Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Was the $250 one way from IAH hotel? We will have 7 adults in our group. Do you recommend a company to use that would carry 7 passengers and luggage?
  2. Thank you! We will be leaving around 8:30 or 9:00 on a Saturday morning. Looks like most shuttles would have a fee if we need to cancel. Someone said Uber is not allowed in the port area but others say they have used Uber and Lyft. We would need 2 cars for the 6 or 7 of us and afraid we would get separated if we take two vehicles. I know that cruise line charges $100 per person, so I would rather use company that would not cost that much per person and not have cancellation fee if cancelling a few days before the cruise. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
  3. Haven't looked at a lot of hotels yet, but found Home2Suites in Texas City that is less than staying in Galveston. Would it be reasonable rates to take the two Lyfts from there to port or should we still stay in Galveston.
  4. Not familiar with Galveston at all. Do you think it matters which part of Galveston we stay at. I will check out the hotels there.
  5. I looked at hotels in Galveston and area but hotels were more expensive that IAH hotels. We have to book 2 hotels rooms for our family and after paying for hotel close to port and then pay for transportation to port, we would be paying more than getting Carnival transportation. It would be nice to stay within walking distance of the port but those rooms at the Harbor House would cost us too much. Will discuss with my husband about Carnival transportation and other options. Thank you again for your help!
  6. I will consider that. I was just trying to save us some money because there are 6 in our family and I know it is about $25 more per person with Carnival than regular shuttles. Do you think it is safe to use regular shuttle and leave IAH by 9:00 or 10:00? Thanks for your help!
  7. We decided to stay at an IAH hotel the night before our Vista cruise in April where we can have free airport shuttle to hotel. I have read that the traffic can be bad going from there to Galveston the morning of our cruise. If we schedule an early shuttle, will we be able to get to the port in time? Thank you for your help!
  8. Thank you for the information. I guess I didn't make myself clear. I meant free shuttle from Bush International to an airport hotel. In your opinion, should we stay at a hotel at the airport the night before the cruise and get transportation to cruise port the next day. I don't want to worry about traffic and being late to the port. I know some people say get closer to the port the night before but then we have to pay for transportation to hotel, then to port and back to airport after cruise. I hope that all made sense.
  9. We will be cruising out of Galveston for the first time this coming spring and will be flying down the day before our cruise. We have our flight tickets to Houston Bush International. Would it be best to get a hotel near the airport with free shuttle and then buy round trip shuttle to the port? I have read about the traffic being bad. If we stay near the port, we will have to pay shuttle from airport to hotel and then pay for getting to the port and then back to the airport. What is the least expensive way to do it? We have 6 in our family going. Would appreciate help with hotel also. Thank you for your help!
