how early can we board the Grand in Galveston

[deec]

we arrive in Houston fairly early Saturday morning....realisticly how early can we board the Grand? Are there any good suggestions for speeding the process along other than our pre-printed boarding passes.

I am interested in this also as we plan to board and then disembark to pick up diet tonic water and a few other necessities.

In 2004 we were in our cabin by 11:30am, but in 2005 we weren't on the ship until 12:45pm. She was late coming into Galveston. We will be in line around 10-10:15am this Saturday with hopes of getting on the ship ASAP.

we also hope to buy some soda, wine and maybe a bottle of Bailey's..but if we cant get off the ship again we will have to try and get the purchases first...anyone know if it is true that you cant get off once checked in?

We have two cruises on the Grand and both times we were allowed to board around 11:45am.

Question for any of you previous Grand/Galveston cruisers.

 

Is there any problem with disembarking the Grand Princess in order to make a short shopping trip for mixers, etc?

 

We have done this in San Juan with no problem; but I have heard that it might not be possible in Galveston.

 

Thanks for any info,
