A Note From the Author

The Galveston Cruise Destinations blog was started out of a love for both travel and helping others plan stress-free vacations. Over the years, I’ve taken cruises and traveled internationally and domestically while staying in budget, mid-range, and luxury hotels, eating at local casual and fine-dining restaurants, and exploring things to do in various destinations.

With certificates and designations as a Galveston Island Pro from Galveston Travel Trade and a Caribbean Destination Specialist from The Travel Institute, along with my decades of travel experience, every guide and recommendation you’ll find here is written with you—the traveler—in mind.

My goal is simple: to make your trip easier, more enjoyable, and filled with great memories. Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a seasoned traveler, I’m here to share honest tips, personal experiences, and up-to-date resources so you can plan with confidence.

I’d love to hear about your Galveston adventures, too! Feel free to connect with me through the blog or on social media—I enjoy hearing how others make the most of their time before and after cruising from Galveston.
