Why visit Galveston
without experiencing a
few of its pleasures?
Add a little more fun
to a vacation by exploring
Galveston Island
pre-or post-cruise.
Exploring Galveston Island is a natural addition
to a cruise vacation. Carnival Cruise line offers
4, 5 and 7-day getaways while Royal Caribbean
offers 7-day seasonal cruises. With two major
cruise lines offering multiple Caribbean cruises
from Galveston, many vacationers enjoy
excursions on Galveston Island before or
after their voyage.
From the decks of the cruise ships, passengers
can easily see the charming Historic Downtown
District just one block from the cruise ship
terminals on Harborside Drive. The 36-block
district offers more than 100 shops, restaurants and galleries housed in beautiful Victorian
iron-front buildings. The area is also home
to the Texas Seaport Museum, 1877 Tall Ship
ELISSA and the Ocean Star Oil Rig Museum.
Don’t miss the Great Storm documentary film
shown every hour at Pier 21 Theatre above
Willie G’s restaurant.
Bargain shoppers will be pleased to discover that
many shops in the downtown district
offer discounts to cruise ship passengers
(simply present your cruise credentials as proof).

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:44:01 +0000 Fog Angst? Honey Badger Don’t Care! I was recently asked: “Why would cruisers stand in foggy dampness or sit in over-crowded terminals for hours waiting to board when they could be in a nice warm bar sipping “brewskies” and watching football, or simply out enjoying the Island?” Good question!
