Clarea Posted January 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Galveston Express is often mentioned. Also check out the Gulf Coast departures forum: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzk2275a Posted January 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The last time we left out of Galveston we had a group of 5 people. We found it more cost effective to rent a car and pay to park at the dock than to use a shuttle or taxi. Susan Gee i didnt realised it was very dear to get to galveston from Houston airport.

TheChefslc Posted January 19, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 19, 2017 i found that galveston express was really inexpensive. my return trip for 13, well 11 now, is $300. they do offer services for $25 each way so thats a good price too. this is my first trip out of galveston and will most likely be my last. getting there and back is such a hassle Sent from my KFGIWI using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bambione Posted January 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I am cruising out of Galveston Feb 5 on LOS. I booked with Galveston Limo for my husband and I. It was $80.00 round trip out of Hobby airport.. They had quite a few times to pick from, both going and coming back. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted January 22, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) We are renting a car and arriving 2 days pre cruise so we can tour the NASA Space Center then staying at the Marriott across the street an additional night and driving in, leaving the car at the EZ Lot. We are coming into IAH and returning the car back prior to our flight home to So Calif. Edited January 22, 2017 by Desert Cruizers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
