Galveston

Does anyone know how far of a distance it is from the Houston Hobby airport to the Galveston port? Thinking of booking the Galaxy out of Galveston but not sure, Ft Lauderdale is easier to travel to from the Northeast.

From Hobby to the port in Galveston is about a 45 minute drive. Thats if there is no traffic.

Thanks for the information. I am still considering this cruise, not sure though.

You probably know this already, but many people are not aware that most flights to Houston arive at Houston Intercontinental, on the north side of town, which is about 30 minutes further away.

 

Commercial shuttles are available, I believe, but access to Galveston is a bit of a hassle at best if you're flying in.

After doing a bit more research I think I will probably skip the cruise going to Galveston. Flights are quite long coming from the East Coast and more expensive than Florida or even San Diego. I love the Galaxy and I thought it would be nice to explore Texas a bit but at this point I might just wait a bit. I was thinking of going March 200.
