Arriving At The Cruise Terminal & Dropping Off Luggage For A Galveston Princess Cruise:
1. Make sure you verify with Princess Cruises the terminal that your ship will be departing from. Princess uses both Cruise Terminal 25 and Cruise Terminal 28, which are both located next to each other off of Harborside Drive. The terminal can vary depending on the sailing date so make sure you confirm where you will need to go.
2. Drop your luggage off at your ship's cruise terminal. The luggage drop-off at each of Galveston's cruise terminals is clearly marked with signage and porters wearing the official vests should be able to assist you. If you are arriving via a parking lot shuttle they will help direct you to what you need to do to get your luggage dropped off. Be careful not to not accidentally drop off your luggage at the wrong cruise terminal!
3. Make sure you keep your boarding pass, documentation, and anything else needed for the boarding process with you (do not accidentally let this stuff get in the checked luggage).
4. Follow the directions of the terminal staff and signs at your respective cruise terminal. The staff are usually friendly and able to easily point you in the right direction throughout the check-in process.
5. Make sure you follow any other check-in instructions sent to you from Princess Cruises and bring all of the correct items/documents needed to board.
