Additional details

Sail Date: Sep 2006

I sailed with a group of 9 on the 9/3 sailing of the Conquest out of Galveston. Most of our group was driving down from the DFW area on Saturday, and two people flew directly into Hobby Airport with one of us picked them up Saturday afternoon. All but two of us were first-time cruisers, and we are all in the 30-40 yr range.

We had issues finding an inexpensive motel to stay at the night before, and I assume that was because the number of rooms we required and the fact that it was Labor Day weekend. Everyone in the group wanted to complete most of the trip on Saturday just in case we had to deal with any unexpected issues, so we eventually found a place in League City, which is about halfway between Houston and Galveston. We stayed at the Days Inn - nothing special, but it served its purpose for what we needed and allowed some time for the Kemah Boardwalk Saturday night.

Sunday morning we woke up and were on the road by around 9:40 am with our group split up in two trucks. We were at the pier within about 30 minutes, and unloaded all the passengers and luggage. We got the trucks squared away at EZ Cruise while everyone else took care of the porters and all of the many, many suitcases. EZ Cruise was no more than a five minute walk from the pier, and since the bags were already there it was easy to just walk back rather than wait for the shuttle.
