Pre - or Post - Cruise Itinerary
Many travelers come from varying states to board their Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International or Disney Cruise Line ships from the port of Galveston. Early boarding times mean that out-of-state guests may need to arrive in Galveston the day prior to departure.
Salt Water Gift Shop has what you need to make the best of your day in Galveston! Here’s a list of ideas available right from our shop:
-
Rent a surrey bike – This four-wheeled, covered bike is perfect for couples and families looking for a leisurely way to see the beaches and city. With two-, four- and six-seat capacity, your will be discovering Galveston in no time.
