Port of Tampa Crew Member Center

[Kendall James-Vargas]

I'm so excited for the Port of Tampa's new Seafarers Center Outpost crew member center! I would imagine after sharing a room with another crew member and not having much personal time/space; it's really nice to have a space to relax and unwind when off ship. 

The Seafarers Center Outpost will offer crew members free Wi-Fi and a place to receive and send packages with ease. On top of these great amenities, the center will also offer crew medical and legal aid assistance, alongside transportation services and a free clothes closet. It will also have a small convenience store and recreational opportunities. 

I hope all major ports of call follow suit! This is such a much needed and appreciated space.

This Seafarers Center Outpost looks awesome! All of the ports in Florida should offer this sort of service to the cruise staff. Everyone deserves a space to unwind, especially after not having a day off for several days on end. It looks like Port Saint John in Canada has just implemented something similar. The space looks very state-of-the-art!  https://www.cruisehive.com/carnival-royal-caribbean-and-norwegian-crew-get-new-lounge/80266
