Speaking of Texas, I'm hearing that....

[George C]

While ports are very limited, allure has so many positives when it comes to entertainment and Galveston is a favorite for much of Texas.

They basically announced this last week when they moved Liberty back to Florida and the annual report mentioned the terminal was one of two projects they were spending money on. 

When are they moving the Liberty back to Florida?  We are booked on her for this July.  I understand that it probably won't be a go but did not know it was leaving.  Any info would be helpful.

When Allure was first announced I sure was hoping they'd offer up a smaller ship, let's say Adventure for a 10, 11 or 12 night cuise to the ABC islands out of Galveston. My hope is still there.

I have not looked, will Galveston be year-round for Allure or seasonal?

As of right now, it's available to book Nov 22 - April 23. But I'm thinking it'll be here year round.

No, she moves to Florida in Oct 2022.  Allure is in Galveston from Nov 2022 onward.

Is there still a two week gap between arrival if Allure and regular sailings?

I can't figure that one out...except maybe in dry dock for two weeks?  Was going to stay on for another leg after coming in from the TA...but I guess not.  😮

Yeah I'm curious as well, unless it's for an extended shakedown of the new terminal with the larger class of ship.

Dry dock in Galveston?  Wht about the smaller rcl cruises, they wouldnt dock there? Idk either.

 

I guess Galveston holds little allure (pun intended) for you since you live in florida. But maybe spend a extra day sightseeing. But maybe not worth it without a car. Hobby airport is about twice as close as Houston intl airport. Oct nov when you will be there is about the best weather you can expect from texas.

In a perfect world we would have stayed on for the first sailing out of Galveston, then on return spend a few days exploring the area before flying back home.

Hobby airport is about 45 minutes, if you can fly like southwest, the smaller airlines go out of hobby.
