Royal Caribbean port in Falmouth is the best for shopping for souvenirs and liquor, coffee, etc. It is clean and wide open. The Blue Waters Beach was very relaxing.
We went to the public beach - it was very small and crowded. We had been on all the excursions on previous trips - but turtle, dolphin and stingrays are always fun here.
Great snorkeling!
We drove to Galveston - but stayed about 30 minutes away the night before in a small town, Alvin, Tx. It was great not to be in a big city, but still had plenty of nice places to eat dinner.

The cruise shopping guide will encourage you to shop and come to their shopping events on board - I have never found any great deals at any of the ports. I only bought a few souvenir gifts at the last port for my grandkids. I would not waste my vacation time shopping. Go to the beaches!
I have cruised 5 times now, and have made all the ports I am interested in, and some of them twice, so this cruise was a little disappointing, since nothing ever changes on these ships. The games, activities, and much of the entertainment is always the very same thing. We have participated in most of the excursions we want to try, and so now we just go to the beaches at each port. I wish the cruise lines would add some variety to their activities on board. It gets kind of boring, even though still relaxing. Their drink packages are not worth it, especially if you want iced tea - it's not available at any of the food areas except the Windjammer which is not easy to get to, and even they do not keep tea made. I was disappointed in the drink package! This ship was just remodeled, but I could not see any big differences in it and any other Royal Caribbean ship I have been on. All in all - if you've never cruised, it would be fun, but after several cruises, I am ready for a different type of vacation.
