Cruise Transfer Done Right
The Port of Galveston hosts 1.1 million cruise passengers a year on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney, and Norwegian sailings. Most arrive from Houston — from IAH, HOU, downtown hotels, or directly from home. The 50-mile transfer is straightforward in theory and a logistical headache in practice (Saturday boarding traffic, luggage handling, parking, return-pickup timing).
PLS has run this transfer thousands of times since 2008. Flat-rate, round-trip-aware, professional chauffeur, full luggage handling. Most clients book the entire week — pickup on Saturday morning, the chauffeur returns to retrieve you the following Saturday at the pier.
Why a Chauffeur Beats Driving Yourself
✦
Galveston cruise parking is $10–$25/day per car. A week of cruise parking is $70–$175 — plus the time-cost of walking from lot to terminal in 95° Texas heat dragging your bags.
✦
Most cruises board Saturday 11 AM–2 PM. I-45 South traffic that morning is intense. Our chauffeurs run this timing weekly — we leave Houston by 9 AM at the latest.
✦
Cruise families bring 1–2 large bags per person. A family of four = 8 bags. That is a Suburban or Escalade ride, not a sedan. We handle the luggage from your front door to the pier curb.
✦
Most clients book round-trip. We hold the same chauffeur and vehicle. They are at the pier 90 minutes after your published debark time — accounting for customs and luggage retrieval.
✦
Thanksgiving weekend, New Year sailings, spring break — same flat rate. No surge multiplier.
Galveston Cruise Pricing
Indicative flat rates one-way. Round-trip is approximately 15–20% less than two separate one-ways.
