In a Port of Galveston Board Meeting on November 30th, there was a brief mention of a memorandom of understanding between the port and MSC to discuss development of a fourth cruise terminal. It sounds like MSC has plans to not only come to the Galveston market but potentially own their own building.
I have never been on an MSC cruise but since Galveston is my home
Most itineraries from Galveston (also New Orleans & Mobile) travel to the Western Caribbean and usually include only 3 ports instead of the typical 4 ports on a similar itinerary from Florida. They also don’t visit a cruise line private island, unless they are a rare sailing to the Bahamas. MSC may decide to offer some cruises to Ocean Cay (their private island), Nassau & Key West to give an alternative to the typical itinerary provided by other lines from Galveston.
