Galveston Hotels - Transportation Morning of Cruise

[kristie64063]

Hi All :)

 

We are taking a shuttle from HOU to our hotel the day before we cruise to a local Texas City / Galveston Hotel. I'm trying to find the best prices of course, there are only a couple that I can find hotels that actually shuttle, even in Galveston.

 

So your advice ... if we go from Texas City to cruise port, our transportation could be pricey; but hotels on Galveston aren't cheap. Found one that was, after taxes, $195 per night that looked decent. Doesn't have to be amazing, just clean. But it didn't provide shuttle, so we're still out cab fare... And there are 5 of us, plus luggage, so it won't be cheap.

 

What do you all think??

 

Thanks in advance for your advice! :)

In January we cruised on the Breeze and we stayed in Texas City at the Comfort Inn because the hotels were so expensive in Galveston.

The morning of the cruise we got Uber to pick up at our hotel and take us to the port in Galveston. The ride for 4 people was $19.00.

Definitely way cheaper than a taxi would've been

How did you get back to the airport after the cruise? It's my understanding that Uber will not pick up in Galveston. Thanks!

That's a good point , i always though Uber could pick up as long as it's from the regular drop offs and pickup where non commercial cars would be ( i.e. Where your parents or friends would drop/pick up)

 

Does anyone know ? Thanks

Thank you so much for posting this - I had thought they did not allow Uber in Galveston from previous posts I had read.

That's what we had heard as well. It could have been that we were picked up in Texas City and dropped off in Galveston. But we didn't have a problem and our driver didn't say anything
