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
