Dream from Galverston

Where should I stay night before I am getting into Hobby Airport?  do I get a shuttle ?

If you've got one night and are a bit adventurous, you should shuttle in from Hobby (there are a lot of good options for this- we used Galveston Limo) and stay near the tourist area on the island. It's super walkable, has great food and things to do and experience to start your vacation.

 

That way, too, you're also close to the port (the port area is two blocks from the touristy downtown area) for the next day whenever you decide to go over.

I would suggest the Harbor House.  It is across Harborside Drive from the Strand.  It is also walkable to both Carnival cruise terminals.

We flew to Houston for our recent Carnival cruise. Got in late, stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn at Hobby (clean, mediocre breakfast) and used their airport shuttle to get to the hotel and back to the airport in the morning. We then hired Galveston Limo (shared van) to take us from Hobby to the Port. It was easy and more affordable for our family of 4 than paying Carnival to use their shuttle.
