Likely around early 2021.

That would make sense, since the plans for Galveston include construction of a third terminal, capable of accommodating an Oasis-class ship. The port has always been highly successful, given the number of people who can drive there, coupled with Southwest Airlines flying into Hobby Intl. Airport (HOU), much closer to Galveston than Bush Intercontinental (IAH). There also isn't the hassle of Ft. Lauderdale or Miami, so if the Western Caribbean is your destination of choice, it's all good. Rumor has it that the Oasis will be sailing year-round out of Galveston beginning in 2021, so the Liberty drydock date seems in line with the plans. Having sailed from Galveston on Vision-, Voyager- and Freedom-class ships (somewhere around a total of fourteen cruises, with three more scheduled), 2021 can't get here fast enough.

This is a joke - right?🤔

You've got to be kidding.  I would GLADLY take whatever hassle there is flying into Ft. Lauderdale (or any Florida port for that matter) over the hassle of flying into Galveston for a cruise.
