INFORMATION FOR FIRST TIME CRUISERS:
Galveston's Cruise Ship Terminals operate almost in the same manner as many Airport Terminals. Passengers are screened and baggage x-rayed. That being noted, what should you do with your large size baggage before going to passenger check-in? Without question, (per the cruise lines) it has to be checked at baggage to be x-rayed before being taken aboard ship.
(Recommended action before parking) You can drop-off passengers and larger size baggage at the terminal. Just drive to the terminal where your ship is docked. The cruise lines have porters for your convenience, if needed.. This can be done from the comfort of your vehicle before parking. After taking advantage of the drop-off, most customers appreciate that the cruise lines offer this assistance.
Over-size baggage must be checked at "baggage." Only smaller sized items will fit thru x-ray machine at passenger screening. Also, your passengers may go to security check-in while you park. Usually that may be easier and more convenient for everyone. It won't take long to rejoin your party after parking. The cruise terminal is a relatively small facility and easily navigated. Basically, no one becomes "lost."
Reservations may be made now through December 13, 2020, for 7 night cruises beginning Saturdays or beginning Sundays.
Saturday and Sunday Hours at the Lot: OPEN 7:00 A.M. Close 2:00 P.M.
