toxicfairy Posted February 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Ok never cruised out of Galveston so August will be first time. How early does the ship usually arrive back and how long does it usually take to get off and get through everything? Would an 11:30 am flight be ok? Flights just opened hoping to book them soon. Thanks for any/ all help! Sent from my SM-J700T1 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleednBlu Posted February 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I would book later that that. Galveston is 45 mins to Hobby and over an hour to Bush. If you have a shared ride it would be tough to make a 1130 flight. Galveston is known for being a bit slow in get off and though customs as well.

George C Posted February 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I agree on the 45 mins, if you want to carry our your own luggage there should not be a problem, ( not sure if carnival has this RCCL does) we were in suite so we went after the people that carried there luggage and I was outside before 9 and at airport before 10am , but might want to add a few minutes to be safe we normally get a noon flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsvd79 Posted March 5, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 5, 2017 We just booked Galveston Limo. It kinda reminds of SAS out of FLL. I hope this works out well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted March 9, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Interesting might need to try GL although we have never had issue with execucar which we normally use for a towncar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicfairy Posted March 13, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Anyone know how far out is best to book Galveston limo? We're not cruiseing until late August. Sent from my SM-J700T1 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomarc Posted March 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 17, 2017 We dock in Galveston at 7:00 am. Do you think we'd comfortably make a 1:00 pm flight taking Galveston Limo to Hobby? I don't want to be rushed for time. BTW, we're pre-TSA approved. Also, what would be a safe departure time to book the limo back to the airport?

onthegreenz Posted March 19, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Just wondering if anyone has used Uber out there ? Or perhaps the better question would be what's the Uber availability in that area ? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagacruiser Posted May 25, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I used Galveston Shuttle & Limo which provide us a private car, the driver was there right on the time we booked, but we got stuck on the immigration line, so he waited for us, then he took us to IAH airport, the ride was 75 minutes with no traffic at all. the price was not bad at all, but the service was peace of mind if you have an early flight.
