many ports just a few hours drive from us here in Fort Myers, is a great bonus.

I just booked a 2-night Bahamas cruise for myself on Margaritaville at Sea in April and found a great deal. With taxes, port fees and Wi-Fi it was only $153 and seeing that food is included, for what I paid, I can’t even stay in a hotel for that. So if you look, you can find a way to do it on the cheap. Plus, getting out of the country for a few days is always nice.

“Heroes Sail Free” On Cruise Out Of Tampa

Margaritaville at Sea will soon begin sailing out of Tampa. Heroes will be able to sail free with a paying guest. Heroes include teachers, first responders, law enforcement, military members, veterans and health care workers. The unlimited cruises will start in June and sail from Port Tampa Bay to Key West and Mexico on both the Paradise and Islander ships. Also included is 1 free express pass that includes priority boarding and debarkation and 2 complimentary drinks.

7 Of US News "25 Best Hotels in the USA" Are In Florida

  • Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, Surfside, Florida

    The Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club in Surfside, Florida. A legendary Miami Beach-area hotel that offers guests stellar service and unique experiences at its world-class spa ranks No. 2. Now keep in mind, we are in full season here in Florida. These are going to be some of the most expensive rates of the year. That being said, I found an oceanfront room on booking.com for $2,720 a night. That view is incredible.

  • Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort

    Always mentioned as one of the best hotels in the country, this Orlando resort takes the number 7 spot. Perhaps what’s bringing it down a notch is the construction of a residential development nearby. I did see a “construction discount” on the price, so they’re definitely aware of it. It’s still a Four Seasons hotel, and it’s still amazing.

  • Faena Hotel Miami Beach

    Rounding out the top 10 of the list is the Faena Hotel. US News states “Rooms are decorated in a modern, South American style and come outfitted with sleek wooden furnishings and colorful accents.” I did find a room for $1,140 a night, but spring for the extra and get the ocean view and a balcony. Because of the hotel’s location, rates will also fluctuate based on events in the area. 

  • The Setai Miami Beach

    The Setai Miami Beach finds itself at number 11 on the list. If you enjoy the water, you’re in luck. The hotel is not just on Miami Beach, but boasts three on-site infinity pools. I did find a room for $1,080 a night, but expect double that rate if you want the ocean view. This is the ocean view.

  • The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort

    Down a few spots, to number 17, is The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort. This resort, 10 miles north of South Beach has amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean. And being a Marriott hotel, likely boast some of the cool tech like the W South Beach has like automated controls of the lights, blinds, and thermostat. Best price I could find was $1,299 a night but if you know someone who works for Marriott, ask them about the hotel’s “friends and family” discount. 

  • The Breakers Palm Beach

    Finishing up their top 25 list, at number 25, is The Breakers Palm Beach, an Italian Renaissance-style resort on the coast. if you’re looking for an active stay, this is where you’ll find it. Two golf courses, four pools, and 10 Har-Tru tennis courts. If you’d rather relax, they have a private beach. So, if you want a top notch resort hotel on the Atlantic, but don’t want Miami, here it is. There’s also a lot of history, here. I did see Booking.com have a room for $1,290 a night. But again, I’m writing this in February, when rates are usually the highest. 

    The full list of 25 can be found here.
