nazpaz Posted November 24, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Just being dropped off at the terminal (no parking, etc.) and using the Green Line, what's the latest reasonable time to arrive for a 3:00 cruise from Galveston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read recent reviews about embarkation/debarkation problems out of Galveston. Green line doesn't exist outside of the terminal. I agree with Cruise Raider - 11:00AM. Be prepared for delays unless Galveston changes their procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted November 24, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I was going to say noon, but after reflection I agree with 11:00am. It all depends on how "risk averse" you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PacnGoNow Posted November 24, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Does this issue exist with all the cruise lines out of Galveston, or is it just PCL? Is it because PCL is still new to that port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted November 24, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 24, 2023 You must be checked in 90 minutes before sailing. That means the latest check in time is 1:30. With the delays reported at Galveston I think what others have mentioned, 11am is a good 'late' target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted November 24, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 24, 2023 If you are in line by 1:00 I would doubt you would be turned away. What times are they showing on the personalizer for boarding ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partybarbie Posted November 24, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 24, 2023 My family will never forget the horror of boarding in Galveston. Due to three ships in port and pouring rain, our ship didn’t leave until 10:00 pm. I think you are fine arriving at 1:00 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bethfelk Posted November 25, 2023 #9 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Not something I would wanna gamble much on personally, especially with how much of a mess it’s been recently. Supposedly according to recent reviews they were shutting the port doors at 2:30 and people who hadn’t made it in yet were just denied boarding. Potential Downside of getting there early is more waiting also with the potential upside of getting on the ship earlier, potential downside of getting there late is missing your cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen ships hold their departure for well over an hour waiting for late buses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
