Flying into Houston or Galveston

Rosie can also help you reserve your flights at great rates. If you reserve a flight on your own, plan to fly into Houston or Galveston airports. Galveston is the Hobby Airport and is more convenient to get to the port to board the ship. Plan to arrive at the port and board the ship between 12 noon and 2 pm on February 5th.  The ship leaves port at 4:00 pm.

Travel to the Port

Ask Rosie about transfers, cabs, shuttles from the airport to the port.
