Norweign Sea

Hello,

I am interested in taking a cruise out of Galveston in May, probably on the Rhapsody of the Seas but we are open to the Elation , or the NORWIEGN SEA, which we were on twice when it was called the Seaward.. We live in CA and would do our own air fare as we have free air miles. Does anyone know what major airport is the closest to Houston, how long it takes to get from the airport to the dock,
and what the cost of the cruise lines bus transfers are? I am looking for recommendations on hotel accomodations as well. Do any hotels have FREE shuttles to the dock?

If you have been on a ship out of Galveston or Houston please tell me which one and what you liked about it, disliked about it, and what you thought of the itinerary.

Thanks everyone,
Paljoeysmom

hi

Can only help you a little, we are leaving on Feb 7th on the Sea. We are flying into the main airport which travelocity said is about an hour away from the port. There is another airport but there are no representatives from Norwegian that work at that one.
We have booked transport through Norwegian for $40.00 a person for trips to and from the airport.
This has been charged to our room account.

An update to the previous reply, Norweigan only has a shuttle bus out of Bush International (IAH) for $40 roundtrip per person to the Houston pier. It's 60 miles to the pier.

We are taking the Sea on 02/07. We couldn't find any hotels that would do a park and sail, or a shuttle. We found that it is actually cheaper use a limo service (4 of us going, $60 total each way) then it was to use the bus or a cab from the airport.
