We are flying into IAH and staying near the airport (free shuttle from IAH to Hotel). Seeing things in the area and then using free hotel shuttle back to IAH the next day and catching Princess transfer to pier in Galveston. It just made sense to us for what we wanted to do and avoiding snow or ice delays in Kansas City, MO and the high stress that comes with fear of missing the ship by traveling on the same day as the cruise leaving. Princess is aware of our plans and they have no qualms about it. I say go for it! I totally understand your reasoning! Happy cruising!
