I researched everything about this cruise before we left. Hours and hours of research. So, now that we have concluded our cruise (returned today), I wanted to give you all those details and information while it's still fresh in my mind. Would I personally go on this cruise again? Absolutely not.
Where do I start........
Parking is a little bit of a pain, probably depending on when you arrive. We didn't get there until around noon and the street in front of the cruise terminal was at a crawl. Book your parking early!! I waited and most lots were full. However, we went with the actual Port of Galveston parking (indoor garage) and it was perfect. It was right across the street so we could just walk and didn't have to deal with a shuttle bus. It was $105, and by booking online, you save $5 so it was $100.
We had 2 balcony rooms (6240 and 6244). The locations were great. Basically right above Sorrento's pizza which the kids loved. The rooms were also near the stairs/ elevators, but quiet. One was a larger balcony room (6240) and the other had 2 twin beds and a pullman bed. The rooms are OLD and OUTDATED. Nothing special at all. Our cabin steward was awesome though (Bryan). There is quite a bit of storage. They provide a shampoo/ body wash, but I would suggest bring your own shampoo/ conditioner. They do provide soap bars as well. There is a hair dryer, although I brought my own. No robes. The room A/C worked great. We slept so well! The button for the Speaker to hear announcements in the stateroom was broken. The TV "sometimes" worked. It reminded me of a very very old Holiday Inn.
