The Bus Depot in the rendering is not a good sign for those hoping to park close by. Cruise parking currently up by Pier 1 and 2. No Chance of Royal building a garage like Port Canaveral? I’m sure someone will have parking there one way or another. There are lots of people who have bought land close to Pier 1 and 2 for private cruise parking. Same thing will happen with Pier 10 if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimate_ed Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Port-Royal-Caribbean-make-deal-for-third-14900202.php Seems like this story has been going forever, but it looks like all the i's are finally dotted and the t's crossed. Quote This terminal will be able to accommodate the cruise company’s largest ships, the Oasis class of vessels,which can hold roughly 6,600 guests, as well as Royal Caribbean’s future fleet of ships, the Icon class that will be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and use fuel cell technology. Can't wait to feel the Oasis and Icon love for Galveston! islandgrandma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1 Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 I for one am very excited. For anyone out west, this will make cruising so much cheaper and easier. I know people complain about ports but for me, it's all about the ship and I love Allure. twangster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambia-Zaire Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Will be interesting to see what other Royal ships port out of Gal, when Allure ports out of there. Will Enchantment & Liberty still base from there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny260 Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 I'm pretty sure, Liberty is for sure relocating, at least in the Fall of 2021. I looked at her bookings but forget where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Just found a deal on Harmony coming back from Barcelona. It overlaps with Allure.

Royal announced 2 weeks ago plans for Liberty in 2021 Galveston, then Miami: “ Adventurers looking to cruise from the Lone Star state in the summer on 2021 can sail on board Liberty of the Seas roundtrip from Galveston, Texas. The guest favorite will set course for the Western Caribbean on 7-night sailings before she transitions to Miami for the winter to offer 3-and 4-night Bahamas and Perfect Day at CocoCay itineraries.“ Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port of Galveston is building a surface parking lot at Pier 10 (new Terminal 3) as part of the deal. They will also build a new parking garage near the existing terminals and presumably offer shuttles to the new Terminal 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordell1 Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Probably true, but I was hoping for something different.
