I have cruised before but this was the first for the other five people traveling with me. I paid ahead of time for the cruise parking provided by the port. I dropped everyone at the terminal with the luggage and rode a shuttle bus back from the parking lot. Getting on the ship was pretty painless. Outside the terminal was extra busy though because there was a Royal Caribbean ship leaving the same time as us. We arrived at 10 am and were onboard in an hour or so.

Galveston: I don't recommend leaving Galveston during the winter months. We were prepared for a little cold weather until we got out of the gulf and closer to the Caribbean. Unfortunately, about three of our days were ruined by high winds, cold and rain. You literally couldn't go outside on the deck for anything because the crew had it roped off. That issue made for more crowds inside the ship at key locations.

State Rooms: This time we booked interior staterooms. I have stayed in a balcony cabin in the past but never went outside to use the balcony. We decided to save the money and take the interior rooms. Since there was some bad weather on this occasion, it was a good choice. The cabins were sufficient and the cabin stewards excellent. My only complaint was that the drop down bunk in our room kept rattling as the ship moved about. Nothing much could be done about it though.
