Alternative travel option:
For passenger convenience, safety and best service, the Port of Galveston encourages our cruise visitors to proceed directly to the cruise terminal complex to drop-off luggage and passengers. Porters are available to assist with luggage tags and directions to the parking lots, beginning the embarkation process. A free shuttle will return you to the terminal. Upon your return to the Port after your cruise, you have the option to return directly to the port-operated parking lots to retrieve your vehicle without your luggage, or you can depart the terminal area to the parking lots on a different port-operated shuttle with your luggage. Depending on when you disembark the ship, there may be a short to moderate wait for the luggage-capable shuttle. Please note that only lots marked on the map as Port of Galveston Lots A and B are secured, lighted parking lots monitored by the Port of Galveston Police Department. Private parking lots are not affiliated with the Port of Galveston. The Port of Galveston has no jurisdiction over private parking lots.
