Have sailed from Galveston quite a few times. In my opinion, the easiest and least stressful transportation from the pier to either Hobby or IAH is the cruise line transportation. Getting from the airports to Galveston is another story. Because we always get the the port at least a day early, the transportation offered by the cruise lines isn't really an option but there are a number of reliable shared ride shuttles. Just Google it and pick the one that suits your fancy.

We have sailed from Galveston many times. In my opinion, a taxi may be an option but a very expensive one. There are a couple shared ride shuttles but then you need to judge what time you want to schedule. Good luck with that. My wife has been successful in doing that but there have been a couple times when things could very easily "gone south". It is much easier and less stressful to simply use the cruise lines "shuttle" (bus).
