Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. My goodness I thought surely you would have realized your mistake by now. I didn't realize I needed to send just the one sentence that disproves your understanding of the situation. Well here it is: "The port will convert an existing cargo warehouse into the 165,000-square-foot cruise terminal,” the port said in a news release.
  2. If only they had included one more sentence from the original quote. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2024/02/25/4th-cruise-terminal-complex-coming-to-port-of-galveston/ “The port will develop the $100 million cruise terminal, $42 million parking garage, internal roadway and other improvements at Pier 16 beginning in early 2024. The estimated $142 million project will be funded with port cash reserves and revenue bonds. The port will convert an existing cargo warehouse into the 165,000-square-foot cruise terminal,” the port said in a news release. “We’re able to begin this new project now because Del Monte Fresh Produce Co., a long-standing cargo tenant, has outgrown its facilities in Galveston. We are happy to see that Del Monte was able to relocate 30 miles to the south in Freeport, thus retaining its regional economic impact. We leveraged this opportunity based on the unprecedented popularity of the cruise industry and our optimal location in the central part of the United States,” Rees said.
  3. Carnival always has two ships in on Saturday and the Jubilee always gets Terminal 25, which leaves the other two ships at Terminal 28 that day.
  4. Galveston Express can take you to any destination within the City of Galveston. Service ends pretty much where the seawall ends down around 95th St. They do offer transfers from a Galveston hotel to the cruise terminal for $15 per-person but have fewer options right now on the weekends because of the high demand to get to and from the airports.
  5. The Port of Galveston will refurbish the building currently in place. There are no plans to build a new structure at this time.
  6. Galveston Express has the same prices as pre-pandemic.
  7. At George Bush Airport (IAH), all domestic flights, including those originating in Canada, fly in and out of Terminal A. The only exception is United and United Express which fly from Terminals C & B respectively.
  8. They call it Intercontinental. For years it was known as the Intercontinental Airport of Houston (IAH) until, well, the rest is history.
  9. It's a fee for the entire group, not per-person. The intent is to encourage the majority to catch the shuttle at the airport which, in turn, reduces the number of stops.
