But the real “aha” moment for you may be the same one I had –  how much fun it was to spend  time getting to know new friends who like the same things. Check with the ships’ excursion desk to arrange tours in Costa Maya. While I have booked tours directly (without the excursion desk involved), be aware that if your tour has some kind of delay, the ship could sail without you. I’m told that excursions booked through the cruise line don’t have that worry. Labor Day will be a complete day at sea doing absolutely whatever you feel like doing.

Enjoy the best Texas has to offer to cruise travelers. Mark Lee, TCMC Production Assistant, has been a fan of Texas Country Music since his college days. He has been cruising with us since 2019 and can be found backstage helping the bands as well as facilitating our guest’s TCMC experience. “US Citizens require a passport book with a minimum of 6 months validity post the return of your sailing and the corresponding visa required for entry and exit from the country. I’m particularly anxious to hear the Rankin Twins and their “blood harmony”. Years ago, one of the Gatlin Brothers told me about blood harmony, the sound of people closely related singing together.

October 20-27, 2024 Booking Form

As far as beautiful beaches,  West Bay Beach seems to get the most enthusiastic  response on TripAdvisor. After two wonderful, unscheduled days at sea and three country concerts, we’re going to get to visit tropical ports in Honduras, the Yucatan and Cozumel. Since we arrive at each port early (7-8a), you’ll have an entire day to explore and enjoy each one. I recommend guided excursions booked through Royal Caribbean through their app using your cruiser number.

Sparkling skylines, dreamy deserts, balmy beaches — everything's bigger in Texas. Hunter started running live sound at Cheatham Street Warehouse in the early 2000s.

Things to Do in Galveston with Kids Royal Caribbean Cruises

The Texas Country Music Cruise is a private group within the general population of the ship. Everyone involved (audience members, crew, musicians) are booked as normal passengers on the ship. We are required to follow all protocol and procedures passengers are required to follow. I also love renting a Moped and toodeling around the less settled part of the island. Be aware that  cruise ships worry about your safety with erratic drivers and less than smooth roads.

Here are Galvestons top rated attractions and tours you dont want to miss. Family activities in Galveston range from exploring pirates and ghosts to heading to the beach and local water parks. If you do happen to plan your Texas vacation during the "winter" (a term that's relative around these parts) months of January and February, just pack a jacket — and an umbrella. While temperatures in Texas rarely fall below freezing — especially not in coastal Galveston — you never know when a scattered shower will pass. The only thing better than the exciting destinations you can reach from Galveston is the world-class cruise ship that takes you there.

Matt Kimbrow is one of the rising stars on the Texas Red Dirt music scene. Jake Worthington is another “Voice” alumni – the “Runner-Up. Jake also had a hit with a remake of Keith Whitley’s “Don’t Close Your Eyes”, one of my all-time favorite songs. And Dalton Domino has to have the very best country star name of all. It’s a guys night out and we all get to tag along. All equipment will have to fit through airport style security scanners.

Okay, let talk about who is playing on the Texas Country Music Cruise and the places you’ll get to visit. You can also click here to book and get complete details and the itinerary. Enjoy this handy guide on the best local restaurants in Galveston when seeking the top places to eat on your visit to this Texas beach town. This charmingly fascinating Texas beachside town is teeming with history and tons of interesting facts.

We don’t have a good way to bring merch cases on board anyway, so logistics and cost make it impractical. We will be providing beer and water in the conference rooms for Studio B performers those nights. We’d love to drop some kegs and do it steamboat style, but RC charges us full price for each bottle. That comes to $50 for a case of water and $182 for a case of beer. Each individual will need to check in on their Royal App or royalcaribbean.com as early as 6 weeks before the cruise. You can visit the  Mayan ruins sites at  San Gervasio  or get a glimpse of the beautiful  reefs in the comfort of a  glass-bottom boat tours.

On July 13, 1837, the commodore of the Texas Navy sailed to Cozumel, raised the Texas flag on the beach and appointed a local mayor who swore allegiance to Texas. President Sam Houston was not amused but I think it lend a special flavor to visiting Cozumel. The largest and most developed of Honduras’ three Bay Islands with an average daily temperature of 84° F , so it should make us Texans feel like we’ve landed in Heaven.

TCMC rents concert space and hires personnel from the ship for our private shows to TCMC patrons. The ship runs on a very tight schedule, so we only have the venues for the allotted times they have allowed us. We always push hard for as much time as the ship allows us, and we do our best to maximize utility of that time.

Order chile con queso cheese on your trip, but try not to think of it as a mere appetizer. With spicy pico de gallo and crumbly chorizo mixed into its creamy cheese, queso is a meal in itself and maybe even its own food group. Other Tex-Mex classics include burritos, chimichangas and breakfast tacos (in case you can't wait until lunch or dinner to get your fix). Barbecue can tie together your Texas travel, if you let it. Make sure to enjoy at least one plate of brisket, slow-smoked beef breast meat as famous for its melt-in-your-mouth texture as it is for the crispy layer of skin. Thrill the kids at theme parks like Six Flags Over Texas in Dallas and Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio.
