Creator's Key Takeaways

It was just over 20 minutes from when we walked into the terminal until we walked onto the ship.

I recommend you prepay for your parking at the garage.

I'd recommend not showing up before 10:30 at the absolute earliest.

It's really simple. You get fed right into the security line.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Prepay for parking to get a discount.
โœ“Follow your assigned check-in time for boarding.
โœ“Park in the north lot next to the Royal Caribbean Terminal for a quicker exit.

Finding the correct terminal and parking โ€” If you can't see your cruise ship, you're probably in the wrong spot or day; follow lanes and signs for parking.
Boarding process timing โ€” Don't show up before 10:30 at the earliest; follow your check-in time.

We were on the first MSC Sailing out of Galveston, which means we got the first look at how the new Terminal 16 will operate. MSC Seascape will be sailing out of Galveston for at least 2 years, with more ships from MSC Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Lines in the plan.
