Carnival Vista Behind The Galveston Wharves Cruisers sailing from the Port of Galveston are now able to be picked up or dropped off using an Uber ride share. The Galveston Wharves and Uber recently signed an agreement earlier in May 2023 that will allow Uber uses to be dropped off & picked up at all three cruise terminals.
According to the Port of Galveston's press release, cruisers that are going to be using Uber should look for signage that points to the dedicated drop-off and pick-up areas.
Which cruise lines will guests be able to use Uber to get to?
The Port of Galveston's press release states that all three cruise terminals will have a designated Uber drop-off/pick-up spot. This means guests sailing on Carnival Cruise, Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line, Princess Cruise Line, and Norwegian Cruise Line will have the option for Uber regardless of which cruise terminal their cruise is departing from.

Tip: For Pick-Up Make Sure You Specify The Cruise Terminal You Are At
Make sure your request for a pick-up after the cruise is over is from the cruise terminal you are actually at. Since there are 3 cruise terminals (Cruise Terminal 25, Cruise Terminal 28, and Cruise Terminal 10) you should make sure when you put in for your ride that you are going to get your driver to come to the correct cruise terminal.
The same thing applies to getting dropped off, but you should be able to communicate with your driver to make sure you get dropped off at the correct cruise terminal.
