Creator's Key Takeaways

number one thing is no drink package till day two what the yeah that's right day two guys can you believe that

the second most important thing I think you should know about cruising out of Galveston is going to be the fog and that causes a lot of Havoc

Galveston is really strict on their Duty fees on tobacco and alcohol they let you have one liter I believe without a charge

we were staying at a hotel that had an amazing parking offer so after we drove around and figured we were gonna have to park way out and pay a hefty price for it we checked with our hotel

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the port a day early to avoid traffic delays
Book parking in advance or use hotel parking with shuttle service
Be aware that drink packages start on day two, not day one
Plan for fog issues, especially in fall, winter, and spring
Know duty fees for alcohol and tobacco to avoid surprises
