Huge shoutout to the folks at Port Galveston! It’s the little changes/upgrades that have happened that make the process so much easier and smoother. I can not express how much time the facial recognition software has saved onboarding but especially debarking through customs. Great Work to all who had a hand in getting that up and running.

Getting onboard gets easier and easier in Galveston. While the port terminal is older than dirt, Carnival keeps making it easier and easier for the boarding process

Our favorite home port ❤️ We’re native Texan’s and hope that Carnival will branch out to more destinations from the port of Galveston ❤️ Cuba, Dominican, etc.
