cant_w8_2_cruise Posted March 7, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2016 We are booked on a 1pm shuttle returning to Hobby AFTER our cruise ends on Easter Sunday. A few questions for those familiar with Galveston and the cruise terminal there. 1. Is there a place close enough to walk to for lunch? 2. Is there a place at the port to store luggage?? 3. Any info/advice on what it will be like staying in the port that long after debarkation? (Obviously we won't be in a hurry to disembark, but wondering how long people can stay around that area/in the port??) Anything else I'm not thinking of? Thanks!

PAPERBKWRITER Posted March 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I don't think there is anyplace to store your luggage while you explore a bit. The strand is well within walking distance if you can find a place to "dump" your bags. I have a question. What is the shuttle you are using to and from Hobby? and what is the cost.

DenaInWyo Posted March 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2016 We have a noon pickup and are wondering exactly the same thing. Even a coffee shop close by to just hang out would be great. Will be watching for ideas! (We're using Galveston Express shuttle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvisran Posted March 26, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) We have a noon pickup and are wondering exactly the same thing. Even a coffee shop close by to just hang out would be great. Will be watching for ideas! (We're using Galveston Express shuttle) I live on the north side of Houston and go down to Galveston once a month or so. There is a Starbucks across the street from the terminal (It's not right across the street, down half a block or so). It's right at a light with a cross walk. You'll often see the ship crews hanging outside of it using the wifi. Edited March 26, 2016 by elvisran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherCraig Posted March 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2016 We go to Galveston once or twice a month for a day of fun. A lot to do in the port area and plenty of places to eat. Our favorite go-to place near the port is Shrimp and Stuff. Right off of the Stand right there. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanwel Posted March 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Pre cruise, I went to the east of the port - there is a seafood restaraunt - not far to walk even with luggage - you can sit outside if warm enough or take your luggage in with you - they are used to luggage - being so close to the port - very friendly. I was solo, and they watched my luggage when I went to use the washroom. you can buy a drink or just a coffee or a light meal - up to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
