GALVESTON CRUISE PORT! | Watch Before Cruising | Airports, Cruise Parking, Hotels and More! 🛳️

[@bethdavis6863]

For those willing to put in the research, Galveston also has hotels that allow you to park for the duration of your cruise and offer shuttle service to and from port. I find that the best option for avoiding the stress and traffic!

[@eddieread9813]

Extremely thorough video. This has helped prepare us for our upcoming trip next week. One question I have that I can't seem to get answered is whether the scootaround location is inside or outside the terminal drop off area? Thanks again for all the information.

[@GabbyChristin09]

Hi @eddieread9813 thank you for watching and the comment! I hope you have a wonderful trip! 🛳️☀️ I’m not 100% sure where they can drop off the mobility scooter at the pier. I checked the website and it states the following; “Scootaround can arrange a Galveston scooter rental or wheelchair rental for you and your family. A mobility scooter rental can help make your trip more pleasant, productive, and worry-free. We’ll deliver the scooter or wheelchair directly to your hotel, Airbnb, residence, or cruise ship port, wherever you are in the Galveston area. Our equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized prior to each rental. When placing the order, you’ll be asked to select a drop-off and pick-up time that works with your schedule. We offer free delivery to cruise ships and the Port of Galveston. There may be a delivery fee for non-cruise rentals delivered to Galveston Island. When the rental is complete, we’ll pick up the device from wherever you were asked to leave it, whether that’s the hotel front desk or cruise port.” I have an inquiry out to the company about your question and once I hear back I can follow back up with you.

@@eddieread9813 scootaround quickly responded back and stated the following “Each cruise line has their own specific rules for pick up and return at each port. I will be able to give you an accurate answer if you are able to provide the cruise line.” I’d recommend reaching out to them directly and they can provide you with additional details.

[@eddieread9813]

@@GabbyChristin09 Hello Gabby, thanks for the additional information. FIL was the one to contact Scootaround when placing the booking. From what we were told he didn't give us a defined time to pick up, just that it would be there upon arrival. We will be in Galveston fairly early Saturday, hopefully depending on traffic for our trip on the Jubilee this Saturday. We have an early pick up in Houston from our hotel so hopeful we will be at the port around 9:00 a.m or so. This should give us time to figure it out before our 10:30 check in time. Thanks for the help and information.

There are also a large number of hotels within 30 minutes or less including in Webster, Texas City and Clear Lake.

[@2noelle]

Very good information about Galveston, especially for people cruising out of Galveston for the first time. I'm surprised you did't mention Harbor House, the sister property of Tremont House.

[@GabbyChristin09]

Thank you @2noelle! That’s a very good point. Thank you for bringing up this great option and it’s within a very close vicinity to the cruise terminals. ❤️ 😀

[@billmurrell6271]

Did not cover pier 10 terminal or parking

[@GabbyChristin09]

I’ll add that to a future video when I venture over to Galveston again. We haven’t sailed out of Pier 10 yet. Hoping to in the future.

[@Tina2tu]

Excellent video! I haven’t cruised out of Galveston since 2019. This is great for my next cruise!

Concerning pier 25/28 and traffic flow to drop off your luggage to a porter, in Aug 2024, we noticed they had changed the traffic flow by 180 degrees from whet we had experienced earlier in the year and previous years. Just be aware.

[@GabbyChristin09]

Great feedback! Thanks for sharing and helping us know what to expect. 👍

[@jofromWI]

Houston - visit Rudy’s BBQ and Cavenders cowboy store (so much good stuff there)

[@GabbyChristin09]

@@jofromWI good recommendations! There is a Rudy’s and Cavenders on I-45 in Webster on the way to Galveston. El Tiempo is also a great stop for Mexican food.

[@texasdustfart]

We live in Texas and drive to Galveston, we have found it to our advantage to drive in a day early, get a hotel that's not on the island like Texas City, then drive into Galveston the morning of our cruise. We used the "High and Dry Indoor Cruise Parking Garage" and was very pleased with it. Great video, thanks for letting me remanence.

[@GabbyChristin09]

@@texasdustfart thanks for the comment and great tips! Webster, Clear Lake, and Kemah have a ton of hotels, activities and restaurants and it’s in close proximity to Galveston.

Did I miss the Royal Caribbean pier and parking?

[@GabbyChristin09]

Hi Dan! No you did not. I learned about Royal’s new Cruise pier while I was editing the video after I recorded the footage. While we were in Galveston I was unaware of the new pier. When I head back to Galveston I’ll make sure it’s to grab footage.

[@danm6695]

@@GabbyChristin09 awesome! Looking forward to it. Thank you.

[@kaydickey9239]

​@@GabbyChristin09 looking forward to it as well. We're staying on the island across from the Pier.
