tbrown801 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 We are flying in the day before our cruise but the hotels in Galveston are very pricey. Has anyone stayed in Houston and then taken a shuttle in the morning to the port? Do you have shuttle suggestions? Hotel suggestions? Have you used Uber? Cost form Hobby area?

Matt Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 It's not a bad plan, just be sure your means of getting to Galveton on the day of the cruise are rock solid/reputable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 This is exactly what I do. I stay near the airport using a hotel that has a free airport shuttle then Uber/Lyft down to the port in the morning. From Hobby expect in the area of $50-60 one-way depending on time of day and surge pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 ...and the one way drop off charge for using Enterprise (the only car rental agency on the island) was $250 for us over Labor Day. Ouch ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane S Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 There is a La Quinta and a Best Western Suites near Hobby Airport. Those are the ones I have had the best/cleanest experience with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
