mlanders Posted December 7, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 7, 2022 On Allure of the Seas Feb 19th have used other off site parking services closer to other ports and walked. New RCI port is further away. Is it best to pay the extra cost and part in the lots by the pier? Latest review was talking about only one parking shuttle in the drop off area at a time and took a long time to get back to port. The cost of the lots by the ship is significantly higher than other off site lots. Has anyone stayed at hotels in Galveston and left car at the hotel and used Uber to get to ship? What was the approximate cost of the uber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footzz Posted December 7, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Yes, we drive in the day before and stay at hotels that have included cruise parking. Some have shuttle service while others don't. A cost is difficult to estimate not knowing the distance from the lodging to the port. Once you have that info, both Uber and Lyft has estimators for cost.

margeecruiser Posted December 8, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 8, 2022 We are also on your cruise. We are using Falstaff Parking. It is cheaper than the parking at the pier, has shuttle service and is covered parking . We have used them before and were very happy. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwayneb236 Posted December 8, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 8, 2022 we just decided to do covered parking at the new terminal. is costly and we'll see if its worth it in March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifes-a-beach Posted December 8, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Another thumbs up for Falstaff Parking. We have used them for several years and are very happy with the service. In addition to being covered, it is in a huge enclosed parking garage that is elevated about 5 feet above street level. They also have 24x7 security on site. Drivers are always friendly and helpful. Very satisfied. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubedobedo Posted December 10, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Another thumbs up for Falstaff parking. Used them in May and nothing but good things to say about their service. Using them again next year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssb Posted December 10, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Falstaff and Discount are next door to one another on 33rd street. Both are reasonably priced. Both provide shuttles . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had it for May15. I sent an email asking why and never got an answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHARTWICK Posted December 17, 2022 #9 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Thanks for info re: Falstaff. We usually use lighthouse, but they don’t have services listed for the Princess sailings, and we sail 2/5/23. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynt Posted December 21, 2022 #10 Share Posted December 21, 2022 We cruised Royal over Thanksgiving. I highly recommend parking at the cruise terminal. Nothing like parking your car and walking to the cruise terminal to check in. We will always park at Royals new terminal going forward. It is so convenient now to park at the terminal. A no Brainer for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHARTWICK Posted December 22, 2022 #11 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Falstaff's website references a gated parking lot in their options, which is a few dollars less than the enclosed garage parking. Where is that in relation to their garage parking? Couldn't see anything that looks like a gated parking lot looking at a map of their location. I e-mailed them to ask about the gated parking, but I have not received a response. Also, anyone have a promo code for them? Thanks in advance.

When we lived in FL, we would drive and park at pier a lot, but now that we are in Austin, thinking about trying a cruise from TX. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South is across the street. It looks like plenty of parking considering all three lots - covered, North and South lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used the awesome SkyCam before. Thanks for your post! I am so glad that I dug through older threads for information.

TxShipShape Posted June 16, 2023 #18 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Your Welcome. The Turning basin for the ships is around there also. You can watch the Carnival ships turn around to get in and out of port if you can catch it at the right time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
