My first trip to Galveston and loved it! We stayed at the Hilton Island Resort. They had excellent staff, nice clean rooms and a fun swim up bar! Free shuttle to the cruise port but don’t be like us and miss it. It’s easy to do when you’re in the waiting area. We should’ve paid more attention but they do not announce they are leaving or anything. And the other folks waiting may not necessarily be on your same bus. Luckily we caught up to the shuttle (which had our luggage on board haha)! My advice, if they tell you to wait in the waiting area, just go ahead and climb onboard instead, follow your luggage!

Our home port! It might not be the prettiest water you see all week but it means vacation! We stay at cheaper motels on the sea wall. And always pay for parking at cruise parking places. Our favorite is Lighthouse. They come and pick you up at your car and it's covered. I haven't gone out of another terminal but I love it!

Galveston is a nice place to visit and go to the beach. There's pleasure pier for fun and they have a Bubba Gump restaurant that is pretty good as well.

Stayed 2 days at an Airbnb in Galveston before the cruise. We loved it! Beautiful water, lots of restaurants to choose from. We enjoy Miller's Seawall Grill, Saltgrass steak house, The Black Pearl Oyster Bar, Mod coffee house, and The Mosquito cafe. Trolley only $1.00 each time you use with a free transfer to either seawall or downtown district trolley. Bus system easy to access. We appreciated the locals guidance/tips for getting around town. Lots of neat shops. Do the free ferry ride. We saw dolphins, pelicans, and other wildlife.

I like Galveston pier because I can do things before I embark on the ship. It’s also not far from places to eat or shops.
