Cruise from Galveston- Hotel & Transfers
I'll be cruising on the Splendour of the Seas in Feb. which leaves out of Galveston. My air goes into Houston-Hobby (36 miles away). Does anyone have suggestions for hotels and transfers (taxi's vs limo svc), prices for the day before stay?

Bridget:<BR><BR>My sister went on a cruise out of Galveston and they stayed at the Tremont Hotel in the Strand District. They either walked or took a cab to the port since the hotel was very close by. This hotel is a bit pricey, but it was their honeymoon, afterall.<BR><BR>If the Tremont isn't up your alley, then I'm sure there are plenty of hotels in the Galveston area which you could stay at and then take a cab to the port.<BR><BR>An option for getting from Hobby to Galveston would be the Galveston Limo (it's a shuttle service). I don't have contact info, but you might find them on the web in the yellow pages for Galveston. They do runs from Galveston to Hobby and pick up/drop off passengers all along the way. I've used them (they've been around a long time) and they're very reliable.<BR><BR>Have fun!

We're cruising on the Splendour in Feb. and trying to find transportation from Houston-Hobby to Galveston. Someone said hire a town car etc to drive us. Does anyone know who to contact for this. There are 4 of us and 2 children and we'd prefer to travel on our schedule, rather than the Galveston Limo. Would appreciate any suggestions.
