joevoter Posted March 29, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2008 We're taking the TA from Barcelona to Galveston in Nov/Dec. Does anyone have plans of returning to IAH from the Galveston pier? Or are you staying in Galveston and taking a shuttle from IAH at the beginning? Thanks for your assistance bec I sure need it. Have booked hotel in Barcelona but don't know about transfers there either. Got a better rate than Royal plus we're staying an extra night. Also saved by purchasing our own airfare.

cruiser7607 Posted April 3, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2008 how many passengers do you have? I know a taxi can be pricey. I know www.thetransferanswer.com does cruise transfers for galveston but it may not be the best option if you are only 2 passengers. They will still beat a taxi price but not cheap as it's so far.

juliebug52 Posted April 23, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Rented a van for the five of us. Cheaper than other transportation. Returned it to IAH. About an 1 hour and 20 minute drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzCruiseGurl Posted April 30, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I looked online today and yellow cab is quoting 144.00 from IAH to Galveston... We are a family of 4 called the transfer answer and 300.00 RT. It expensive to go to Galvestion!!! I guess the outragous gas prices dont help :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebug33 Posted April 30, 2008 #7 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yeah, we're dealing with this,too. We did end up getting 2 one way rentals from Hertz: 120 from IAH and 60 bucks back. Go figure about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcross2 Posted June 2, 2008 #8 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Joevoter, we are doing the same thing as lovebug, renting a car one-way. (I emailed you about it from our TA rollcall after you asked there ... but the email bounced back. See you over there?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancunense Posted June 4, 2008 #9 Share Posted June 4, 2008 In Barcelona the transfer to the ship is very easy...but the trick is that they charge you per piece of luggage in the taxi...!! make sure to agree on a price for each piece of luggage, or when you arrive at the pier not far from the south tip of Las Ramblas...you see the cost in Euros, in the taxi, and it looks alright, until the driver presses a button and adds the luggage fee. Ahh! The first time we learned the hard way, the second time we were thrilled with the low rate from any Las Ramblas hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancunense Posted June 4, 2008 #10 Share Posted June 4, 2008 sorry kids, am new to this forum and was super anxious to post my question before reading the answer. the transferanswer says 36usd per person...perfecto. anyone tried it? I want 100% certainty. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowtiger Posted August 3, 2008 #11 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Super shuttle in Texas is $150 from the pier to the IAH and $100 to Hobby. The rate is per shuttle whether there are 2 people or 10 people. We looked for others to join us on the M&M site and filled the shuttle up in 2 days. At $10.30 each we sure are saving a lot.
