There’s Schlitterbahn (sp). There is a drive-on ferry you can (hopefully you still can) ride, gift shops, etc.

You might find more at their website:

I am going on this cruise next month and want to know others opinions on the ship

I went on this cruise last August. It was pretty fun. Food was pretty good. Only one of the desserts was good…and that was the chocolate cake. A lot of teens on this cruise. The service wasn’t too good, which was disappointing. LOVELY excursions, make sure you check those out. Well all and all it was pretty fun, but I do hope you have more fun than I had!!!!

I am non US citizen, I have a valid passport. My visa has expired. I want to know if I can go on a cruise to cozumel, mexico. The ship departs from Galveston, TX and end also in Galveston, Tx. Do I need a visa to come back to US.

If your Visa has expired you are in the USA illegally. Sorry Bud , your question does not make enough sense for me to give you an answer.
Tooo many holes in the question.
Mexico may allow you , depending on your nationality, to come one way.
As for Do you need a visa to come back to the US? That`s it for me ……………… Good Night.

How long does it take a cruise ship to travel from Galveston to Cozumel?
It pertains to this category. Just curious because my boyfriend went on the cruise and the site said back by saturday,but it seems
unlikely.

A straight shot would be under 700 nautical miles. You can look up his exact cruise itinerary online if you know the ship and the date he left. A Saturday return is very common so there is no reason to doubt this.

I would guess that a 5-9 day cruise would be normal when going from Galveston to Cozumel.

Is there a list somewhere where I can tell what ships (that are museums) are where?
Ex.

USS Alabama – Mobile, Alabama
USS Stewart – Galveston, TX
I did google it, but I didn’t find what I needed. Thanks for being a

S-M-A-R-T A-S-S.

Got that? Kay.

This site lists a large number of US navy Museum ships, I can’t say if it is a complete list, but it is pretty thorough:

I am going on the Carnival Conquest leaving out of Galveston. We booked the basic state room. Are the bathrooms self-contained-meaning–is the toilet, shower, sink etc. all closed off from the rest of the bed and such or is just the toilet and shower in the bathroom and then the vanity outside?

The bathrooms are self-contained. Everything is inside the bathroom. The shower, sink/vanity, mirror and toilet. You have a door for privacy. It is usually a pretty good size bathroom.

Hope I helped!

What are the transportation options from Houston Intercontinental Airport to the Galveston cruise ports and how much do they cost.

That would be the Carnival Conquest and the Carnival Ecstasy.

The terminal is 70 miles from the airport. You can park there for $11.25 a day. You can take a taxi as well or rent a car one way. There are also transfers for a fee.
Please contact Carnival for price.

Hope I helped!

We want to know if while on the ship, will we be able to use the pool and things like that? I can check the weather in Galveston and the weather in Cozumel for when we leave and arrive, but I want to know the usual weather at sea while in the ship.

On board, you can feel the breeze blowing and sometimes it can be could, specially at night.

During the day, by noon hours the sun is shinning and the weather tend to be hot. I would say warm enough to cool yourself on the swimming pool with your favorite drink.

Make sure you bring your sunblock and swimming suit or you regret it!!!!

We want to know how to pack and what to dress in the day and evening times while in the ship. We are traveling at the end of year – 12/31 to 01/04.
Ok. We want to know if, for example, on January 1st, is sun tanning and swiming in the pool doable or will it be cold – during the day and evening.

The outside temperature will be warm, at least in the 80′s but the inside of the ship is air conditioned. I’m comfortable in short sleeves at dinner but many wear long sleeves, especially the ones that are from Florida. During the day I wear shorts and tee shirts. At the show after dinner you may want a shawl or sweater.
