We cruised on Voyager from March 30-April 6; Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, Cozumel. Two adults, three kids (16,14,4)

Precruise: Drove to Galveston, staying overnight at the Commodore on the seawall. Because there are two large ships sailing on Sundays, it's hard to get a good room rate. I think people would prefer to stay at the Harbor House, but it has a two-night guarantee. However, staying along the seawall is fine. We attended Mass and drove to the EZ Park by 11 a.m. Sunday.

Embarkation: Went smoothly. Dropped off family and luggage, parked and took a shuttle back. The ship started loading a little after 11 a.m. and we were on by 11:30. Read more
