Welcome to my Galveston site, focused primarily on cruising from Galveston.
This is an attempt to centralize information for those interested.
I am within driving distance, so I can't personally recommend most of these services,
but will provide links where possible to CC, C@, or other sites with reviews.

Cruises

Currently 3 ships cruise from Galveston year round:
    - Carnival's Elation has done 7-day trips each Sunday for at least a couple of year, and it scheduled to do so though the end of 2006.
    - Royal Caribbean's Rhapsody of the Seas and does 7-day trips leaving each Sunday, with the exception of a 9-day/5-day combination it seems to do around Christmas and New Years some years depending when the holidays falls.
    - Carnival's Ecstasy (Elation's sister ship) does a 5/5/4 rotation each 2 weeks on Mon/Thurs/Sat.

In addition:
    - Grand Princess did 7-day trips leaving each Saturday last winter, and will be back this winter to do the same itinerary.
    - Celebrity's Galaxy does 11 and 12-day trips to the Panama Canal, but will be taking on a different itinerary out of San Juan (I believe) next winter.
    - Splendour of the seas has done a Panama Canal trip previously, but this coming winter is planned to a 5/5/4 rotation on Mon/Thurs/Sat like Ecstasy.
    - The World is planned to stop into Galveston for 3 days in Jan 2006.
    - NCL cruises out of Houston. I may add more info on that later, but for now will just note that this is NOT out of Galveston, put a separate port entirely.
The Port of Galveston maintains a PDF calendar. It currently doesn't appear to be updated for winter 2006 but otherwise should be OK:
