This was our 6th cruise with Princess and our first as Platinum members.
Arrival: We arrived in Houston Friday night around 8pm and met the Princess representative at baggage claim, and were put in our own van for the hour ride to Galveston.
Hotel: Princess booked us into the Hotel Galvez. It is a lovely old hotel, and very clean. The lobby is being renovated so you couldn't see the entire lobby past the construction wall. Ate a late dinner at the restaurant, and it was fine if pricey. Also had the breakfast buffet the next morning and it was good quality for the money. Next time I would arrive earlier to see more of what Galveston has to offer.
Standard Princes mini-suite. Uncovered but large balcony. Nice sized bathroom with tub. Comfortable bedding. Two flat-panel TVs. Large sofa that opens into queen bed.
