    Shipping to Port Galveston

    While I am far from an expert and have not actually done this yet, I did phone DCL and ask for the information. I will be shipping a box to port next week for the Jan. 4 sailing of the Magic. Keep in mind I am from Canada and that is why I am shipping so early. I had looked in the information...

    Have any Galveston cruisers sent a box to thr port?

    I saw this post yesterday and I don't know that I am a great person to offer an answer but I did phone DCL to ask this question as I too have a box to send down. I talked to the shoreside concierge and they told me to put my ship name, my name, sail date, staeroom # and packing slip listing the...

    Pros/Cons/Personal Experience Booking Air thru Disney

    I am certainly not an expert as this will be our first cruise but I struggled with your problem when I did our bookings. I ended up going with the flight though Disney as it will be winter in Canada and weather was a huge concern as we will most likely have to transfer in Toronto, and we are...

    Help me choose.. Magic or Fantasy!?!?!

    Hi there, we booked a Jan 4, 2013 8 night Western from Galveston that does stop at CC. It is one of the reasons we booked the 8 night. Would this be an option for you? We struggled with Western vs Eastern, with having to fly to wither port, the decision came down to $$. The Western was quite...

    January 4th, 2013- 8 night Western out of Galveston

    Hi there, we too are booked onthis cruise! Strangely enough we too were looking at Hawaii, though not on a cruise. Decided a cruise would be simpler and better with our kids. This is our first cruise, not just our first time on Disney. I have been watching to see if anyone else was on this...

    Port of Galveston

    We are a family of 5, I don't generally run into trouble with rooms, but it seems to be a bit of a problem in this case. Every hotel I look at and try to see the rates is telling me I need 2 rooms. I like the vacation house idea but am not sure if only staying for 2-3 nights would be long...

    Port of Galveston

    Lots of places to consider but the problem is we exceed the room capacity at most of these places, thinking I might have to phone to see if they have larger capacity rooms. We are thinking of taking some sort of town car/bus transportation from Houston to Galveston when we arrive rather than...

    Port of Galveston

    Brown, hmmmmm not really what I expected, do people swim in it? We are from Dewberry, Alberta. It is in northeastern Alberta. We have a 10 year old daughter and two sons, 3 and 2. First cruise and really excited even though it is a little over 10 months away.

    Port of Galveston

    Thanks you guys, new to this and not sure if I should wait for DCL to release pricing or book sooner rather than later. I am going to check out Hotel Galvex as we would love to stay on the beach, kind of a novelty as we will be in the midst of winter then up here!

    Port of Galveston

    Hi there, we are new to cruising in general but are setting sail on the Magic Jan 4, 2013 on the 8 day Western Caribbean. I realize that DCL doesn't start booking resorts/hotels until August 2012 sometime. I am wondering if anyone has recommendations of a great place to stay in Galveston for a...
