Nessa1dc Posted February 18, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hello Everyone, There will be 5 of us sailing on the Liberty of the Seas out of Galveston TX in July 2020. This is our 2nd Time on the Liberty, but our 1st time out of Galveston. I have heard good and bad points about sailing out of Galveston. I have some questions though. Let me give you the back drop: a. 5 people (2 seniors) b. Flying into Hobby the night before c. We prefer to travel together (all ride in the same car) Galveston Questions: 1. Should we stay close to the airport the night before or should we go to Galveston Island? We would like to have something to do the night before...nothing adventurous, maybe a nice walk and dinner. We don't want to spend over $200 for a room per couple. What are your suggestions? Can you give us a few places we should look into? 2. If we stay close to the airport and decide to head to the port on embarkation day....is there a private service we could hire for about $120? or should we uber? Are there ubers that can carry 5 people or would we have to separate? How much? (We don't want to take shuttle from the airport to the port). 3. Tell me whatever you think I should know. Liberty Questions: 1. Do they have hibachi at Izumi? 2. Can Diamond Plus use the Concierge Lounge or just the Diamond Lounge? 3. Anything I should know? Its been awhile since we have been on her. Thank you all in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted March 16, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Dang a month and no replies? I'll try to help as best as I can. I personally don't stay in Galveston. Their hotels are always high...even the low end ones. I've found I can get a better hotel cheaper outside of Galveston. I usually stay in Webster. It's a nice area near the Space Center with a lot of restaurants and shopping. But I drive. In your situation I don't know if it would make sense to pay for transportation to webster one day then to Galveston the next. In your situation I'd probably find a good hotel deal near the airport with restaurants and a free airport shuttle. Then you just have to pay for transportation to the Galveston. I never have to get transportation myself but I have heard of people using this: https://galvestonlimo.com/airport-shuttle/ I can't help with Liberty unless it's Carnival Liberty.
