Creator's Key Takeaways

number one there's no public transportation from the airports we're talking no train or public bus service

number two the car is King many of your fellow Cruise passengers are coming by car thus there are parking options Galore

number three the sidewalks will be rough on your suitcase the sidewalks are uneven Cobblestone which sometimes drop off sharply

by the way Lyft is the only ride share operator authorized for the port if you use Uber the closest pickup Point seems to be the Galveston Railroad Museum

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use Uber, taxis, or cruise company shuttles from Houston airports, as there is no public transportation.
✓Consider parking at the port or nearby hotels if you have a car.
✓Use 25th Street to enter terminals 25 and 28, and be cautious of uneven sidewalks and curbs.
✓Only use Lyft for rideshare at the port; Uber pickup is at the Galveston Railroad Museum.
✓Store luggage at the Cruise Stop across from the Railway Museum if needed.
