Galveston Cruise Reviews

The city was terrible. There was a lot of crime in the areas around the port, and guides from there on our way down had nothing but bad things to say about things that have happened there recently. We picked Galveston to sail from due to the history and the ghost stories from the local hotels and area. Transportation to Galveston from Houston is challenging to find and it is very expensive. ...

Went to Hard Rock beach break. Ok. Terrible food with excursion ticket. ...

Get there kinda early and walk around the shops and eat and the Fisherman's Wharf. Their food was amazing. ...

The porters are very friendly and helpful. The process was a little hectic. We purchased Faster To The Fun which I would suggest as I believe it cut down on the amount of time spent waiting. My grandmother has trouble walking and uses a walker and I wish we would have taken them up on the offer for a wheel chair. It is a very long walk. ...

We had a cruise line provided bus from our hotel in Houston. Everything was easy when we got to the pier and we onboard the ship in a remarkably short time. ...

We prefer embarkation at Galveston over others we've used. ...

The port looks a little worse for the wear, but it was quick, efficient, and generally clean. ...

All bus drivers and tour guides were really nice, informative, and great to be around. They were conscious of time and made sure we made it from Point A to Point B safely. My only complaint on the excursions was the crowds. There were too many people around to allow you to participate in the events. ...

Hilton Island Resort - ate at the Rainforest Cafe and had great time. ...

We had FTTF, to boarding and offboarding was fast. Finding a parking spot on arrival day was difficult, again, because the place was packed. We used the Galvestor port parking. However, on departure day, we did find our car and leave quickly. ...
