Accidentally purchased Hobby transfer instead of HIA


Recommended Posts

So I realized about an hour ago that my flight is into HIA and not Hobby. However I purchased transfers from and to Hobby. The problem is my flight leaves tomorrow at 5am and Carnival is currently closed… is there any chance they will allow me to switch airports or am I going to have to Uber my way from one to the other?  
 

Any advice is appreciated.

Are you sailing tomorrow as well?  What time does your flight get in?  IAH is about 30-45 minutes further away from Galveston than Hobby.  I would try to call Carnival first thing in the morning and see if you could work something out.  You can always go down to the baggage claim area and find the Carnival representative and see if they can help.  If not then an Uber may be your best bet.  You may also be able to check with Galveston limousine and see if you can get a ride with them.

We used Galveston Express!

 An uber will be about $25o.

Good luck! 

How did that work out? I have booked them for January.

worked great and reasonable. Just a heads up they park in a parking lot across the lanes where cars and other buses arrive.

Thanks! I am flying into HOU Hobby so I am not sure if you did or not. But they seem reasonable for a almost 40  mile ride from HOU.

Seconded for Galveston Express. It's much more reasonable than the Cruise line transfer and Carnival uses them anyway. From HOU, they also park across in the parking garage but the driver will explain how to get there (it's very easy).

 

I will say, though, upon pickup from the port on the last day we did have to wait quite a while for the non-carnival transfer Galveston Express bus. There were also three(?) ships in port and the Royal terminal had just opened a bit before, so it was a mess overall.
