First let me start by saying this was a great cruise and I would do it again. Me (34)second cruise, Wife (36) third cruise and DD's (12,15) first cruise for both, We all sailed on the Conquest 8-6-06. My wife and I both sailed on the Elation 4/05.

We drove to Galveston on the Friday before we sailed as we wanted to spend extra time in Galveston. We stayed at the Quality Inn & Suits in Galveston at a great rate $69.95. the hotel was great and had a balcony with an ocean view. I booked this hotel months before which is why I think I got a good rate.
