3girlsofmyown Posted August 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) I am looking at a cruise in Feb 2015. The flight would land about 10am ( (BWI to HOU)...would that be sufficient time to get to the port? Anyone have experience with doing this?

Galveston Cruiser Posted August 4, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2014 What port will you sail from - Houston or Galveston? What date in February - Galveston Mardi Gras is 2/21-3/4/15? Personally, will never fly in same day as cruise again. A 3 hour flight to Orlando became 5 hours due to weather. We were to land at 11am, arrived at 2:30 - 4pm before we arrived at Port Canaveral! 10AM landing, baring any unusual circumstances, will allow more than enough time to get to either port.

We would fly into Houston Hobby, leaving from Galveston on Carnival Magic on Monday, 2/23/15. We aren't heavy packers so will probably fly with small carryon suitcases and take Carnival transfer from the airport. I would buy trip insurance, I assume that covers flight delays. But even a 4 hour delay would still get me there ontime...still debating this one :/ Edited August 7, 2014 by 3girlsofmyown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribsun Posted August 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Sounds like a plan, chances are the sailing will be delayed because of fog. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted August 7, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2014 We also won't fly in the same day, too much can go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
