Decali Posted September 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I have an early flight and early shuttle to the Galveston port that's going to put me at the pier during peak disembarkation time. My embarkation time is 11:00-11:30 but I'm in no big hurry to board. Does anyone know if I can find a porter and drop my suitcase and just hang out in the area for an hour or two?

CalaDragonflyLady Posted September 26, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I have known people that have done this but I have not. There's apparently at least one restaurant within walking distance :) When Is your cruise? I will be there October 29th :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decali Posted September 26, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'm going this weekend.....9/30. There's lots of good things to do to kill time near the pier. If you've never been then try to bake in some time there if you can and check it out when you go in Oct. It's a great port in that respect. I have no problem getting on a ship early but I would rather hang out in the immediate area in Galveston rather than do the hurry up and wait thing at the terminal but dragging around a suitcase would be a deal breaker.

timeinthesand Posted September 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 26, 2017 You will receive an email from carnival telling you or check in time is an hour later, 99% chance of that happening. You can do exactly as you said though, relax, don't worry, you will get onboard and have a great time! Oh, by the way, that's your check in time, it is not embark time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athankfulheart Posted September 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 26, 2017 You can drop your luggage with the porters before your check in window, right at the curb. Would that help ? There are plenty of places to walk and sight see a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nessachelle Posted September 27, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Starbucks is almost directly across Harborside Dr. So you could always go hang out there for a bit if you didn't want ti stay at the pier or drop your bags and take a short walk around downtown Galveston.
