- Come along with us as we drive down to Galveston, take a ferry , park at the garage and board the Carnival Dream. Our first time to sail on the same ship twice#carnivaldream #carnivalcruise #galveston
Thanx! We'll be setting sail on the Dream in February. Also, I've never been to Houston or Galveston before.
Galveston is a real easy port. I know you will have a great time
We board the Dream for the first time in January!! Can't wait!
It's a great ship. Our favorite!
I'm not fond of the embarkation process but I love the feeling I get when I walk on the ship. Thanks for posting!
me too. I guess the excitement out ways embarkation.
GPS was worried about you driving into the Gulf! Lol
I Know!! lol. too funny!!
Love the videos! Will be traveling on this ship for the first time in September! I am sooo excited!
I know you will enjoy it! Safe travels
The ferry props cut up fish that's why the birds swarm the rear of the boat. Next time go stand at the rear of the boat, bring a bag of cheetos, hold a cheeto out in the air. They'll cone take it out of your hand.
I would do that but I couldn't get Teresa our of the car!!! She is scared of birds!! lol
I like unpacking first too. Josh… not so much 😂
Can’t wait to see your adventure! Thanks for sharing and great vlog!
Thanks ! Yes love to unpack and get it over with!!
How much did the ferry and parking garage cost?
The ferry is free. The parking at the SMP parking garage was 20 dollars a day
@@TheTravelingGilberts Thank you
Great video. One question at what point did you get your sail and sign card?
Hey there Sonya! When they let everyone get to their room around 1pm The sail N sign cards are in the mail drop next to everyone's door No later than 1 usually
I always book a suite so I board first before the big crowds
Awesome. We have boarded early with Faster to the Fun. but we are about to turn Platinum so always board early after that
Hey, great video! How was the drive down there and getting on the same day? We are boarding the Disney Magic on Dec 1st, so wanted to get a gauge of how it is or whether to drive down the day before or the day of.
We enjoy the drive. It's around 6 hrs for us and not much traffic
Good to hear! You think it will be okay? We will be coming down from Dallas and parking at the express lot.
We have drove down the day of the cruise every time we have cruised out of Galveston
Thank you for this! We haven't cruised in 7 years and we're using the same parking garage. Seeing the most up to date info and cruise tips is very helpful.
Thanks so much Kristie that means a lot to us. We try to be helpful when we are not goofing around. lol
Never been to Galveston before. Love driving up and seeing that cruise ship! Let the fun begin
It was our first time out of Galveston. It wasn't bad.
Great information you guys. We are sailing from Galveston in 2024 for the first time and this helps. We enjoyed the Dream in 2017 😀
Thanks Dave! We try to avoid shuttles when we can. This was a great spot to park just remember if you park here or any of the spots without a shuttle ,the ships may park in opposite spots when they return I realized that the hard way LOL
I'm so ready to cruise right now
Me too!!
I use indoor port parking they have in closed parking locked up at night. The shuttle buses take you right over to the ship. And they are there when you get off the ship I am pleased that nobody can walkthrough the parking lot and brake into my car
That's cool. We may try it one of these days
Thank so much for all this information, It will be my first time and I was scare because my English is to poor and was difficult for me to fine information but you explained so well and I could understand very well because you speak clearly and slowly ❤. Thanks. I’m free of stress thanks to you.
Thanks so much! We are glad we could help. Have a great time!
Looking to sail out of Galveston on the carnival breeze at the end of June . Can’t wait!!! The good thing is I have relatives in the area and no need for a hotel 👍👍
We enjoyed the Galveston Port. It was very smooth when we were there. Have a great cruise. Be safe
Thank you for the details. I heard you say your check in time was 10:30 and you guys boarded the ship at 11:12. Do you know what time it was when you guys parked?
It was a little before 10. The walk over and check in took about 30 min. the delay was just boarding
Never been to Galveston port but we’re going on the Vista in February 2024 out of Port Canaveral
That is a big ship! I will sail her one day!
I’m so happy for this video! This has helped me a lot and this is the exact ship we will also be on
Thanks yall. We are back on the Dream next weekend! What about you?
What did it cost for you to park in that particular garage?
It was 20 a day. But sometimes you can get a discount code online
Thanks for this video. 47 more days and I'll be sailing away. Never sailed out of galveston.
You need to try it I have
It's really easy. Have a great trip!!
I really like it. Super simple
Thanks this helps a lot knowing the terminal a little before. We’re going on this cruise next May and be our second time cruise and on the Dream.
Thanks! We are so jealous! We love this ship so much ! Have a safe trip
@@TheTravelingGilberts we’re still debating on flying or driving right now. Probably be the same price with the way fuel keeps rising.
Great video. Thank you for sharing
Thank you!!
What time did you hit the road? (Road trips right before a cruise are the BEST)… it, literally, is one of our favorite parts of a holiday 😀
Never been on Horizon. Like the design style. I’d call it “glitzy craftsman”… but I’m not a smart man, so….🤪
We left our house around 3 We got down there a little before 9 We love just road trip vacations too. It's exciting for me to just go down roads here in Louisiana that I've never been down. It's a weird sickness
You have to get on a ferry to get to the port?
No we didn't have to take the ferry but it is a shorter trip from here in Louisiana
How much is parking?
20 a day. there are cheaper options, but they shuttle you to and from. We like the fact that we can just walk instead of waiting for a usually crowded shuttle
That’s $5 cheaper than New Orleans, plus your car is probably far safer from break in than in New Orleans.
@@humpty318 They say that the Galveston police department patrols the lots 24/7 Hope thats true
Sorry. Never ever will I entertain the idea of cruising. Everyone I know do it on the regular. I'm a) too scared. b) Disease is not my idea of how to be on a cruise. c) One day of travelling on a large boat is enough for me. I don't see the value.
Keep watching, maybe we will change your mind
I reserved smp garage in advance. How do you get through the gate if you booked in advance? Did you have to show anything?
You should have received a confirmation with the QR code. We printed ours, but you can just keep it on your phone if you prefer. There is a guy at the gate who checks you in.
@@TheTravelingGilberts okay awesome! Did they ever send another email closer to your cruise, I don’t have the confirmation email anymore so wasn’t sure if they would send something else or if I need to call parking at the port to get another email sent
They did not send another confirmation. I'd definitely contact customer service to get another confirmation.
We love Galveston Port we go out of there a lot we are only 4-1/2 hour drive away. great video thanks
we are about 6 hrs away but it was not a bad drive !!
