Breeze debarking help

[jsvarp]

We have an early flight home, and now I'm nervous about making it! Please share any tips of how, when, and where to be to get off the ship ASAP. Yes, I'm aware there are zones, but I have no other options.

Self-assist debarks first. Handle your own luggage and off you go!

The Diamonds, then Platinums, then FTTF are told to go to a meeting place and we are the first to self assist off.

 

Then the decks are started to be called.

 

If I were you I would go down to deck 4 then when you see people start being let off the ship I would walk on down to deck 3 and debark.

 

As soon as you leave the cruise terminal the taxi queue is on the right curb. It's easy to be off the ship by 9am and it's about an hour taxi ride to Hobby.

Unless the Port of Galveston is closed to all traffic because of fog, as it was this morning. We are on the Valor right now at 11:00am still not alongside. The captain expects to be docked at 12:30pm. So we likely won't be on our way to the airport until at least 1:30pm.

 

I initially booked an 11:50am flight out of IAH but on advice from locals on Cruise Critic right after I booked I changed the flight to a 6:30 pm flight (that was the next available for us).

As noted above, Galveston is notorious for being closed due to fog during certain months.

There's no real secrets to getting off the ship early. You can get a early tag, planning to take all your luggage off with you and book a lower deck.

We were caught by the fog one year in Galveston. We didn't disembark until around 5. They fed us lunch. You couldn't see anything in the fog and the horns were blowing constantly.
