We are getting back to Galveston after a cruise in January. We fly out of Houston Bush Airport the next day and have some time to spare. Should we stay in Galveston or find a hotel closer to the airport? What’s the best way to travel from the cruise port to the airport? I’ve seen lots of tips on getting from the airport to the cruise port, but nothing about the trip back. Any advice?
Here is the original question for reference.

You can use Uber, Lyft, a private car, or one of the shuttle services. The shuttles usually run hourly on cruise days.
There are shuttles available, just like the ones going from Houston to Galveston. Here’s a quick search result that might help: How to get from Galveston cruise port back to Houston?
Is your flight early in the morning? If it is, I would recommend staying near the airport after the cruise. When we got off Harmony earlier this year, we used Uber and stayed right by the airport. My family took a shuttle, but it stopped at Hobby Airport on the way, and their trip ended up taking much longer than ours.
Try looking up Galveston Shuttle or Galveston Limousine. They run buses between the port and the airport. If your flight isn’t on the same day, you could stay at a hotel near the airport. You can use the shuttle to get to the airport and then take a hotel shuttle from there.
