Mariner of the Seas - Jan27-Feb03 - the same sailing as The Paula Deen group.
Shuttle from IAH to/from Galveston - Vista Shuttles LLC -- we chose this one because of the great round trip price and payment is to driver at end of each trip. We paid $47/pp ROUND TRIP with TIP included (RC charges $47/pp/one way). Mario offers excellent service. All emails were promptly/clearly replied to. Shuttle always on time. Van looks new/very clean.
Galveston - there are two areas of interest (Seawall and Strand) on opposite sides of the island.
