kgpackrat Posted May 30, 2006 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2006 We are cruising on the Ecstasy on June 8th :D and are using the EZ Cruise Parking. Can we drop off our luggage before parking? Also, I guess there are 2 terminals--how do we know which one we go to? Thanks, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozeman Posted May 30, 2006 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yes you can and if you are early or have a lot of baggage that is the easiest. There will be signs to each ship, but really all you have to do is LOOK UP and see which ship is where. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgpackrat Posted May 30, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Great. Thanks a bunch. Needless to say, we are new at this:eek: !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luanne21 Posted May 30, 2006 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Congratulations on your cruise. I wish I was going with you. The Ecstasy was our first. Have you been going to Galveston.com to see your ship in port? This will give you an idea where your ship will be. I am sure someone will correct me, but as far as I have ever seen, the first port building has always been Carnival. Have a great cruise!!!

kgpackrat Posted May 30, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yes, I watch her all the time and drool. This is our first cruise and we are really excited. We booked the cruise in January and it is hard to believe we are down to just 10 days:D:D:D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luanne21 Posted May 30, 2006 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2006 You are going to have the best time. Do you have excursions planned? Luanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgpackrat Posted May 30, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted May 30, 2006 We are going to try the snuba in Cozumel. We toyed with trying scuba, but decided to ease into it. We have snorkeled once before in Hawaii and loved it. Maybe the next cruise will be longer and we will get braver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luanne21 Posted May 30, 2006 #8 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I am sure you will do just fine. One piece of advice. Take the time to really enjoy the ship. There will be sooooo much to do, and if you try and do it all, you will come home so tired, and in a way cheated, because you didn't take a few minutes to enjoy. You are driving down, so where are you coming from? Luanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgpackrat Posted May 30, 2006 Author #9 Share Posted May 30, 2006 We live in Oklahoma City, but will be spending a few days with friends in Corpus Christi before the cruise. We are driving from there to Galveston the night before the cruise. We wanted to make sure there were no travel problems and we were there in plenty of time.

Luanne21 Posted May 30, 2006 #10 Share Posted May 30, 2006 You are going to leave corpus the night before the cruise? It won't take very long to get there, and you will be so tired. You will have to come near my house to get to Corpus. We are at Ft. Hood Luanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgpackrat Posted May 30, 2006 Author #11 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Actually we are leaving Corpus late afternoon and spending the night in a Galveston motel. I take it you are Army? We are retired Air Force--that is how we got to OKC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luanne21 Posted May 30, 2006 #12 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Oh I misunderstood you. Yes we are military. 24 years now. Where are you staying in Galveston? Luanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgpackrat Posted May 30, 2006 Author #13 Share Posted May 30, 2006 A quick night at Motel 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luanne21 Posted May 30, 2006 #14 Share Posted May 30, 2006 We are staying at the La Quinta this time. Everything else was booked. Anyone reading this and are going to Galveston needs to book early. They are sailing out fast these days. I know you will have a great cruise. Just remember that things happen. Just smile and remember it's a cruise, and most of the people you know won't be on one.

LonghornKJK Posted May 30, 2006 #17 Share Posted May 30, 2006 We are cruising on the Ecstasy on June 8th :D and are using the EZ Cruise Parking. Can we drop off our luggage before parking? Also, I guess there are 2 terminals--how do we know which one we go to? Thanks, Kathy No need to drop off your luggage first. Traffic can be a mess around the terminal. Just drive to EZ Cruise and they'll load your luggage on their shuttle and drive you straight to the terminal, where they will drop you off right where the porters are loading luggage. It works just like parking at the airport and taking the airport shuttle. At least, that's how it worked for us last November. :) I've dropped friends off at the terminal before and traffic can really get backed up so you sure don't want to sit in it twice! :eek: Have a great cruise!
