Yes we will be on the Conquest on October 23rd, I am a little annoyed as we had purposely chosen New Orleans as it was only a four hour drive from home, so we had to scramble and get air tickets,to Houston, plus the extra expense of over $600.00 which is nothing to complain about really considering the Katrina tragedy.Does anyone have any information regarding getting from Houston to Galveston?
This is my first posting and I have read many reviews regarding the Conquest and all the information that is posted on the different sites, and found it very usefull. One silly question, do they sevre afternoon tea? I thought I had read somewhere that they did. Thank you all for any help or infromation you can give me.Covkid

I just got a call from my TA saying my Documents were in. I also called Enterprise and have a car booked from the Airport to the Port, then from the Port to the Airport. We booked our flight last night, we are flying in a day early. I Was just wondering if everyone has gotten all there travel arrangements rearranged after the cruise was moved to Galveston? I know it has added a bit more expense to this trip, but we still are going ahead with it. I NEED a Vacation!! :)
All that I have left to do is Book our hotel for Saturday night. Any Suggestions? there all close in price, just don't know which is the best pick?

Is that per person? We rented a car for $79.00. each way. It's prbably a little more than the bus but weve never been to Texas and we wanted to do a little sightseing.

Hi Cpprinttom,

We are also having to change plans because of Katrina. I noticed you reserved a rental car for only 79.00 and was wondering if you return it to the port? We are flying into Bush airport Nov 12th and need transportation to Galveston. We have been trying to reserve a shuttle through Galveston Limo service but as of yet haven't received confirmation with them. Carnival is booked up with their shuttle service for our cruise. Our TA reserved The Tremont Hotel for us and they offer a shuttle service to port only. I will feel much better when we have all our details finalized. Thanks for any tips you can pass my way.

Yes the $79.00 is from Bush Airport and then we drop it off AT THE PORT. The Car rental was $30 but they charge a $40 drop off fee to drop the car at the port. If you want to rent a Car from the port back to the airport, make sure you do it soon. When I called to book that they told me I got the last car for that day!! If you want, I can give you the direct Phone #'s to the Galveston office and the Airport Rental office when I get home from work.

Here are the phone #'s for Enterprise Rental Car offices.
The Houston Airport office # is (281)230-8200
The Galveston Office # is (409)740-0700

I would call the Galveston Office first, they were very helpful .

I also went to www.traveltex.com and near the bottom of the page click on 2005 Travel Guide, give them your street address and they will mail you a big pack of information,. I received a LARGE Texas road map, Hotel Directory, and a Travel Guide with LOTS of info on Texas (AND ITS ALL FREE)!!

Let me know if you have any more questions.
