There are many places you can take a cruise from, but cruises Galveston offers can be better for many reasons. Since these cruises leave out of a port that is not considered one of the main ports you can save some money on your cruise. Plus this is a bit of a younger port since Carnival just started sending out cruises from Galveston in 2000.
There are three cruise ships that leave out of this Texas port: The Carnival Triumph, The Carnival Magic, and the Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas. Also, coming to the port in 2012 is the Disney Magic and the Princess’s Crown Princess. This is a growing port and many of the top cruises Galveston has to offer are better than you will find in other ports.
