One of my favorite pre-cruise activities is to watch cruise ships arrive, depart, or sit docked in Galveston on webcams. Luckily there are some free webcams that typically show Galveston cruise ships on days when they are docked. The Galveston cruise terminal camera is located on top of the Harborhouse Hotel and on days cruise ships are in you can see Cruise Terminal 25 and 28. The cruise terminal camera that captures Cruise Terminal 10 is located at the Marina Bar & Grill.
Below are some links to the video webcams I watch when cruise ships are either arriving, departing, or docked in Galveston.

Galveston.com's Cruise Video Cam
The Cruise Cam on Galveston.com is my favorite webcam. Generally, when a cruise ship is docked at terminal 25 the webcam will zoom in to see part of the cruise terminal's pier and part of the ship. When a cruise ship arrives or departs this webcam is controlled by a volunteer camera operator that follows the ship as far as the webcam can show.

Galveston.com's Emerald Cam
This webcam is located on the top of the Emerald in Galveston. When a cruise ship is arriving or departing this webcam will generally be operated by a volunteer camera operator that follows the ship in or out. While a cruise ship is docked in Galveston, ships at cruise terminal 25 or cruise terminal 28 can usually be seen. During times when a cruise ship is not docked, the webcam generally rotates to show different spots of Galveston Island.
