SDJen Posted December 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Trying to narrow down options for cruise in April and would appreciate any advice. Myself and my teenage daughter will need to get from Galveston back to IAH. We have a flight after 2 pm so trying to kill time on the ship and not the airport. Curious how the Carnival shuttle works? Do you have an assigned time/bus? Do you get your own luggage and put on the bus yourself? If anyone has done this and would share details I would appreciate it. I would rather pay a little more and not have to sit and wait at the port etc... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyStar Posted December 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I have not taken the Carnival shuttle from Galveston to airport, I did take one in Long Beach, CA and we set up luggage out and the driver put it away. We got off the ship late and grabbed a Carnival shuttle. They called us by airline and we got off in that order. It was very smooth. When we went back to IAH after our cruise, we used a private shuttle company. Be forewarned that fog can often delay the ship in the cruise port in Galveston. We were on RCCL last January and almost missed our 2:00 flight out of IAH due to fog. I will always self disembark at Galveston from now on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP is doing an April cruise. By then Galveston is well into spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can leave your luggage there and spend some time downtown at the shops and restaurants before taking a later shuttle to the airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
