New Royal Caribbean cruise terminal in Galveston is nearly complete
Royal Caribbean’s new cruise terminal in Galveston, Texas is nearing completion.
One of the few projects to continue work during the cruise industry shutdown of 2020-2021 was an expansion of Royal Caribbean’s presence in Galveston.
A construction update shared by the cruise line indicates they are 75% complete with construction.
The $125 million, 161,000-square-foot cruise terminal will cement the company’s presence in the Texas cruise market for decades, not only with a larger building, but with increased capacity as well.
Royal Caribbean International President and CEO Michael Bayley posted on Facebook, “Texas will soon be able to welcome our Oasis Class ships – some of the largest in the world! And we’re kicking off with Allure of the Seas!”
The first Allure of the Seas sailing is scheduled on November 13, 2022 to coincide with the opening of Terminal 3 cruise terminal.
Not only can Terminal 3 handle Oasis Class ships, it will also be able to accommodate Royal Caribbean’s new Icon Class ships.
Allure will sail 7-night Western Caribbean cruises to destinations like Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico; and Roatan, Honduras.
Inside the terminal
New cruise terminals are more than just a place to check-in and board your cruise. With the new building comes a smoother process, as well as enhancements in the embarkation and disembarkation procedures.
Royal Caribbean says it will be a state-of-the-art building that will be LEED-certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), which means it will be environmentally responsible and use resources efficiently.
Galveston’s new terminal will also have a special area for suite guests with their own “plussed” seating area before boarding begins.
