Creator's Key Takeaways

We have used this ship for the last couple of years to get back and forth between the European continent and Texas.

If you're looking for a hotel that will allow you to walk to the cruiseport, Harbor House Hotel is probably your best idea.

Because of that Coast Guard inspection, we did have a little longer wait than we expected, but because we were in that priority group, we really were the first group to board.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Come a day before your cruise departs to take advantage of Galveston.
If flying in the day of departure, get a very early flight or use the cruise ship's airfare service.
Check private parking options as they are often priced better than cruiseport parking.
Use the Medallion service to sail through check-in via the green line.

Flight delays on embarkation dayUse the cruise ship's airfare arrangement service so crews will wait for you if something goes wrong.
Navigating the port areaBe aware that the port is industrial with traffic, train tracks, and buses; getting dropped off is the easiest way.
