JimAOk1945 Posted September 15, 2015 #101 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Requires you to be a digital subscriber for the full article and pictures. Sorry about that! :o I'm not a subscriber. I found the article by doing a Google search for "houston chronicle galveston terminal." I did the same search again just now, that the top of the page says it is a "free access view." There is a complete article with pictures if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary2835 Posted October 2, 2015 #102 Share Posted October 2, 2015 We just got back from a B2B out of Galveston on Navigator. It looks like they have been moving some dirt around and I'm not sure, but I saw a passenger gangway sitting on the north end that was not there before we left. It was not connected to anything.

ssb Posted October 2, 2015 #103 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I hope the Port Of Galveston is on top of temporary enhancements for arrival of Liberty November 13, 2015. I drive by terminal often. As of this week, my optimism is not abound for evidence of progress! :confused: But there is hope still, not much faith, for making the arrival a successful event ! We will not be able to give last minute updates on progress, for we and the rest of Galveston, it seems, are bringing in the Liberty! We will have first hand knowledge of the experience though!

Wilson Posted October 2, 2015 #104 Share Posted October 2, 2015 In our case we have until May before we board Liberty. If they continue to have delays we are confident they will be ready for us in Nov 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrikeEagle Posted October 6, 2015 #105 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Thank you for the updates, please continue to do so as you see things progress. I'm sailing on Liberty on Nov. 22nd, this year. Hopefully they will have something temporary to accommodate the larger ship for embarkation/disembarkation. It would be nice to have one of the Galveston cam point to that construction site. http://www.galveston.com/webcams/ Edited October 6, 2015 by StrikeEagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssb Posted October 7, 2015 #107 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) This is a great idea! I think I'll suggest it! "The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." William Arthur:) I like ! --------------------------------------------- We have and always adjust to sails. But Galveston is our home port, And it does not always make up us proud! Adjusting cam is great idea. Happy sails everyone ! Since we on the repo, I will give you last minute report before leaving for Ny and first minute report on arrival back in Galveston, Edited October 7, 2015 by ssb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your updates are very much appreciated by all of us. It's nice to hear you are going on a repo cruise. That is something on my bucket list. Smooth sailing and calm seas during your cruise!

What is the purpose of the tent? Is it for check-in or is it a shaded shelter to wait inline to enter the building? Thanks Edited October 15, 2015 by StrikeEagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssb Posted October 16, 2015 #112 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Thanks for the update. What is the purpose of the tent? Is it for check-in or is it a shaded shelter to wait inline to enter the building? Thanks Hopefully they use temporary tent for shaded area for waiting and seating and check in , And then the old check in area for moving people off ship to disembarking passenger holding area and expanded baggage Claim. But BIGGEST issue will be not RCCL or Terminal , It will be whether Custom and Immigrations expands there area, functions , personnel , and services . C&I ALWAYS causes the back up and time delay.

ssb Posted October 19, 2015 #114 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Since Liberty repo is coming into Galveston on a Friday 13th, and hopefully a second cruise ship will not be in port, to make for smoother disembarkation .

I'm planning to drop off our check-in luggage directly at that place instead of going through the porter because last time I waited forever to find a available porter. We'll be on LOS on the Thanksgiving week. Thank you Edited October 30, 2015 by StrikeEagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted October 31, 2015 #120 Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) ssb, When you return, please post lots of pictures of terminal area and anything else you think will be helpful and interesting. I appreciate your updates. Good work! Edited October 31, 2015 by JimAOk1945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifihadaboat Posted November 5, 2015 #121 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Please take pictures especially the place where we check-in our luggage. I'm planning to drop off our check-in luggage directly at that place instead of going through the porter because last time I waited forever to find a available porter. We'll be on LOS on the Thanksgiving week. Thank you Luggage drop off will be in the same place. I am sorry to hear about your difficulty with a porter. I believe that the white tents will be used for guests who have checked in and are waiting for boarding. Liberty is a larger vessel and carries a lot more passengers that the Navigator ships that have been sailing out of Galveston previously. I have no doubt that RCL will be making every effort to give you a good embarkation experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary2835 Posted December 20, 2015 #123 Share Posted December 20, 2015 We just got back from our cruise last week end. Construction on the terminal is in full swing. They were pouring the foundation during our cruise, and trucks were unloading on Sunday during the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
