xxyyzz Posted May 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2019 What are your recommendations for a 1 night pre-cruise hotel in Galveston? Something close to port, perhaps with free breakfast and free shuttle service to the Carnival ship? We are a family traveling with children. Thanks for your good advice and help.

panoramaofthepast Posted May 30, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Will you have a car? Hotels on Galveston Island tend to be more expensive than those just north of the causeway. We will stay in League City or Texas City and drive onto the island in the morning - 30-45 minute drive. We park at EX Cruise and take their shuttle to the ship.

spookwife Posted May 31, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 31, 2019 many of the island hotels have a 2 night minimum. Texas City is a short drive away and tends to be a LOT less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
