Pom Lover Posted February 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2014 We are driving to Galveston next month for our cruise and we saw on their official website that you can park at the port for $65 for the week if you prepay. Has anyone done this? How convenient is the parking at this port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alamogirl Posted February 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2014 We've always used EZCruise Parking, it's so close you can see the cruise ships. They shuttle and if you like your car covered you can pay a little extra to have a cover put on. Google the them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just walked across the street. However you can go through the terminal and drop off your luggage and any passengers. Then walk across the street. There is a red light there at the crossing. You can pay a little more and park inside. That is what we do. Last time we parked at a place that you can park inside that is right on the corner at the red light. It has changed hands since we were there and they changed the name. It is now VIP Indoor Cruise Parking. We are not using them this time because their prices went up. They are closest to the port. If you have any questions about them, please let me know. I hope I explained it so you can understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's always releasing discounts. Until 3/15, use the code "Emerson" when you book online and get $10 off no matter your sail date. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoop98 Posted February 13, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 13, 2014 We loved Park and Cruise the last two times we have sailed. We paid for indoor parking. Easy to drop off luggage and park....or park and take your luggage accross the street. When getting back we self disembark and are on the road before 9 am.

We do the early disembark also and it simplifies things. You don't have to depend on anyone else to take you anywhere. You can just get on the way home and beat most of the traffic.

Pom Lover Posted February 14, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Is the Park N Cruise the official Port of Galveston parking or are they a private company? I think the $65 for the week is very reasonable to park at the official parking I just want to know how convenient it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the $65 for the week is very reasonable to park at the official parking I just want to know how convenient it is. Park N Cruise is a private company. They also charge $65 if you reserve online and you get to park inside. I am not real sure about the port parking. I know it is not real close to the port but they do have shuttles. We have never used them. Most all of the parking lots charge about $65 for the week. It is just up to you what type of parking you prefer. If you look at the Port of Galveston site, I believe they have most of them listed. Hope this helps you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistshar Posted February 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'm sorry! It is actually Galveston dot com that has the list of the parking lots available and prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy4themouse Posted February 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think $65 is a lot... EZCruise is only $48 with the code, and Discount Cruise Parking is only $35 prepaid and $55 drive up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park N Cruise is less if you park outside. We like to park indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jennellen Posted February 15, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 15, 2014 EZ Cruise is cheaper. However, there are lots of people to tip. They have someone on their lot loading your luggage, the driver, another person unload the luggage, and then there's the porters. So last couple of times, after adding all the tipping in, it ended up being the same or more than park N cruise. Of course, if you don't tip all those people, it is cheaper. I've used both. It's just a preference of which you like. Just providing information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Lover Posted February 16, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I made a reservation at Park N Cruise. It sounds convenient and I like the fact they have indoor parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
