I took that Cruise in August, when we arrived back in Galveston it took
quite a long time to disembark, we were traveling with a friend who had
parked his vehicle at the cruise terminal, I assume that this was part of
the reason for the later disembark, we were off the ship at about about
11:00am we had to get to the airport to fly out at 4:30 PM so we had plenty
of time, traffic at that time was light, I assume with the earlier flight,
they would let you off earlier.

If you friend had his car at the terminal, he would of been one of the
last ones off the ship. If this ever happens to you again, tell them
that he is driving you to the airport.
