Bayport Terminal lines

[Sat1]

Will be arriving on a Princess Shuttle, and use a walker. Are there any special lines for us to use. In Galveston, special passengers, move to the entrance, for faster processing. Thanks.

When is your cruise? I don't recall anything other than special early group boarding, but I will be sailing out of Bayport in about 3 weeks and can be on the lookout for it.

I think that you are directed to the priority line (Elite, Platinum and suites) when you first enter the terminal. I am not positive because we were in a suite when we cruised from there a couple of weeks ago. This is for the security check. The first check in line is dedicated for accessible processing and has some seating for passengers. Those needing wheelchair assistance or otherwise using mobility devices board immediately after the above listed priority passengers.

 

If you have any other questions, I will try to answer. I use a rollater walker.

Thank you, LesaL, I also use a rollator.

Thank you, but not until March 30!

Would you mind explaining the process for suite check in at the Bayport terminal? Have never been here before and will be on a NCL cruise next month, sailing in a 2 bedroom suite which gets priority boarding. This will be the first time I've sailed in a full suite so curious how the process works.

My suite experience was the first Princess sailing this season. I will describe that boarding process in the expectation that NCL is similar.

 

Suite and other Priority enter the terminal at the door farthest to the right facing the terminal. There is signage indicating the entrance. Once through security check, you proceed into the main terminal space and proceed to the line designated for Priority passengers. Once you have completed check in, there is a private lounge area to wait until boarding begins. This is assuming you arrive before boarding starts.

 

The lounge is opposite the check in counters and very comfortable. Coffee, tea and pastries are available there. Once boarding is allowed, a representative alerts the waiting lounge passengers and escorts them to the entrance of the gangway.

 

A very pleasant start to the cruise.

Thanks for the info. I'm getting very excited. Only a few more weeks before our cruise.

Oops, I just reviewed what I wrote. It is the left-most door facing the terminal, not right. Glad I could help.

I thought it was the left side. But I been wrong before. Thanks for the clarification.
