s (The most requested pick up time, at the Port of Galveston, is 8:30 to 10 am. The cruise ships normally dock around 7:30 am or earlier. Disembarkment usually begins 1 hour after docking (8 am at earliest and 8:30 am for those beginning to disembark in the first group. Disbursements can be quicker if you take your own luggage off the ship. Some ships are slower to disembark than others and may have customs lines and issues. Canadians are usually placed in the International line which takes quite a bit longer than US lines. We realize some of you may have early flights, and there should be no problems if you are off the ship in time to make it to the airports. Hobby (30-40 minutes) Bush IAH (60-75 minutes). Getting into the Port area can take time as the area is small and traffic gets backed up taking an additional 10-15 minutes to pick you up. The quicker you can call us the quicker we can get to you.

We provide 1 hour wait time free of charge at the Port (from appt. time), after that, we charge $30 per hour wait time. We usually can not arrive earlier at the Port as our offices are in Houston and we are about 1 hour to 1.5 hours from the Port. You may be waiting at the Port for an hour or so for pick up if you get off the ship early. There is a Starbucks across from the Port and you can wait there if you like. Also, the Tremont Hotel (a few blocks from the Port) serves coffee and usually will store your luggage if you wish to stay on the island a few hours after your disembark. We can pick you up at most locations on the island. However usually not directly across from the port. Flights leaving Houston are usually either before noon or later in the evening.

Please keep in mind that we are 1.5 hours from the port and therefore it is difficult to move your time up or change the time of day of your trip. We have numerous clients each Saturday and Sunday and usually follow the established schedule made a reservation time. We will try to accommodate your request for earlier times, but this is not guaranteed due to the distance and number of clients.

Please turn on your cell phone as soon as you can upon docking in Galveston. The driver will have your phone number and may call for your disembarkment status. Once you are off the ship, please call the driver and provide your location (see letters hanging off the building) at the terminal so that the driver will be able to find you and your group. Terminal A (letters A – H) and Terminal B (letters M – ?). It is better to wait towards the end of the building for pickups as drop-offs usually occur at the beginning of the building.  The new RCCL Terminal has numbers 1-6 for drop offs (front of building) and 7-15 for pick ups (side of building).

Definitely contact the main office at 832-896-1748 (Susan) and your driver if you will be late with your disembarkment. It will be difficult to contact you if you do not have your telephone on. Please make sure to charge your phone before disembarking and if you need to use another phone, it may be hard to reach you. As long as you keep your driver in the loop you should have no problems.
