We loved staying overnight before our cruise, only issue that I thought of was there was very little breakfast offered.Small fruit platter in plastic containers,hard boiled eggs,milk,juice,cereal and yogurt.Coffee but has no options for you to make hot tea in the morning. So that could have been better especially since the price is always higher for us cruisers the night before we sail away then goes way down when ships are not in port.

Great pre cruise stay (2 nights)

Great pre cruise place to stay. Literally walking distance to the carnival cruise terminal! Plenty of places to eat nearby. Front desk staff was friendly and offered suggestions for places to eat and visit when asked. Saw dolphins on the pier right outside the hotel. Quiet and comfortable for a two night stay. Worth the extra $ for the convenience.

Our stay at the Harbor House at Pier 21 was great! From the moment we walked in, we knew it was going to be awesome! The staff was kind and responsive and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Room was great and view was great. We had a very nice time.

It’s definitely the place you want if you’re cruising. It’s close enough to shops and restaurants! Only complaint is the price you pay you’d think your parking would be included but it’s not. And a hot breakfast would’ve been nice to be offered. They had bagels, cereal, orange juice and coffee.
