Sail Date: Feb 2005

Arrival: We got in a day early and stayed at the Marriott in the BUSH (IAH) Airport. The rooms are nice and quiet. The help was very good and we even had dinner in the upper circle restaurant. The food was very good for what we were thinking. Steak and Fish was cooked to perfection.

Day 1 of the Cruise - Galveston First thing I have to say is that thanks to L.J. at the Texas Cruise Ship Shuttle (281-443-4430) we had the most fun in an hour drive ever in my life. L.J. can tell you everything about Houston and then some. He also took us around Galveston as well. We had a very nice van with plenty of windows to look out. We talked like we were long lost friends. What a way to start a cruise! We were laughing and feeling so good. He is much cheaper than the cruise lines bus, he made the trip wonderful and we had not even got on the ship yet. If you are doing a cruise in Houston or Galveston, L.J. is your man to call!

Well now comes the fun part. There was 3 ships in port at once. What a disaster but thanks again to L.J. our driver, even after showing us around Galveston to see some of the beautiful homes there, he got us within 50 ft of the terminal building. The line to get next to the terminal building was backed up for miles. After boarding we talked to our table mates who spent 2 hours in line to get finally onto the ship. But LJ was right on top of it and helped us right off the van. We did have to walk 50 ft to get to the building with all our luggage but this allowed us to get on the boat and walk around hours before many others. L J was our man of the hour. He even called us an hour later, after we had already got on board and was relaxing eating lunch to make sure everything was fine.
