Hi all,
I have been searching for information on this and what I found is kind of old information. I might have even posted to ask these same questions in the past.
I have an opportunity for a free cruise out of Galveston and have a concern about the thruway bus from Galveston to Longview after the cruise.
Has anyone done this recently?
One post I read said something about having to call this bus 24 hours in advance(to make sure they come), which is probably costly since you are on a ship.
I also thought about riding up with the family to Houston and going home from there. They would go to the airport and most likely I would get a cab to the Amtrak station. Bus leaves at 1:00pm and I am questioning if I have time to get there in time. There is really no set time to getting off of the cruise ship. I think the latest we have gotten off a ship is 10:30am.
Also does this thruway bus to Longview leave from the Houston Amtrak station?
Since I am a worry wart, I am concerned of the bus ride from Galesburg to Springfield. In snow storms do they keep the highway fairly clear? I live in Colorado and know how they do the roads here and it depends on the amount of snow.
I would love to do this cruise, new ship for me and new Amtrak route and train.
Any thoughts on this anyone?
Thanks!
