******IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT AVAILABILITY FOR CRUISE PARKING BEGINNING AUGUST 6, 2022******
Effective August 7, 2022 through September 30, 2022, Cruise Park will not have cruise parking available.
We will be doing some work on the lot and must utilize the parking spaces. We regret any inconvenience.
and thank-you your patronage.
October 1 reservations are now available on the calendar.
Please note: Parking must begin on a Saturday or Sunday and return on the following Saturday or Sunday.
Currently, the only ships being served are the Carnival Dream, Carnival Vista, and RCCL Liberty of the Seas.
When Royal Caribbean moves to Pier 10 in November, 2022, the distance from our lot to pier 10 is a bit over a mile. Without transportation to the terminal, getting to the RCCL terminal is not manageable.
The Port allows LYFT to transport passengers to and from the terminals, but that would be an additional charge to the customer. Not sure what the charge for a round trip would be.
Saturday and Sunday Hours at the Lot: OPEN 7:00 A.M. Close 2:00 P.M.

If you are limited in your walking ability, CRUISE PARK asks that you please take note of the following before booking.
From our lot, the distance to the cruise terminal pedestrian crosswalk at 25th Harborside Drive is 1400 feet.
For most people, that distance is about 5-7 minutes walk, average pace, taking New Strand to Harborside Drive. At Harborside, you can cross the street to get to your cruise ship.
Look at the Google map at the top. The "satellite view" gives an excellent orientation of the area.
There is no need to struggle with baggage. The easiest way to handle baggage and accommodate other people in your party is to go directly to the terminal and drop off baggage. It usually takes only a few minutes. Per the cruise line regulations. all large size baggage must be checked before boarding.
Thanks for considering Cruise Park!

FIRST TIME GALVESTON CRUISERS INFORMATION.
Galveston's Cruise Ship Terminals operate almost in the same manner as many Airport Terminals. Passengers are screened and baggage x-rayed.
(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..
Over-size baggage must be checked at "baggage." Only smaller sized items will fit thru the x-ray machine at passenger screening. Also, your passengers may go to security check-in while you park. 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."
BOOKING CALENDAR NOTATION
"If a Saturday or Sunday is half red and half green (in that order) on the booking calendar, you can reserve parking for the week that is green. If the Sunday is totally red, parking is not available for that date."
If you are cruising back to back, the reservations will require a separate reservation for each week.
