we went a few years ago and they let us stay at the park and come back when we wanted. I don't know if that is still available but we thought it was great.

Thanks

Just wondering. Since we are there from 1pm until 10pm is there something special that I am missing. I haven't seen anything on the boards other than the shops close early. thanks for any info.

Does anyone know if there is a place to pick up a couple of bottles of wine in Barcelona. We are staying at the Hotel continental so some place close to there would be perfect.

There is a line of taxis at the port. One time the driver of a small van had some other people and dropped them off first and then tried to charge us for a longer ride but we told he we knew it was close and would not pay more than $3 pp which he accepted. We also told him it would be the same if he wanted to pick up us later and he did. It is very close so we knew the resort could get us another cab if we needed but he was waiting for us later in the day.

That was the last time we went so I would suggest that you turn down larger vans and just grab a regular cab. There were six of us that time so a regular cab wouldn't fit us but the cabs are very regulated at the cruise port and they go out a check out point so it shouldn't be a problem. It helps if you tell them what the fare will be at the beginning.

The good thing about the larger van was that we met a young couple that planned on just getting dropped off at the beach and when we told them about Sunset Beach decided to go too and had a great day.

We've gotten a day pass there three times now. A great relaxing, fun day. You can email them to let them know you are coming but it isn't really necessary. We've done it both ways. It's really close to the ship and our cab has always returned at the time we asked (usually will be there earlier waiting for you).

well the reason no one had heard of park n cruise is because the first week they were open was when we went on our cruise may 16. They are still a very small operation. Just a couple of blocks from the port and they don't have shuttles but we had a few covered spots and we got there early enough to grab two and they only cost $40 which was great because we had two vehicles. I would recommend them.

I was just doing a search about parking at the Galveston terminal and prices range from $40 to $65. My inclination is to choose the cheaper lot, but I'd like to hear from someone who has used this lot to make sure there is not a good reason why it is cheaper. thanks.
