Galveston, Texas Port Reviews

We love Galveston. Going to the Strand for shopping and having a beer. Go ride the Ferry and see dolphins. So much to do. We normally go a day or 2 before the cruise and spend time on the island.

My favorite port! We live in Louisiana but always choose Galveston as our port. Easy boarding and I love spending the night before in Galveston! The Pleasure Pier is always fun and there’s good food always. Starbucks next to port is our go to spot before we board!

Spend the night have some fun before you leave.

Had a blast here the day before the cruise. Inn at the water park was a great deal, went down to the beach and it was awesome. Then went over to seawolf park and seen dolphins and big boats coming in and out. Then ate at shrimp n stuff, so good. Looked at the Galveston railroad museum. And just had a fantastic day!

First time every being in Galveston, and the location is beautiful. Go the day before and enjoy Galveston. The terminal is well organized and was a smooth entry.

The Strand area next to the ship is fun with great shops. The people are very friendly Galveston is a very historic city with great tours. Be sure to check out the sea wall also.

Galveston weather is beautiful today! Can’t wait to head out on the Freedom tomorrow.

We stayed at beautiful historic Hotel Galvez - also parked their for $18 for whole cruise and took their shuttle back to get vehicle after cruise!

LOVE Galveston!!! Tons of things to see and do. Go down a few days early and stay at a beach front house, perfect to relax and get in cruise mode being boarding.
