 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The was a great experience. Sam was great and very communicative. The price we paid was extremely reasonable and arguably cheaper than all the other options we called. This will more than likely be our go to shuttle service if we sail out of Houston again.

Royal Caribbean sails from Galveston Cruise Terminal 10 at Pier 10, on the east end of the Port of Galveston, about a mile past the Carnival terminals. Your chauffeur drops you at the terminal curb.

Which Royal Caribbean ships sail from Galveston?

In 2026, Royal Caribbean sails Oasis-class ships such as Harmony of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, and Symphony of the Seas from Galveston, along with Mariner of the Seas. Icon of the Seas is scheduled to begin sailing from Galveston in August 2027. We provide transfers for every Royal Caribbean sailing.

How much is a private ride from Houston to Royal Caribbean Terminal 10?

One-way flat rates from IAH or Hobby are $175 for an executive sedan or passenger van, $200 for a luxury SUV, $225 for a Chevrolet Suburban, and $325 for a 14-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Rates are per vehicle, the same any day of the week, and gratuity is added at checkout.

How early should I be picked up for my Royal Caribbean sailing?

We suggest scheduling IAH pickups 3.5 to 4 hours before your assigned boarding time, and Hobby pickups about 3 hours before boarding. This allows for I-45 traffic and the busy drop-off lane at Terminal 10.

What time should I book my flight home after a Royal Caribbean cruise?

Guests usually leave the ship in the early morning. We recommend booking flights after 12:00 pm from Hobby and after 1:00 pm from IAH, so you have time to disembark, clear customs, and drive to the airport without rushing.

Do you provide child seats for families?

Yes. Rear-facing, forward-facing, and booster seats are available for $15 per seat. Tell us your children's ages when you book.

Can you pick us up at Terminal 10 after our cruise?

Yes. Pre-book your return ride and your chauffeur will be waiting at Terminal 10 when your ship docks. They will text you once you clear customs and drive you to IAH, Hobby, or your home.

How early should I book my Royal Caribbean transfer?

We recommend booking at least 24 to 48 hours in advance, and 1 to 2 weeks ahead for spring break, summer, and holiday sailings, when Sprinters and larger vehicles fill up first.
