You are correct there are not a lot of options (7 or 8 day wise) from Galveston. That was my point. Of course they would spin it in the most positive sense, they are releasing schedule for arguably what they consider their best home port. One may ask why and the answer is clear as well. With over ten million people within a three hour drive, there are millions who have never cruised. Journey cruises are the only answer for variety and Canrival has stepped these up dramatically.
