We have a reservation for parking at Pier 14.  Is that walking distance to RCCL?

 

Yes

Pier 14 "walking distance".  SSB is right as always, but just wanna ensure scale (and heat).  If you are able-bodied and have a concise amount of luggage with quality wheels, etc - for sure.

 

If you have young kids, older folks, out of shape folks, people sensitive to the heat/sun, you pack like we do with 6-8 steamer trunks of luggage, it is July/Aug heat/humidity in Galveston, raining, etc - then it can be a pretty long haul.

 

There are shuttles, but yes, sometimes there is a wait for the next one and you have to "load on" your luggage.

 

 

It is a good 500 yards from the open lot, maybe another 150yds from the covered section.

Thanks for compliment.
Drop bags and fellow passengers off at terminal , then circle back around to garage . Then Walk or transfer shuttle over to meet others and walk  in together at terminal. Check in bags are already on way to ship .

Google says .5-mile walking.  but it would be along a busy road and if summer very hot.  They have a shuttle from there.

There are good walking paths not in traffic from parking to terminal .
