Weβre on our way from Detroit to Galveston, by way of Houston Hobby.
Doing our best to dodge storms and make it to our Carnival Breeze cruise on time! Travel changes, late-night flights, and a midnight Uber adventure⦠come along for the ride as we navigate the challenges of pre-cruise travel days.
What Youβll See
Adjusting our travel plans around approaching storms
Arriving at Houston Hobby Airport close to midnight
Finding baggage claim and Uber pickup zones
Late-night Uber trip to Galveston Island

Key Takeaways
Arrive at your port city at least one day before your cruiseβtwo if weather looks questionable.
Flexibility pays off when travel plans change suddenly.
Companion passes and travel credits can ease unexpected costs.
Houston Hobby Airport is smaller and closer to Galveston than IAH.
You can still find Ubers late at night from Hobby Airport.
Always travel with a cruise packing checklist!
