Transportation from Hobby to Galveston port

Hi all , We’re trying to figure out best ( also not expensive) way to travel from Hobby to the port . We are of course arriving a day before cruise on Liberty ! Any help would be much appreciated . End of Jan . 2019 .

We found the most inexpensive way was to rent a car. We needed it for the one day when we returned also, so we just rented it for the entire time and parked it at the port.

Cruise Connection was $22pp in January from Hobby to Harbor House next to the pier. Great place to stay the night before.

Thanks folks !

Were you able to get a one-night price at the Harbor House?

It looks to me like Cruise Connection is closed permanently.

We used VIP Express and highly recommend Emmanuel.

Yes, but made it at least six months before January cruise. And nice lady at check-in gave us corner room overlooking port.

Very nice. We lucked out once too, it was really something to see the ship arrive in the morning.

Does your hotel have a courtesy shuttle? Or do you plan to site see? If so, rent a car for the day.

Galveston’s trolley is an easy and convenient way to get around the island.

Galveston’s trolley system has two loops. One servicing downtown and the other servicing the seawall. The transfer between loops is at 21st Street and Seawall Boulevard.

That means you can ride to or from Downtown to Moody Gardens or Stewart Beach!

The Seawall stops are located every few blocks between Stewart Beach and Moody Gardens. Downtown has several stops. The most popular being at Saengerfest Park and Hendley Green on The Strand.

The cost is only $1 per person and that includes a transfer between loops. Minors accompanied by an adult ride free. Exact change is required, as drivers do not have change. So, be sure to have a dollar bill ready when you board.

Enjoy your ride!

Darn.  Web site was cruiseconnection.us but looks like that now points to Galveston Express.

Still provides transportation between airport and hotels on the island, though.
