Is RCCL Transfers available for Galveston - IAH?

It's getting really confusing.

Some say they used RCCL Transfers from the port to the airport as recently as a couple weeks ago.

Some say there's no more cruiseline transfers available for the port of Galveston, and that they checked it with the RCCL.

We're planning on using the Galveston Limo Service from the airport to the port, because even if something goes wrong, we would have a relatively comfortable way to spend the waiting time at the airport with two little kids. But on the way back from the port to the airport, I'd really like to have more control because I don't fancy waiting outside the terminal for hours if luck is not on our side. (One Yelp reviewer casually mentioned waiting two hours out in the heat...)

Is there anybody who could give me a definitive answer? Thanks in advance.

Yes, there are RCL transfers available both from the airport to the cruise port and from the cruise port to the airport. I am cruising on the Liberty of the Seas out of Galveston and this is what is available on my cruise planner:

Time to go check.

Thanks!

I still don't see the option on my cruise planner.

Could it be that it's only available to those who use their Air services?

Typically the airport to port and port to airport transfers don't show up on Cruise Planner unless they are tagged to an excursion with Airport drop off. If you want to reserve before the cruise - contact your Travel Agent or Royal Caribbean directly.

Mine aren't tied to an excursion, but I did enter my flight information as part of the check-in process. Maybe it shows up after you enter your flight information. They probably don't let you book the transfers until they are sure your departure flight leaves after a certain time because you can't book it if you have an early flight.

I'm just starting to look at flights for October 8th cruise. When I got flight information from AirtoSea you have the option to include transfers if you wish

We used Galveston Limo last month and had excellent service, but we were not travelling on Cruise days.

Another transfer limo service between Houston airports and clear lake and galveston ports and hotels.
