I see from your previous posts you are sailing 12/12/10 on Voyager of the Seas. If you are flying out of IAH, this is from the Shore Excursions on RCCL's site:

 

GA04 - Galveston/Houston City Tour

PRICE: ADULT: 58.00 / CHILD: 58.00 USD

DURATION: 4 Hours Approx.

 

After departing the Galveston cruise terminal, you will drive through historic downtown Galveston, home of the world famous Strand district. The Strand, with its quaint boutiques and shops, is a shopper's paradise. Whether you are looking for that special something, or a one of a kind treasure, the Strand is the place you'll find it. As you leave Galveston Island for your drive to Houston, you will pass the Johnson Space Center as well as many quaint communities along the way.

 

Houston, the fourth largest city in the U.S. is a vibrant city packed with attractions, festivals and events. Your tour will take you through downtown, which is experiencing a building renaissance with the Bayou Place Entertainment Center, the theatre district, the new Astro Field baseball park, and most recently, the William P. Hobby Center.

 

Travel through the museum district, home to five different museums, Hermann Park, home of the Houston Zoo, and world famous Texas Medical Center, the largest concentration of medical facilities in the world.

 

The tour takes you next through Uptown Houston an upscale commercial area anchored by The Galleria, the address for world class shopping. Finally, you will drive through River Oakes, Houston's most exclusive neighborhood.

 

Note: Your tour will end at George Bush Airport (IAH). A minimum number of participants is required for this tour to operate, thus if the minimum number of participants is not met, the tour is subject to cancellation.
