For anyone cruising from Galveston for the first time.
If you've never sailed from Galveston before, the terminal process is fairly straightforward, but a couple of details are worth knowing ahead of time so nothing catches you off guard.
Galveston has two separate cruise terminals depending on which line you're sailing with. Check your cruise documents for the exact terminal number — we'll confirm it with you at booking so your driver goes to the right one rather than guessing.
We pull directly into the passenger drop-off zone at the terminal entrance — not a remote parking lot you'd have to walk your luggage from. Porters are typically available right there to help get your bags from the curb.
Saturdays in particular can have multiple ships boarding at the same time, which means more traffic in the drop-off zone and longer lines at check-in than you might expect. Building in extra time on those days is worth it.
Same process in reverse — we can meet you at the terminal after disembarkation and get you wherever you're headed next, timed against your actual arrival rather than a fixed pickup window.
