publicpersona Posted September 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2017 We will be getting off Royal Caribbean Liberty on Sep 24 and our flight out of HOU is not until early evening. Usually, the cruise line has a "shore excursion" which is nominally a city tour but the main purpose of it is to 1) eventually get you and your luggage to the airport, and 2) give you something better to do than sit at the airport for half a day. No such option is offered, it appears, and it isn't Harvey related as I checked for this several weeks ago as well. Has anyone done such a "tour" out of Galveston? Or is it the case that there simply isn't that much to see riding around the area, so they just aren't offered. I'm about to book our ground transportation and want to make sure such is not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally posted by Reisdawg Our flight home just got moved to 7:30 PM after our cruise and I wanted to get suggestions on what to do that day. We will have our luggage and were planning on leaving the ship as late as possible when our flight was at 5 PM. Now we are thinking of finding something to do in town but we will more than likely have our luggage. Currently we were planning on taking an Uber to the airport because we are a family of four with two teenagers. Anything fun to do for a few hours and what would you do with your luggage? In Galveston there is temp luggage storage on 25th and Strand at parking center . Many museums and things to do . For a few easy things to do: Bryan Museum Galvestonhistory.org Galveston.com Railroad Museum Submarine ..... and destroyer museum Tall ship Elissa Maritime Museums with ... 3 short historical films Oil industry and drilling rig ....museum Bishops Palace Moody Mansion Old Town Strand 1894 Grand Opera House Carved trees from Hurricane IKE Moody Gardens Half way to Houston is NASA and Kemah .
