Galveston Cruise Terminal Transportation
The Port of Galveston operates three cruise terminals along Harborside Drive: Terminal 10 (often Norwegian/MSC), Terminal 25 (Carnival and Princess), and Terminal 28 (Royal Caribbean's purpose-built terminal opened in 2022; Disney also sails from the port). Knowing your terminal matters — they sit up to a mile apart.
Lryde.com drivers ask for your ship name up front and stage at the correct terminal curb, with luggage-capable vehicles bid to your party size.
