Creator's Key Takeaways

We just boarded the Regal Princess in Galveastston. So I have got information that you absolutely have to know if you are ever going to take a cruise out of Galveastston.

The other thing that it's important to know is when you get out of your Uber, off your shuttle, whatever it is, turn in your luggage right then to the porters who are there.

This completely took me by surprise. Now mind you, I pay attention to signs. I read signs when there are signs.

The really big difference that I am noticing are there are no beverages. You cannot order a beverage from the basically the room service or Ocean now menu.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Drop off your luggage right away to porters at embarkation.
Sign up for a wheelchair at embarkation if mobility is a problem.
Drink your Diet Coke before you get in the security line.
Plan extra time in Galveston as it is a destination worth visiting.
