lovestocruise19 Posted August 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2014 DH and I are thinking of taking the Carnival bus to the airport after our cruise. We are on the Freedom repo cruise so the bus would be taking us from Galveston to Houston. My question is, what time does the bus (buses?) usually leave the port? I've heard that the bus doesn't leave until it is full. Does anyone know what approximate time that would be? Just curious as I'd much rather spend my last few precious minutes of my cruise on the ship and not stuck in a bus waiting for others to arrive. On the other hand, we don't want to miss the bus either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief93 Posted August 19, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have used the bus several times in Galveston. You dont have to wait. The buses fill up quickly. I've always been headed to Hobby, not IAH, but I would think it would be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovtotravel2 Posted August 19, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2014 You will bet a time to leave and find lots of buses, they load as fast as they can get the luggage on board the bus and they are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr3939 Posted August 19, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2014 At Pt Canaveral in January we had to wait about 15 minutes for the bus to fill up. We just missed the prior bus and were first ones on the next bus. So obviously we had to wait for everybody to board and load luggage. But still it filled up quickly. They are all lined up next to each other so it's just a matter of going to the next queue and getting on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tncap Posted August 19, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) I think I was zone 2 debarkation in Galveston and was the last one on the first full shuttle. We left pretty early. Edited August 19, 2014 by tncap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovestocruise19 Posted August 19, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted August 19, 2014 DH and I always do self assist which gets you off the ship pretty early. I just didn't want to be stuck waiting for the non self assist people to get their luggage, come through customs and then get on the bus. Although I suppose other self assist people might be using the bus too. Is it easy to find? Is the one that goes to Hobby clearly marked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tncap Posted August 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) I was escorted directly to it. The same shuttle goes to both airports, it just stops at Hobby first then proceeds to Bush. Edited August 20, 2014 by tncap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
