Port Galveston

[RV1863]

Has anyone parked their RV in a cruise terminal for a week? We're cruising out of Port Galveston and we're thinking of driving the RV. Are there security risks (beyond normal) to consider?

Anyone had an experience with parking your RV in a cruise port for a week?

I am an avid cruiser, and also am very interested to hear about parking by cruise ports (and their vicinity).

I wonder if maybe some other forum may have covered this in depth? Anyone know?

Drove The Axis to Galveston for the cruise a few weeks ago. Everything was fine. Parking was easy, the security people helped me back it into a space. The shuttle stopped to pick us up within minutes. After the cruise the shuttle dropped us off right at the RV. All in all, pretty easy.

No problems with security. RV was totally fine when we got back from the cruise. We removed the mattress pad from the front cab drop down bunk and stored items that were valuable in the bunk fully raised. This seemed to work really well. There were 5 RVs that we saw. Had to pay double the price.

This was our first major trip with the Axis since driving it from Chicago when we picked it up in November. Happy to report that it performed very well. No issues to report, everything worked well.

I went to Cruise Critic .. found RV parking at Lighthouse Parking offers RV Parking .. one person was looking for space for their 40' motorhome...one source said you pay for 2 slots or whatever is required.

If you google Cruise Parking Glaveston you will find many options..and phone numbers for additional information.

We cruised from Vancouver and found several options available...wound up parking in 'cruise parking' at the RV Park we stayed at north of Seattle..
$4 per day during cruise including electrical hookup...
