ssb Posted March 30, 2016 #176 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Hopefully y'all will be able to utilize the new facilities! And Lets hope immigration has full staff to support facility and allow Galveston to shine????? If nothing is improved with Immigration and if there is lack of coordination with RCL release of passengers procedures from ship , then all the improvements to terminal go for naught. And secondly hope immigration clears RCL passengers first over Carnival ship to support Better image of Galveston by sending all staff to terminal #2 RCL first and not favoring terminal #1 Carnival. It can happen for sure!!!!!!!! See Royal Carribean thread on CC. Three staff show up!!!! Terrible disembarkation at Port Everglades 3/26 (Multi-page thread 1 2 3 ... Last Page) Edited March 30, 2016 by ssb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted March 30, 2016 #177 Share Posted March 30, 2016 ssb, I didn't realize the same immigration/customs staff is used for both terminals! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssb Posted March 30, 2016 #178 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) ssb, I didn't realize the same immigration/customs staff is used for both terminals! :eek: Yes and they have in past at times , staffed early Terminal 1 fully, and terminal 2 partially, then will send over finished staff to terminal 2 later. Therefore RCL and terminal 2 are later than terminal 1 being cleared. In the end Galveston is blamed, when it is an Immigration inadequate staffing problem. And on top of that , if RCL gets frustrated with immigration to get departing passengers cleared thru immigration to curb , RCL will dump passengers to get them off ship into terminal, on top of already immigration backup problem for a bigger mess in the baggage claim and immigration area. Let's just all hope for the best all around in all aspects. But if it is still happening today in Florida and Barcellona , for what ever reason , it can still happen in Galveston. The immigration officers are always bitching openly and talking about issues. Edited March 30, 2016 by ssb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimAOk1945 Posted April 5, 2016 #189 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Are the seats in the tent "first come, first served?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mil76 Posted April 6, 2016 #190 Share Posted April 6, 2016 They had sections based on C&A level, but within the sections it was first come, first served. The higher levels are closest to the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
