hannahsmomtoo Posted August 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2013 HI all :) SO.. The earliest flight that Carnival allows you to enter on their "post cruise transfer" reservations is 130...(Galveston ) Our flight is at 1230 Should I .. A. Enter 1230 on the form, use Carnival transfers... Get there in plenty of time or B. Self disembark and take a Taxi to Hobby? The ONLY other feasible flight is at 630pm and we dont want to stay in Texas all day... I know I am taking a risk because there can be customs delays / mechanical issues etc Thoughts?

crazy4themouse Posted August 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I can't imagine anyone NOT wanting to spend the day - or a lifetime! - in our great state... :D In all seriousness, as long as there are no issues and you self-disembark with your luggage, you should have no trouble at all and make it there with plenty of time to relax. That being said, I have no idea how their shuttles work, like how long you'd have to wait before actually leaving for the airport. And I'm kind of confused -- if the earliest available choice for flight is 1:30, how could you enter 12:30 instead? A taxi might be the best bet, or a private shuttle service. The biggest factor could be weather, depending on when you cruise -- fog can be a big huge delay-causer, mostly January through March. I would just make sure you have trip insurance. Have a great cruise! :) -gina- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I usually follow the cruise line's advice, I think you'll be able to make that flight. I'd self disembark and take the taxi to Hobby. I'm not sure why they're going with 1:30 PM, as the earliest time? We've always had 11:30 AM to Hobby. Are you sure you're not looking at the time's from Galveston to Bush airport instead of Hobby?
