Galveston Cruiser

There are numerous ones listed in Gulf Coast Departures. We always use Saltwater Moms

We were on the Radiance 28 days from April 21st. Free coffee at Cafe Latte-tudes. Just show sea pass. Had my cappuccino multiple times every day.

I recommend a car service for personal service

All drivers have a waiting area away from terminals. Once you log in to Uber, the App will tell you how long before pick up and you text driver the location number outside of terminal luggage pick up. All pick ups are in the same locations. In Galveston , check with hotel for transportation options. Same with return to IAH It is not complicated.

Anything east of 61st St. only takes minutes to reach any terminal. The island is only 2 miles wide at its widest. There are many options in all prices ranges. Choose what works the best for you.

You are over thinking. What hotel is 15 minutes away? Nothing is very far on the island with the exception of West End. 14th St goes directly to the terminal (only entrance) Drop off signage is easy. Allow time for disembarking passengers to leave terminal. We never go before 1 PM and never wait.

On Radiance from 4/21 to 5/19. No issues including a 2 1/2 hour zoom meeting.

The closest are The Tremont and Harbor House. Nothing is very far away on the island. check visitgalveston.com and google maps

Uber, Lyft or taxi

No hotels within walking distance. Nothing is very far on the island. Lots of hotels on Seawall Blvd, 2 downtown; Harbor House and The Tremont. Thousands of vacation rentals.

There are several restaurants; Gaido's is at 39th, a few blocks to the west is Landry's, Google maps will show you what is in the area.

Flores owns Shark Shack. Mike Dean owns Tsunami. Yaga's, Blvd. Seafood and Yaga's Entertainment - responsible for Mardi Gras. Galveston Restaurant Group has Saltwater Grill, Taquilo's, Sly Bar, Gumbo Diner, Mario's Seawall, Papa's Pizza and Gumbo Bar. Dennis Byrd owns the Spot and has the Holiday Inn Express next door and 3200 block of Seawall. He started as a dishwasher, worked his up to purchase in 2002. Ha since expanded it to 5 venues and built a 5 story parking garage for the business. Many interesting stories in and about Galveston

The best crawfish - ever! All the food is excellent. During the Covid shutdown, ordered crawfish from Huli Hul- still steaming when arrived home. Granted, we live 3 minutes away! Another favorite is Mama Theresa's Flying Pizza. Everything is delicious and smells so good. Their Manicotti is to die for. Same as above during covid. In the winter, I put the order on the heated seat😅 The Steakhouse is pricey, but so worth it

Miss the Pelican Club. Gaido's is good, but pricey. I feel it operates on legend. Don't like Nick's at all.. This my opinion of 40+ years For seafood we go to Katie's, both to eat and purchase. The other being Blvd/ Other high end restaurants we prefer are Rudy & Paco's, Vargas Cut & Catch, Number 13 and Steakhouse at the San Luis.

No. Just added additional restaurants.

I was responding to walking distance from Grand Galvez. Blvd. is 2 additional blocks from Pleasure Pier. Few locals go to Fish Tales; view is good, food not so. Many of Landry's owned restaurants are excellent, but not all.

Walk a few blocks more to Blvd. Seafood - excellent and locally owned, Seawall & 28th. Fish Tales is another chain restaurant.

We board her 4/21 for 28 days!

Across the street.

Millers is a block away. Local favorite. Pleasure pier is 4 blocks from hotel

Taxi Car services don't want to transport locally

Galveston has numerous hotels, most on the beach front, and many new. The premier hotels are the Galvez, San Luis and Tremont House. Galveston is a destination and, as with most destinations, costs more. Options include full service, limited service and basic in all price ranges. FYI The hotel on the pier, Flagship, was badly damaged by Hurricane Ike in 2008 and was torn down.

Uber drivers have been going in and out of the port, but illegally.. The Wharves Board approved a contract with Uber at their March 28th meeting. Contract to be executed in April with an effective date of May 1, 2023.

Ask your cabin steward. Easily available; we asked for and received on Artic Circle crossing.
