🚢 Flying to Galveston for your cruise? Before you book your flights, watch this! After our first cruise out of the Galveston Cruise Port aboard Mariner of the Seas, we learned a few things we wish we had known beforehand. In this video, we're sharing exactly what worked, what we'd do again, and a few mistakes you can avoid. ✈️ In this video, we cover: ✅ Houston Hobby (HOU) vs. George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) ✅ Why we recommend arriving a day early ✅ Uber and rideshare costs to Galveston ✅ Royal Caribbean transfer buses ✅ Disembarkation delays and why extra time matters ✅ Why rideshare prices can surge after a cruise ✅ Which transportation option makes the most sense based on your group size For our sailing, Southwest Airlines into Houston Hobby made the trip easy, and overall we found getting to and from Galveston much simpler than we expected. Whether you're cruising with Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Disney, Norwegian, or MSC, we hope these tips help make your vacation a little less stressful. Have you cruised out of Galveston before?
