Arrival time at Galveston Port

By Joannawog , March 23, 2019 in Carnival Cruise Lines

Recommended Posts

25+ Club

We have a 12-12:30 check in time, but my question is what time can we arrive at the port?  Before they started the check in online and pick your arrival time, we would arrive by 11.  Any advice here?

10,000+ Club

Just before 12:00.

Check in times are enforced.

Unless you are FTTF, or have priority boarding.

Like

You can arrive at the port as early as you'd like. How soon you'll get into the terminal will depend on the line filled with those who showed up on time (who will get in first) and how many others showed up early (or late) who will have to wait.

DukeASUGirl

On our October cruise, we got there at 10:45 and hung out for a while outside taking photos along the water until about 11:30. We had a 12:30 check-in, but they let us right in with no problems whatsoever. This was at Long Beach, though.

Cool Cruiser

I cruised out of  Galveston just last week. I had a 12:30 arrival time, but I had FTTF.  I arrived at about 11:30. There was a huge line but I got to bypass that with FTTF.  After we got upstairs the loading zones were full of people waiting. There were no more seats in the FTTF holding area so we had to stand. Then at 12:30 they started letting people on. It worked out okay because we boarded first out of the FTTF because we were standing, we were the first ones to walk out of the holding area.  What I learned from this. If I do not have FTTF I will wait to get to the port.  Sitting around in that crowded waiting area would be miserable.l I'd rather be out walking around the strand or something.  So... get there early if you don't mind sitting around. 

mvaughn11

We checked in on Vista 2 weeks ago today. We did not have FTTF. Our checkin time was 12:00 to 12:30. We arrived at 11:40. There was no line. We walked right in, checked in and walked all the way onto the ship. No waiting in a loading zone. We were on board before 12:00.

I was on the Valor and it was packed for spring break they didn't start boarding until 12:30   Maybe it depends on when you go?   I'm going on the Dream in October and have FTTF.  I'm not sure when we will show up then. 

250+ Club

My advice- sleep in the morning of, have a nice breakfast, take your time getting to the port around 12:00.  Otherwise, you may be forced to wait, possibly outside in the sun.  With nowhere to sit.  It's been three years now, but when we sailed from Galveston in 2016 they specifically checked our arrival time on our boarding passes.

Good luck and have a great cruise!

If you show up at 1100 you will go through the early late line. Your time in line will minimal. Check in downstairs, go through security, head upstairs to your boarding zone, and wait for the announcements.

This is good to know.  We don't plan to arrive early but just in case.  This same scenario happened to us at Long Beach last year; we didn't expect to get on board earlier than our check in but they were very nice and let us aboard early due to no lines.

News Release

Heads of agreement authorizes $600 million transformation of grand bahama shipyard.

Expansion will help the shipyard regain its position as the largest cruise ship repair facility in the world

FREEPORT, Bahamas – Aug. 29, 2024 –  Today, the Government of The Bahamas signed a Heads of Agreement with Grand Bahama Shipyard, Ltd., authorizing a $600 million transformation project that positions The Bahamas and the shipyard as global leaders in cruise and commercial shipping vessel repair. The project is expected to bring billions of dollars in economic impact to Grand Bahama’s economy over the next 25 years and making it the largest cruise ship repair facility in the world. “This landmark agreement signals a bold new chapter for Grand Bahama and our entire nation,” said Prime Minister the Hon. Philip Davis K.C. “The $600 million investment in Grand Bahama Shipyard not only secures our place as a global leader in maritime repair but also lays the foundation for sustained economic growth and job creation for Bahamians. We are committed to ensuring that the benefits of this transformation are felt across the island and that Grand Bahama continues to rise as a pillar of our national economy.” “Our administration has maintained a laser focus on restoring economic vitality to Grand Bahama Island with major, complex investments and smaller, boutique operations,” said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation the Hon. I. Chester Cooper. “That commitment continues today with this development signaling a sea change in Grand Bahama’s prospects for growth. This monumental step won’t be the last, as there’s much more to come for Grand Bahama Island, whose fortunes are inextricably tied to the fortunes and future of our entire Bahamas.” Minister for Grand Bahama the Hon. Ginger Moxey M.P. added that: "This $600 million dollar investment by Grand Bahama Shipyard Limited strengthens our island's position as the 'Home of Maritime and Logistics.' We are excited to work with all partners to build a brighter future for Grand Bahama, confident that this investment will bring unparalleled spin-off opportunities and prosperity for generations to come." Building on a History of Close Collaboration According to the Grand Bahama Shipyard, Ltd. shareholders, the development reinforces a commitment to the community and the nation that began 24 years ago when in 2000 Carnival Corporation & plc, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd, and Grand Bahama Port Authority founded Grand Bahama Shipyard. “I am proud of our enduring partnership with The Bahamas and the progress it has yielded over the decades,” said Jason Liberty, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group. “By working closely together on the Grand Bahama Shipyard transformation project we are deepening the impact of this significant industrial investment and ensuring it reaches beyond our industry to create long-lasting opportunities for the Bahamian workforce and local communities.”Josh Weinstein, president, CEO and Chief Climate Officer of Carnival Corporation & plc. said: “For decades, we’ve worked side-by-side with The Bahamas to foster economic growth and community impact through cruise tourism. Our investment in the Grand Bahama Shipyard transformation advances those efforts, establishing The Bahamas as the global epicenter of ship repair and a vital service provider for cruise and commercial shipping fleets.” “The Grand Bahama Port Authority is committed to fostering a stronger, more connected Freeport economy that benefits Bahamians and the Grand Bahama Shipyard transformation delivers across every measure,” said Rupert Hayward, Director of the Grand Bahama Port Authority, Limited and the Grand Bahama Shipyard, Limited. “This expansion not only positions Grand Bahama at the forefront of global ship repair, but it also promises sustainable economic impact for local businesses and the community. We look forward to the positive ripple effects on Freeport’s important and growing economy.” Since breaking ground in late 2023 on the transformation project, steel has been cut on two-world class floating docks and preparations have started for their delivery to Freeport in 2025 and 2026. The docks — the largest in the world — will allow the shipyard to service the entire range of cruise ships in operation and under construction, as well as much of the world’s commercial shipping fleet. Expansion to Create Employment Opportunities for Bahamians As the largest private non-tourism employer in The Bahamas, the expansion of shipyard operations will further support Bahamians, local businesses, and contractors, creating hundreds of full-time jobs at the shipyard once it is in full operation. “At the shipyard we are managing the infrastructure upgrades required to accommodate the new docks, they are progressing on time and we eagerly await the arrival of the new docks so that we can return to our position as a major world player in the global ship repair market, and to our position as world’s busiest cruise ship repair facility. Alongside the infrastructure we are are advanced in our planning of ensuring we have enough skilled persons and resources to carry out the works for our valued customers,” said Dave Skentelbery CEO, Grand Bahama Shipyard. The shipyard’s apprenticeship program is also ramping up as part of the project, helping equip Bahamians for the marine trade workforce. The four-year program developed with Bahamas Vocational and Technical Institute and the Engineering College in Birkenhead, Liverpool provides training and workshops to ensure trainees are well-versed in all international standards. The first cohort of apprentices started in the Fall of 2023 and recruitment for the second group is now underway with the goal of having over 80 apprentices in training across four trades. The program will broaden access to well-paying, long-term career opportunities at the shipyard and other industrial employers. ### About Grand Bahama Shipyard   Founded in 2000 by shareholders Carnival Corporation & plc, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd, and Grand Bahama Port Authority, Grand Bahama Shipyard is a leader in dry-docking, afloat repairs, refurbishments refits and revitalizations for vessels from the cruise, commercial and offshore segments of the maritime industry. With a strategic location along major shipping routes, Grand Bahama Shipyard has scheduled 85-100 drydocks a year, including more than two dozen cruise ship refits and drydocks annually, and the expanded shipyard is expected to surpass the previous performance.
