First, maybe this review was left now because Cruiseline gives you points ;) I also sailed out of Houston in 2015 - same itinerary, different ship. We were only a few hours late departing, but spent an extra night in the channel coming back. It was a very good thing they quit using that port. Thanks for the review, even if it is a little late ;)

Bayport Cruise Terminal was a planned port of call for both Princess Cruises and NorwegianCruise Line in 2013-2014. The cruise ships havesince abandoned the terminal and the Port ofHouston has dismantled the gangways.
