Flight time: Houston/Bush from Galveston
We will be on the Rhapsody of the Seas, docking in Galveston at 8am on a
sunday. Is a 1:05 PM flight a good choice, it is an hour and a half from Galveston to Houston/Bush? thanks, sue |

We have a 1:10PM flight. We checked with Galveston Limousine Service & they said there would be no problem. They charge $60 ( $55 sr. citzn ) per person round trip. Maybe we can share the limo. Florence |

Maybe we can share the limo. Florence, I saw your post on cruise critic and was waiting to respond untill we had our plane tickets. Now we have plane tickets, so I can begin to think about ground transportation. Was Galveston Limo recommended to you, or did you find it on your own? Also do they have a website? $60/person round trip sounds like a good price. Do you have a hotel reservation yet? sue |

www.galvestonlimousineservice.com A while back there was a thread on Cruise Critic on this topic & many members recommended them, so I just bookmarked it. I'm leaning toward booking Best Western also. Got an AARP rate of $112 for Fri. nite & $144 for Sat.nite. I think it's cheaper than your rate because we're booking 2 nites. It's hard finding a good deal because it's Mardi Gras in Galveston that weekend. We really only need a clean place to sleep since we'll spend all day Saturday at Moody Gardens anyway. Florence |

Flight time: Houston/Bush from Galveston
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.

Florence and Sue,
That is a very good price for both ways! According to their schedule, you would have to be off the ship before 10AM. Depending on traffic and Houston can be very bad at times, you will probably have no problem making it in time for your 1:10 PM flights. Looking forward to seeing y'all! --Jean |

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. Thanks, sue |

Thanks, I will look into this and if we do book with galveston limo, I will be sure to tell them that we are traveling together. I'm leaning toward booking Best Western also.

Your price at BW for sat night is a little less then ours, we are paying about $160. You probably got a break because you booked for two nights. We have asked Lori to try to get the Tremont for us, if she can't at least we have the BW already booked. You are so right, the prices are high because of Mardi Gras. But at least we will be in NO for the real Mardi Gras. sue |

The price does look good and seems to be ok for the trip home. I am not sure the times would be right for our trip down to Galveston. Our flight gets into Bush a few minutes before 2pm and there is no way we would make the 2pm shuttle. Then the next shuttle is at 3:30, getting to galveston at 5:30. I am assuming that the limos arrive and leave on this fixed schedule? sue |

We'll have the same problem when we arrive in Houston on 2/20. Figure we'll take turns sitting with the luggage while the other goes to find somethig to eat. Don't feel like dragging suitcases thru the terminal. We won't get fed on the plane so we should be pretty hungry. By then we'll be ready for the 3:30 shuttle. Florence |
