Lighthouse Cruise Parking

Excellent service! I was seriously running behind schedule and frantically searching for a parking and shuttle service to go on my very first cruise! I picked one almost directly across from the ship terminal (Lighthouse Cruise Parking). They accepted a CC and lead me to a parking spot which i felt safe leaving my vehicle for the next 6 days. My bags were loaded and unloaded for me I was told where to meet when i returned and bam! They were there loading us up I waited no more than 20 minutes (YES 20 min. total) from the time i originally parked to the time i arrived and was dropped off 6 days later. Quick efficient service. Integrity! I left a backpack on the return shuttle which the staff held on to until i was able to pick it up! Keep your contact info on all your luggage I will from here on out. Thanks Lighthouse!

Great experience, have been before and will use again! They accept competitors coupons as well. Friendly staff from lot attendant to driver and other staff. Waited by car in the covered lot for just a few minutes a shuttle pulled up and we were off to the cruise terminal. Within a few minutes in all the traffic we were at the terminal to board the Carnival Freedom. They helped take our bags off and the courteous staff told us to remember where to catch the shuttle when we got back.
Very easy to find when we got back to Galveston as well since we remembered they park near the yellow flag. Worth every penny and we will use them again in the future.

No hassles — close to cruise terminal. You can walk or take the shuttle. Shuttle can take longer than walking as they take a longer route and roads can be crowded. Looks like a scary industrial area, but likely is safe as it is very close to the historic Strand district in Galveston. Covered parking is open on the sides, so it is not fully covered, but not bad.

Worst parking before you cruise, don’t go in there!
First, they lure you into going in, making a right turn to avoid the port traffic. They charge $ 60 and the shuttle takes anywhere between 20 min and over 1 hr. I personally asked the management via Unilocal right after we got on the ship (1 ¼ hr late) why it took over 1 hr to pick us up from the parking, and got another apology, and to please stop by and see the mgr upon our cruise return. We did exactly that, and the older guy collecting at the gate said he was finding it hard to believe that it took that long and apologized again, all after we had to wait another 20 min for the return shuttle. Terrible service.

Avoid. They acted Inconvenienced to pay be credit card. Waited 30 minutes to get a shuttle. Broke down on way to terminal. Entertained by slapstick antics of crew. And you need cash to tip driver. They put us on another bus. Glad we were early to the terminal.

We had a great experience with this company. Car was safe, covered and they were right there when we got off the ship. No hassles whatsoever. It’s a couple of blocks from the pier and easy to find.

Best place to park when cruising out of Galveston. Prepaid covered parking spot is just under $ 50. The lot is secure and gated.
Located just two blocks from the port with shuttle service, this place is Easy and fast! No waiting in lines, just park and go! Much easier to park here than deal with the hassle and crowds at the «official» port parking lots that require you to drop off bags at the terminal before parking your vehicle.
Pick up upon return is a breeze! Lighthouse has there own bus stop in front of the terminal with shuttles waiting to bring you back to your vehicle.
I’ve parked here now on two occasions and have been extremely satisfied with both experiences.

I was very disappointed with Lighthouse. When we arrived, we had to wait over 30 minutes in the heat for a shuttle to arrive to take us to the cruise terminal. When we returned, we had to wait over an hour (again in the heat) for a shuttle to take us back to our cars. We had to load our own luggage onto the van and when the driver dropped us, he said he would not be taking the luggage to our cars, he would drop them centrally and we could then drive to pick them up. We again had to unload the luggage from the van and then load in our cars. Very disappointing.

Lighthouse Cruise Parking delivered a pleasant experience for us. We booked online after researching our options. Their website is informative and simple to use. Their pricing offers an excellent bargain. Although they are a few blocks away from the terminal, they have free tram service. We quickly arrived at the cruise departure area in a large, comfortable, clean, colorfully labeled Lighthouse Tram driven by a uniformed attendant who was very helpful and friendly. We felt comfortable that our vehicle would be safe in their gated enclosure and under the protective shelter. Upon our return the clearly visible tram was waiting for us, ready to load our luggage and whisk us back to our vehicle. Our experience was totally hassle free. Many of the closer cruise parking spots require you to walk with your luggage to the terminal. We did not have to handle our luggage at all. We will definitely use their service again on our next cruise.
