Robert, I checked out the hotel you mentioned as we will be heading to Galveston a few weeks after you. We were thinking about staying in Houston and driving down to Galveston the day of the cruise, but thought about the Holiday Inn n Galveston, because wherever we decide to stay, we will be meeting our friends who we will be sailing with. Thought if we could leave our cars at the hotel, we would save a lot on parking, but this website about the hotel, says absolutely no cars may be parked there while on a cruise. Click the following link and then click on parking options: http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ss/1/en/h...equestid=308343

Have you parked there before? I know you sailed out of Galveston on your recent cruise. Was just wondering if that is something you have to arrange directly with the hotel manager or what....

I just got off the Phone with them and yes you can leave your car there while your on the cruise! They have a service that takes you to the Pier but Id suggest a Taxi Going and coming back,its faster! Maybe! Id call the hotel and book Direct through them heres the number!1- 409-762-4141 If you Just book the rooms with the option of cancelling then its $149.00 Per Night $144.00 Per night if you Prepay!

Thanks for the info Robert. I will check with our friends and see if they want to go ahead and drive into Galveston on Saturday and spend the night there. It is 50 miles further to drive on Sat. for both of us, but as they are just coming in from Waco, they should be no big deal to them. We will leave here on Friday morning and probably drive about 700 miles of it on Friday, leaving us another 400-450 on Sat. We always fly to the departure city - I told Greg a little car trip would be fun (not sure he agrees) and I think it will be nice to not have to try and cram my formal gowns into a garment bag. Thanks again for the info...
