ChessE4 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 You can look at All things Galveston thread. We got a hotel and parking package with shuttle to port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXcruzer Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 I have embarked form the new terminal multiple times now, I have been parking in the North Lot, right next to the terminal, works great.

wordell1 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 If you can get the covered parking in the north lot, you are literally at the terminal. emmef, cruisellama, bobroo and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimnKathy Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Port Parking provided us reasonable covered, secured parking for our 7-night Allure sailing last month. Total cost including tax for the week was $131.53 and they provided shuttle service both to and from the terminal...easy peasy.

Same here. And we usually are able to get a spot close to the covered parking if we get there with early boarding times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi! Can you tell me if there is an "indoor" option for parking in Lot 14? I have tried to find the answer to this but can't find it anywhere. When I start to reserve parking, there is an option in Lot 14 for Indoor. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the port was able to convert one of the warehouses next to pier 14, outlined in Red on picture When they first opened it around March or April of this year you could not find much about on their web site, haven't looked lately though, and you have to take the Port's shuttle from all of Pier 14 parking I believe, they will not let you walk to the Terminal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy4disney Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Maybe one of you who has parked in one of the North lots can help me out... In this picture is the North Premium lot everything from the obvious division on up, and below that is the regular North lot? I would think so, but then I'm confused because I thought the premium lot was all covered, and there are plenty of uncovered spots in that section. I hemmed and hawed too long over the cost of the premium (it's a lot!) and now it's sold out, but the regular North lot is still available. We don't care about covered parking, though, just distance -- and if those uncovered spots are just considered part of the regular North lot then I'll jump on that while I can.

LizzyBee23 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 We stayed at an Airbnb in the Strand that offered cruise parking. With two families and two cars, it was by far the cheapest option for an overnight stay and parking. Would have been walkable for a Carnival cruise, ended up getting a ride to the RCL terminal (though a motivated person with little luggage could also walk).

Hince57 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 for port of galveston cruise parking (any port), use promo code SUMMER23 for $10 off (valid until 30 June) for any future sailing. deButler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the uncovered are the normal North lot spots. The South lot is across the street at the bottom right of the picture. Terminal 14 parking is off the screen to the left. The North lot is definitely walkable from anywhere. I personally walk from the South lot as well as the distance isn't that far, it just doesn't have a marked cross walk for the street crossing. crazy4disney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jupiter03 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Just got back Sunday. I reserved the north lot (not premium). I thought I would be able to enter the north lot through the left entrance (red X), but that was blocked. They routed me all around as I've indicated with the red line. There were uncovered spots open below the covered spots, but they routed me to the left after scanning my code, so I'm not sure if those were all premium parking spots. We were able to still get a great spot and it was a very short walk. Note, you can't walk straight through the covered parking spots to the ship, as there is a fence blocking you. There are two crosswalks to get from the parking to the building, which I've indicated in blue. There were porters available near the crosswalk, so I didn't have to drag the heavy luggage very far. crazy4disney, Guy Gadwa, WAAAYTOOO and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisellama Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 We booked early for the covered parking. To me well worth it for the short walk and cooler car when we returned. luv2sail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask around what time you got to the lot? Good picture. If you purchase the premium covered lot, they will route you to the right middle of the pavilion where you get a second scan to enter the covered parking. We arrived about 1015a (we had a 1030 boarding window). The "X'd" entrance was blocked and so we had to drive past the terminal to access just as you highlighted.

Scatmanjack Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 The yellow fence railing under the covered parking was new for us. It was not there in March 2023 but it was present last week... Just have to adjust your walking pattern... Still a great parking option... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezie57 Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Just returned from our cruise yesterday. From leaving the terminal to getting in our car in the covered North Lot was less than 5 minutes. Yes, it does cost more but it was worth it to have a hassle free get away after being on a cruise.
