I must also hasten to tell you that you can generally find alternative parking near a cruise port.
We recently sailed from New Orleans and found parking two blocks away, which saved us more than $30.
We did the same thing at the Miami Port and saved even more.
I strongly suggest that you search Google or Bing for "Galveston cruise parking" to see which options come up.
Another thing to consider is staying at a hotel overnight and leaving your car there for the duration of the cruise.
Before booking your hotel (from the search below), ask if they have a cruise parking special.
I hope you find an alternative to save you money on parking at the Galveston Cruise Port.
You have two choices in airports for your family cruise vacation from Galveston.
You may choose the nearest airport to the Galveston Cruise Port: Houston Hobby International Airport - about forty-two (42) miles away; or the Houston Intercontinental Airport - about seventy (70) miles away.
Driving from the Hobby Lobby will take about sixty (60) minutes, and about ninety (90) minutes from the Houston Intercontinental.
It is always a great idea to plan to fly into a cruise port area at least one day early.
Arriving early gives you a chance to relax a bit, get to explore your cruise departure city and most importantly give you enough time to get to the cruise ship refreshed.
You may use the search box below to explore available hotels near the Galveston Cruise Port and their prices.
I believe that you are now armed with quite a bit of information to consider Royal Caribbean cruises from Galveston.
I hope to see you soon on the high seas!
