jana.kerns Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 We are staying in a hotel in Galveston the night before our cruise. Does Galveston have a cab service? and/or does it allow Uber or Lyft? (a way to get to the port basically!). Also - what time do you usually go to the Port in Galveston? (Liberty of the Seas) Would love to know any places we should eat/see while in Galveston! AnjaRenseby and DonaldpetrBiaft 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkuleleCruiser Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Many of the hotels offer to keep your car and include a shuttle to embarcation. We take advantage of that when we come down. We are sailing 12/26/16, and staying at the Galvez this time, but many less expensive hotels offer the shuttle as well.

RedRambler Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Ukulele: Did the Galvez have a 2 night minimum? I have been trying to make reservations online, but it says no available rooms. When I put in for 2 nights the rooms are amazingly available. jana.kerns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Also - what time do you usually go to the Port in Galveston? (Liberty of the Seas) I go early. Anytime before 11am will ensure you will be among the first to get onboard. jana.kerns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I have to agree with Matt. Go early, especially because the port area can get very congested. jana.kerns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galveston Steve Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 GetMe.com is the only rideshare company licensed to operate in Galveston. I have arrived as early as 9:45 am. Boarding typically starts around 11:00 am but can be later.

Ukulele.... we found the hotel online about 6 months ago, and it let us do just one night (saturday). Its the Best Western Plus Galveston Suites. Its not located as close to the port as many of the hotels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked it awhile ago, but no there was no 2 night minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
