SIENA6334 Posted May 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2014 We have booked a repo cruise in Feb. 2015. We leave out of Ft Lauderdale but will end in Galvaston. I have never been to Texas and know very little about Galvaston. We would like to stay a couple days after the cruise. I would appreciate advice on a nice place to stay and places to see:confused:.

Galveston Cruiser Posted May 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2014 First thing to know is that Mardi Gras is from Feb. 6 to Feb. 17, 2015. Hotels will require a minimum number of nights and be more expensive. Second: Check out Galveston.COM for hotels and things to do; always a lot in February - actually all the time:D Also look at galvestonhistory.org Downtown hotels are The Tremont and Harbor House, numerous ones on Seawall. Also Bed & Breakfasts and resort rentals; numerous websites list these. There is a tremendous amount of history in Galveston so have fun discovering and planning before your cruise.

05mak05 Posted May 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Check tripadvisor.com for things to do in Galveston. For years, we've intended to go to Moody Gardens and have never made it. A few weeks ago, our friends did go and had such a good time! Other hotels are Galvez, Hilton, Hampton and Sheraton Four Points and are all located across the street from the water. The Hampton is next to Wal-Mart which is nice for last minute purchases. A few weeks ago, we stayed at Four Points using Starwood points. This was our 3rd stay and it was nice, quiet and clean. And, free. Breakfast runs about $10 pp and is very good. The breakfast at the Hampton is free but very limited, high carb choices. No eggs. And, here's a great link showing the location of cruise port hotels: http://www.pre-cruisehotels.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chmie Posted May 27, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2014 We spent 3 nites at the Galvez prior to our cruise out of Galveston and loved this hotel. On the seawall and close to a pier worth visiting. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
