Overall, an enjoyable cruise.
We (my spouse, 15 year old daughter) and I drove to Galveston and parked our car. Galveston still looks damaged from Hurricane Ike and as one of the first post-Ike cruises, it was clear that the City both had a lot of clean up to do and had to work on their parking / traffic control procedures. We (wisely as it turned out) avoided the city / cruise suggested parking and went with a lot just across the street from the Terminal (EZ Cruise Parking - $50 for the 7 days). Fortunately, we have an elevated status with RCCL...it took some folks 4 hours to park their car and get onboard...ship departed 90 minutes late and never made up the time until the last day and returned on time. D1 level cabin was a bit disappointing...turns out that ours was a bit
smaller than normal. Cabin service was okay...again had the wrong age
D1 level cabin was a bit disappointing...turns out that ours was a bit smaller than normal. Cabin service was okay...again had the wrong age for our daughter so she got the wrong Kids' Programme until we straightened that out...and had to ask for the towel animals which we've always enjoyed. We found lots of evidence of previous occupants...nothing gross, but clearly there wasn't much of an effort to get the cabin in tip-top shape.
