Concierge from Galveston

[Texas_Buckeye]

Now, I realize what’s happening right now and things will change (sadly). I will have several questions after cruising resumes. However, one question that I’m hoping everyone can help with is this....due to the uncertainty of early sailing (February/March) next year, I moved my cruise from Miami to concierge out of Galveston, leaving next fall (late November). It’s listed as a Merrytime cruise. I have ALWAYS sailed Concierge, from Orlando, and know what’s going on. However, going from Galveston, I have no clue as what to expect. I tried to research, but only found postings from 2012/2013. Upon entering the Port Arrival, is there a “Special” check in, like Orlando? My mother will be with us and cannot walk long distance. Will there be a wheelchair available, like in Orlando? The service we received at Orlando was phenomenal and I didn’t know what to expect at Galveston. Any help???? I know we have to use private transportation from the airport to hotel and then to the terminal. I have always used Disney at Orlando. Like I said, I know changes are abound, but any background information will help. Thank you very much.

We have sailed Concierge out of Galveston. There is a dedicated Concierge/Platinum check in line. There is a concierge "lounge" area but it's just an area separated by partitions. Nothing fancy. I can't comment on wheelchair availability as no one in our party required one. We stayed at the Houston Airport Marriot the night before our cruise and I recall that we had Disney transfers from the hotel to the cruise terminal.

Just a note that we flew into Bush International, not Hobby. You are correct that you will need private transfers if you are flying in and out of Hobby.
